Curtly Ambrose

The giant Antiguan fast bowler's metronomic accuracy and steep bounce terrorized batsmen throughout the 1990s. Ambrose's ability to maintain line and length at express pace made him virtually unplayable on his day. His 405 Test wickets at 20.99 represents one of cricket's greatest statistical achievements. The partnership with Courtney Walsh formed history's most successful new-ball pairing, dominating world cricket for a decade. Ambrose's 7 for 1 against Australia in 1993 remains one of Test cricket's most destructive spells. His intimidating presence and silent aggression epitomized West Indies fast bowling's golden era.
