He played as a right-arm fast bowler. International career He reached 100 test wickets in only 21 Test matches. A powerful fast bowler with a talent for outswing, he was among the fastest bowlers in the world before severe back injuries cut him down in 1991. He rehabilitated and made adjustments to his bowling action, returning strongly late in 1992. However, in 1993, he was struck by injuries again, not returning until mid-1995.

Curtly Ambrose
Sir Curtly Elconn Lynwall Ambrose KCN (born 21 September 1963) is an Antiguan former cricketer who played 98 Test matches for the West Indies. Widely acknowledged as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time, he took 405 Test wickets at an average of 20.99 and topped the ICC Player Rankings for much of his career to be rated the best bowler in the world. His great height—he is tall—allowed him to make the ball bounce unusually high after he delivered it; allied to his pace and accuracy, it made him a very difficult bowler for batsmen to face. A man of few words during his career, he was notoriously reluctant to speak to journalists. He was chosen as one of the ''Wisden'' Cricketers of the Year in 1992; after he retired he was entered into the International Cricket Council Hall of Fame and selected as one of West Indies all-time XI by a panel of experts. Born in Swetes, Antigua, Ambrose came to cricket at a relatively late age, having preferred basketball in his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
