insidious mentioned Gurbani, i know gurbani picks up tuckloads of wickets. How is he ?

 

Gurbani is a swing bowler primarily.   His main weapon is the inswinger to the right hander although he gets outswing too on occasions.

 

His accuracy is ok ...  but not special from whatever I have seen 

 

And he is not tall.

Those who cover his right armer angle and play lateral variations well. 4th inning pressure is different when you loose early wickets

I mean paine wicket lol did not know where his off stump was thats aus first wicket. You dont expect this from likes of kohli root.

Shows that pace is over-rated without direction. But people here would rather have someone like Aaron because he is phaaast than Abbas.

 

Line and length has always trumped pace - McGrath, Anderson etc

Because pace excites and is good to watch.  People don't watch cricket to get bored.

Haven't seen you around for a while. Welcome back.  You increased the 'sane' Pakistani forum member percentage exponentially!  

 

On topic, I haven't seen much of Abbas bowl yet, but the plaudits are raining in from everywhere for him.  Looking forward to watching him bowl next when I get a chance!  

Thanks, I do post actually while Pak matches, not too much though... Actually find it hard even to watch matches LIVE now most of the times...

 

Yeah although Abbas performed everywhere he played so far but here it's been considered special because of i. consistency; took wickets in all 4 inng with an exceptional avg of 10.5 overall ii. that too on UAE wickets iii. his control over line & length...

Well any one can take a wicket. Taking 10 wickets is special his current form wont be retained when he plays further there was some poor batting by Aus thats clear to see. I do not see your point. You mean abbas is some grrat bowler who will keep running through sides each test lol chill man.
