SS,
Ambrose is a deadly, miserly bowler and immensely likable like most from W.I but my all time favorite is Wasim Akram (and Shane Warne too) - avar bowling oru kavidhai, majestic and beautiful.
A measure of Ambrose's greatness was the way Sachin treated him.
Another thing we must keep in mind is he was fun to watch while batting also :lol: Bat avaru kai la pencil madhiri irukkum!
Nest-u Wasim Akram thaan but adhu varaikum please share some memories. I love to read!
once against India he kissed his bat after hitting a six in a crucial situation and we went onto win that match with sachin bowling the last over....or am i confusing between two matchesQuote:

ohh..yeah
and that was a good catch by azhar... :)
prabhu.. was that patterson or andreson cummings :? was it not 41st over but kapil, manoj, javagal and venky had bowled their overs and hence sachin was given the over ?
91-92 la Venky illaye. Subroto Banerjee right? And i think it was Srinath's debut (yaanai thumbikkayala kaasu vangittu aasirvadham panra madhiri poduvaaru modhalla ellam - high bowling arm action)Quote:

correct cr.. it was subroto banerjee.. he bowled well in that match.. he moved the ball both the ways, as against srinath who was bowling only inswingers
Oh Cummins-A....atleast Patterson was the non-strikernu ninaikkarEn.Quote:

How come they didn't use Ravi Shasthri ? I remember he played the match..and made 120 ball 30 something :-)
CR, adhE adhE.
i think ambrose got the man of the match in that tied one dayer for his 2 for 9 and 35 odd run partnership with cummins.. appaadi some thing relevant to this thread..
Cummins was the non-striker. Kapil Dev Flitnoff-Lee vaidhyam-lam koduthaaru Cummins-kuQuote:

1. Banerjee was the one who was hitting big, so he had to be on strike even if there was a run in that shot it had to be ignored since that would bring Srinath on strike
2. There was no run for that shot!
3. Our daddhi still ran and got run out - for what, I ask?
4. And then made a big show of berating Banerjee
That day, I learnt the value of CYA. Thappu nadandha parava illai, adhai mathavanga mela pazhi podum thiramai vENum. Appo dhaan pozhaikka mudiyum-nu naan katRa naal adhu.
Srinath-kum mela dhaddhi na adhu raju dhaan. In the same world cup, with 4 to win, Srinath hits a trademark vertical sixer (i.e.) huge height - actually, the batsmen could have easily ran 3 for that shot. But our Raju is paraaaku parthufying as Steve Waugh drops the catch but throws back the ball. By the time Raju completes the second run, Srinath has caught up with him at the non strikers crease for his third run :rotfl:
Indha dhaddhi paraaakku parthundu run out aayi we lost by one run. Ozhunga Odi irundha tie aayirukkum. Enna Kodumaiyana kaalangaL avai.

Case in point is the sydney test in australia 91-92. We badly needed a bowler to finish off Aussies and our man was quietly recovering in the hut.
Ironically Shastri was a match winner in that game, 30-odd of 110 balls or so. No other player could last half the time on that perfect fast bowling pitch.
I still recollect Srinath bowling a beauty to clean Arthurton first ball.
Then there was that Ambrose six off Kapil towards the end. If I remember right, Cummins survived a confident shout for lbw one ball before he edged to Azhar.
The video of the game is floating somewhere on the net I think..

Consumed by guilt of not making relevant posts...goes for a tangent:
Did Ambrose tour India in 1994 (Padams) series ?
I remember Kenneth and Winston Benjamin (!). I remember Walsh hitting Prabhakar (gAji party carefully moves away from the stumps before falling). I don't remember Ambrose at all.
But I distinctly remember an instance relating to him, which I am not able to place.
Srinath was trying hard to get a bouncer right but only managed no-balls, wides that too to unsurprised Windies batsmen. By the time he finally got it right, the batsman unfortunately was Curtly Ambrose who pulled it to square leg for an effortless six.
