Abbas is the type of bowler I would poop my pants about, says Vaughan

Mohammad Abbas reached 50 Test wickets faster than any other Pakistan bowler bar Yasir Shah on Tuesday by removing Usman Khawaja and went on to claim a further four scalps on Wednesday as Australia crumbled

Michael Vaughan described Mohammad Abbas as a "poop my pants" bowler after the Pakistani ripped through Australia's top order in Abu Dhabi.

Abbas reached 50 Test wickets faster than any other Pakistan bowler bar Yasir Shah on Tuesday by removing Usman Khawaja and went on to claim a further four scalps on Wednesday as Australia crumbled to 145 all out.

The seamer also impressed on tour in England during the summer, leading Vaughan to give a frank assessment of how he would have felt going in to bat against Abbas.

"Having watched Mohammad Abbas now for over a year, I have decided he would get me out every time within about six balls," Vaughan posted on social media.

"The type of bowler I would poop my pants about. Thought I would let you all know."

Abbas enjoyed a prolific spell with Leicestershire in Division Two of the County Championship and one of the men tasked with keeping him quiet - Kent captain Sam Billings - agreed with Vaughan.

"Did it week in week out on Div Two wickets as well... blew front pads off for fun! My shin is still bruised," Billings said of the man who claimed 50 wickets at 17.72 for Leicestershire in 2018.

The Grace Road faithful will be delighted he is to return in 2019.
