Mohammad Abbas speaking on TV
"I had an injury so I had to work hard"
"I was sticking to my basics and I was focused on my strengths, I tried hitting my areas"
"In some matches, I was bowling a little short but I kept working hard in practice"
"Bowling at one line and varying your lengths is difficult, it requires a lot of hard work. I have played 9 years of domestic cricket and I have been with the Pakistan team for the last 3 years"
"After injury, coming back into form is very difficult. It had rained in Dubai and I dived and got stuck in the sand. In Dubai I had a check up and they said to have surgery, but our physios and doctors worked hard with me. I worked on my fitness also and lost weight, after that my line and length was still not consistent"
"Last 2-3 weeks when I was with the team in Australia also, I was watching my bowling from before and was trying to hit the basic (right) area. In the last match, it was OK. I bowled some good balls but I couldn't bowl good overs"
"Today, the ball was swinging and seaming and I got success"
"Shaheen is improving every day, I speak to him a lot and we speak to each other about bowling together"
"Playing in front of your crowd is a different feeling"
(Ramiz teasing about speed) "Do you want me to get wickets or to bowl at 150kph"
"When I was in Australia, I spoke to Waqar bhai etc. at a time when I wasn't managing to get wickets. I said Waqar bhai I am feeling a little sad, I want to contribute to the team and put in effort. He said to have patience and my time will come. That same day, I contributed with Yasir Shah in a partnership also. Now, this match has come and the others have given me confidence as well"
"Our batsmen are regretting that they didn't score more runs in the first innings"
"We all help each other with teamwork, in the last match I bowled a couple of poor overs so the other guys lifted me and said you are the #1 bowler. We have a good combination with good guys"
"In the 4th innings the ball will break, I am hopeful that Yasir bhai needs just one wicket and once that happens, he will blow them away, he is a top bowler"
