South Africa fast-bowler Dale Steyn has heaped praise on Pakistan bowling sensation Mohammad Abbas after his stunning performances in the ongoing Test series against Australia in the UAE.
On the fourth day of the second Test, Abbas broke the backbone of Australian batting line-up by taking four quick wickets to lay the foundation for an emphatic win for the hosts. At lunch, Australia were struggling at 155/7, needing 383 to win with Abbas being the pick of the bowlers with stunning figures of 4/56.
Following Abbas’ stellar show, Steyn took to social media to shower praise on the pacer and said that the Pakistani pacer will go on to become the new no.1 bowler in the longest format of the game. Steyn’s post read: “I see a new number 1 Test bowler coming… Mohammad Abbas”.
Meanwhile, former England skipper Michael Vaughan said that Abbas is an incredible bowler in all conditions. His post read: “I am only watching & I reckon @Mohmmadabbas111 has had me out 10 times already this morning …. Incredible bowler in all conditions …. #PAKvAUS”.
