One legend of a fast bowler is this guy King Curtly Ambrose, thanks for the excellent video, we grew up watching these legendary windies fast bowlers. It gives me goosebumps how we used to idolise these guys and would discuss about them during school days and college. One has to look at his statistics to believe that Curtly Elcon Lindwall Ambrose was the most complete fast bowler of the time which had equally great contemporaries but King Curtly stood tall among them ... Economy and Lethal Pace
O man......What a legend Ambrose is. The best when it comes to bowling bouncers. I love the way he used to bowl bouncers & the way he used to terrorize the batsmen. He's my inspiration. His every dismissal was a beauty. I salute him
Bowling AMBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! :'( I miss this guy.. THANK GOD I grew up idolizing him and even used to imitate his action during my school friendly matches.. and THANK GOD I was born in the era of the Ambrose, Walsh, Waughs, etc.. AND thank you ROB for posting videos of that era! CHEERS mate
1990s had some real great bowlers and not to forget Srinath, Vaas, Mcdermott, Bishop, Shoaib, Carins, Some real awesome FAST bowlers back then and Spin bowling wasnt bad either. Warne, Mushtaq, Saqlain, MacGill, Kumble, Paul Strang, Murlitharan, Vettori and so on. Had real competition between bat and ball from 1975 to 2005. now withall due respect apart from Dale Steyn not a single bowler who can claim to be Gr8.
King Curtly is the most complete fast bowler, he had a great strike rate and also was one of the most economical ... He had always performed well against better test teams like Australia and England ....

Salute those batsmens who Plays those WI fast bowlers without Halmets n all that stuff.. at that time pace was everything .. now someone can even win a worldcup with the bowlers of 80mph .. Time is ChangeD @
Great video of a great fast bowler. Rob, thanks for this fine compilation, mate. I'd again suggest you to disable/monitor comments lest curry-munchers ruin this video too. Curtly was a champ and hopefully, the West Indians can rise to their former glory days again. Long live Australian, English, South African, New Zealand, West Indian, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi and Zimbabwean cricket.
@robelinda2 which song is this...the first one from 0:00 till 2:45...I remember hearing it long back but forgot its name?...btw its an awsome compilation Curtly was one of the best a true legend !!!
@Gtbabiee69 Will have to disagree,It has to be Wasim. Although Curtly, Mcgrath, Donald, Wasim,Waqar were all Better than any of the top bowlers playing currently including Steyn.
i would leave out akram. way too overrated for the years after 1995-2003. if it is the nineties, it has to be donald from 1992-1998. akram was beast from 1985-1991. remember, during akram's bowling time (late 80s), he was in intense competition with windies pacemen of the age. ambrose is also an equal contestant with donald to be paceMAN of 90s. so does mcgrath. but mcgrath is like beast from 1997-2007.
@dilkashh overrated? gimme a break. akram is known for his reverse swing...not his pace. ur putting the man in a wrong league. paceman of the 90's eh? shoaib akhter with 100 mph...fast enough?
100mph makes you fast. not the paceman of the decade. and, of course akram is known for his reverse swing. jesus, you got my whole statement wrong. you are so immaturely coming onto conclusions. do you even know when wasim started his career? he was beast from 85-89. the nineties had a plethora of bowlers to consider picking whose the best from....and to bring shoaib's name while we are comparing greats is a sin. just shows how little open minded you are......and lack enough knowledge
and, shoaib akhtar never bowled a delivery 100milesplus through the years 1990-2000. paceman of the ninties and you mention shoaib bowling 100 lmao....you faggot dumb cunty piece of shit!!!!!! SHOAIB BOWLED 100MPH IN WORLD CUP 2003 FOR THE FIRST TIME..........you dumb piece of shit :)
ps - wasim akram started out as a fast bowler. again, another fail on your part. he could bowl 94mph like it was his job......god i hate ppl like you.....i wish i could burn you alive. maybe sometime soon i will get to...now fuck off with your idiocracy. bitch.
@dilkashh wasim akram started out as a fast bowler...thats news to me...it really is. and thats when allan donald was shitting in his pants. allow me to educate u son...when u have an arguement on a forum like this one...it better be based on facts with evidence to back it up with...or else u'll make urself look like an ass. 4 weeks ago, u said...wasim akram was way too overrated for the years after 1995-2003. right?
wasim akram was the highest wicket taker in 99 world cup. suck my dick!
@dilkashh any bowler who can deliver a ball faster than 91 mph is considered a fast bowler...wasim akram was fast...allan donald was a quicker than him...and shoaib akhter was the FASTEST...its about pace aint it? even shahid afridi can ball 89 mph and he's usually a leg spinner. allan donald is nobody. stop worrying about me and work on your statistics.
infact, wasim akram was the highest wicket taker ever till murlitharan of srilanka surpassed it this year. wasim akram still stands second with 502 wickets. donald is number 17 with 272 wickets. fuck mcgrath, fuck ambrose, fuck donald and every other motherfucker you think is better than wasim akram...or faster than shoaib akhter's161 km/h (100 mph). FUCK YOU IF YOU DOUBT MY STATS...dont take my word for it...ask Gary Kristen...
you headless cockroach! you transvestite fuck cunty!!!! GLENN MCGRATH IS THE HIGHEST WICKET TAKER FOR FAST BOWLERS......he has taken more wickets in tests than wasim. furthermore, shoaib chucked. secondly, michael holding was faster than shoaib. and i DO DOUBT YOUR STATS. you are a lying piece of shit.
@dilkashh lol mcgrath took more wickets in a test match...finally, we have an agreement. how many wickets donald has got? even shaun pollock had more wickets than him. i thought u said donald was the paceman of the decade if not the century. as far as shoaib goes...he began his international career in 96.that officially makes him a strong candidate for the paceman of the ninties. secondly wasim akram took 19 wickets in a 2003 world cup even though pakistan didnt qualify for the super six. beast!
donald is the paceman of the 90s. after him glenn. before him curtly. before curtly, akram. before akram, the crazy ass line up of the windies and the aussies. before all of them.....harold larwood.....among many others. peace.
Ah yes Curtly, my favourite fast bowler bar none. Back in his days I would save up money for an entire year just to afford the trip to the Caribbean to see him and Walsh blow away batsmen in Test matches. Those days seem so long ago now.
