Farewell to Curtly:
CricInfo's Colin Croft speaks to the great Curtly Ambrose just after
his last test match at Oval against England.
One of the great fast bowlers, Curtly Ambrose's long career has been
marked by consistent success. When bowling in tandem with his friend
Courtney Walsh, he formed part of one of the most feared and respected
partnerships in Test cricket. A tall man, he over the years has
changed as a bowler from genuinely fast to at times not much quicker
as medium, but as always commanded respect. In his younger days he
could intimidate with his pace and bounce, bowling a nasty bouncer,
mixed in with fast yorkers, and good length balls. As he lost his pace
with age he became a more complete bowler, testing and probing the
batsman with immaculate length and line, the ball seaming in and out.
In the interview Ambrose talks about his illustrious career, his
association with Walsh, the timing of his retirement, his 400 test
wickets and what he plans to do from now.[Listen]
