I haven't seen much on telly, so can someone explain in simple terms why the Abbas fella is so good? He's described as Right arm Med Fast - but he;s picking up wickets for fun, what is it he's doing?

A la Pollock, McGrath, Srinath and plenty of others, nibbling the ball around at 82-84mph with very few bad balls tends to do well, especially when people have not faced him before.

It’ll do even better in the modern era assuming it’s not on roads as the batsmen don’t have the mentality or techniques to survive

Worth saying the speed is much less important than the accuracy and movement - plenty of top quality test seamers over the years who weren't all that quick, but not many who were erratic or didn't do much with the ball. Abbas is a near constant threat to the off stump, always accurate and always moving the ball just enough.

The amount of comments from class batsman. And bowlers on that link saying Abbas is a Greta bowler surprised me

What’s been remarkable is the nip and seam he’s getting on these so called roads in the UAE

I'd back myself to score more runs than the Marsh Brothers have in the series combined

Surely they need to go

This is the worst Australian team I’ve seen and I’m sure others agree.

Starc nothing without the sandpaper.
Batting looks woeful - even worse with khawaja injured now
Embarassing recall of Siddle - surely aussies have other young quicks. Better hope Cummings and hazlewood are fit for the summer.

The marsh brothers really aren’t the saviours of Aussie cricket despite their ashes heroics
