This brought tears to my eyes. As a Trinidadian, as a little boy grew up in the early 90's who lived 10 minutes away from the Queen's Park Oval, I remember so vividly Sir Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Brian Lara and Shivnarine Chanderpaul defeating the English, Indians, South Africans, Australians, Pakistanis and Kiwis. I am so proud that these men represented the Caribbean so well. So happy to se Sir Ambrose looking well.
Growing up in the 90's I could never quite appreciate the quality of bowlers such as Ambrose, Akram, Donald etc. Now when I look at the current lot of bowlers, I realise what a golden era of cricket that truly turned out to be.
Curtly has smiled more here than his entire career! We can see him smile and relish all those magnificent memories of contests and conquests against opponents around the world! What a player! Awe-inspiring Ambrose!
He's the quintessential fast bowler.That rhythmic run up,that pace and bounce,that metronomic accuracy,the movement he got and of course that deathly stare and silent mouth- damn he was just a silent assassin! Absolute pleasure to watch.My all time favorite!
How can such a humble, joyous man have such a killer instinct. Sir Curtly was my all time favourite bowler, what a humble man and an absolute legend of the game. He would still dominate in todays game.
I rarely heard Curtly speak during his spectacular career. Hearing him here, I now understand how precision, planning, guile and unerring focus made him such a devastating force during an illustrious career. πππ
Being a cricket child from 1986, I have admired Ambrose a lot. It is my pleasure to see him have a wonderful career and give us our happiness. Thanks Sirre. β€β€β€
