Mohammad Abbas rewrites record books, becomes second fastest to 50 wickets
The 28-year-old bowler achieved the feat against Australia.
(Web Desk) – Pacer Mohammad Abbas rewrote record books as he became second fastest to 50 wickets in five-day format of cricket for Pakistan.
The quickest to 50 wickets is Yasir Shah who achieved this milestone in just nine Test matches.
The 28-year-old bowler achieved the feat against Australia in Abu Dhabi. Abbas dismissed Siddle to take his 50th Test wicket.
Abbas, who was also Player of the Series in Pakistan’s previous Test series in England, said the key to his success was understanding the conditions, keeping it simple while bowling wicket to wicket, and waiting to take advantage of reverse swing.
“When the ball starts to reverse, I try to attack then. I have been successful because of that. If you talk about pace, my fastest ball here was 138.1km/h and my average speed is 130. I am happy with my speed. But I want to keep on working on my fitness to become a better bowler", Abbas told reporters.
