Abbas is doing well against Australia in UAE. He has picked up 12 wickets in three innings.
Ramiz Raja has announced Mohammad Abbas as the best bowler in the world. The former Pakistan cricketer looks really stirred by the performance of 28-year-old pacer.
Abbas picked up a fifer against Australia in the second Test. Earlier, in the first Test match, he had missed out on picking a five-wicket haul. However, overall he managed to bag 7 wickets in the game.
Before the second Test, he picked up 49 wickets in 9 Tests with a strike rate of 42.1.
Impressed with Abbas' outstanding display of bowling, Raja wrote on Twitter, "Is Mohd Abbas the best fast bowler in the world?? I think he’s close to being one.. wickets on dead pitches and against all oppositions.. 50 wickets in 10 tests with a strike rate of 40. Great stuff!!"

But the fans were not really ready to accept Ramiz's opinion. They went on to thrash the cricketer-turned-commentator.
Here are the tweets:
