Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Unfortunately, for the most part of his career, Abid had to play second fiddle to spinners. His game was also perhaps more suited to the abridged version of the game. Inspite of all that he continued to put up some fine performances in Tests.
In 1971 when India won their first ever series in England, he came up with a sterling show at Old Trafford by taking a four-for in the first innings. When India had a disastrous tour of England in 1974, it was again Abid who stood tall amidst the ruins, with a blazing knock in the second innings at his happy hunting ground, Old Trafford. The knock still went in vain as India lost.
In the few ODIs he played, Abid performed creditably. In the 1975 World Cup, he gave a good account of himself by scoring a 70 and prising out a couple of batsmen against New Zealand at Old Trafford. Now, that game turned out to be the last time he played for his country.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Abid Ali had the feet of a sprinter, the energy of a marathon runner and the will of a decathlete, but his misfortune was that he was born 20 years too early. His game was made to order for one-day cricket: he bowled brisk medium-pace, fielded outstandingly, and was a busy lower-order batsman who ran between the wickets as if on invisible skates. On his Test debut against Australia at Brisbane in 1967-68, he took a memorable 6 for 55, but Abid Ali was forever destined to play choirboy to India's famous spin quartet. In the same series, he scored 78 and 81 at Sydney, a performance that earned high praise from Jack Fingleton, the noted Australian cricketer-turned-journalist. His career ended abruptly when he was at his peak, after he had top-scored with 70 from No. 7 and taken 2 for 35 against New Zealand in the 1975 World Cup. A bizarre postscript to this premature curtailment came when Abid Ali had the dubious pleasure of reading his own obituary after Farokh Engineer mistakenly announced his death on the air.
