the only question was who was your favourite out of Courtney and Curtley, mine was always Curtley. Those arms just looked like they were being controlled by puppetmasters from The Moon.
@vazkevincent Some people forget who lost 4-0 in England. Or who is getting the living daylights smashed out of them in Australia 3-0. Yes i'm talking about the most overrated cricket team in the world, India. Why do they even bother touring Australia ? they haven't won a Test series there in 10 attempts lol. Their specialist batsmen can't handle the extra bounce of Aussie pitches. And their tail-end batsmen are so terrified you can smell the fear through the TV screen !
@2004DAZZA a**hole F**kin C**t did u forget who won the f**kin world cup so go and suck d**k of a bull who the f**k do u think u a**hole MADARCHOD thats indian
@jakegaikwad ha ha ha your funny ! Do you actually think your childish pathetic insults are going to upset me. Your cricket team is an overrated pile of shit. You have never won a Test series in Australia and you never will ! We have won 4 world cups you ridiculous moron. Great to see Dhoni get suspended for cheating lol .
Curtly was just about unplayable at the WACA. Too much pace and bounce. I doubt those overrated Indian jokers masquerading as batsmen will do much better come Friday.
@libertyordeaf hahahahha u fuckin cunt aussir dirty blood , white trash indian batsman are the best in the world , ur opinion dsn count anyways u peice of shit !!!!
@tejbirsingh Yes, 'best in the world'. That's why India is 0-3 down in Australia and lost 0-4 in England. As for you, you are a fine example of the Indian species - cultured, well-mannered and articulate.
Ambrose!!!! WI please forget about your batsmen..please produce a few tall fast bowlers...cricket is getting to be too predictable and boring and waiting for sachin's 100th 1000..i love sachin.but we need make cricket interesting again.
Courtney, Curtly and Bishop formed an awesome bowling combo. Unfortunately Bishop used to get injured constantly and had a curtailed test career. Otherwise even he was easily 300 test scalp material.
@baracusain12: Arguably, Carl Hooper was better than Adams with both bat and ball, and Adams was new to the game then while Hooper had a few years of experience, so the commentator had good reason to say that.
does anyone else miss the duck with steam blowing from its ears. cricketers today need to feel the agony of a duck. that caricature portrays it beautifully,
Incredible spell of bowling. King Curtley was the most devastating pace bowler on the planet back then .... ask Michael Atherton. Man I miss early 90s test cricket, now we have all this one-day T20 crap.
I loved watching curtley but his attitude towards opposition off the field meant he left the game with almost no friends from opposition teams. Guys like donald, hadlee, younis, akram willis, botham were feared but respected and liked by their opponents. Curtley just took the badarse to extremes off the field and ended up the poorer for it. Great bowler but sad story really.
No mate, not a sad story at all. They are just professionals, we need to judge them by their bowling performance on field. Just like how we judge ricky ponting by his batting and not the way he throws his pad and break the glass, do we? Ricky is still a class player..
Courtley & Courtney along with Wasim & Waqar are the best fast bowling pairs i have seen. I started watchin cricket at the fag end of 80's so havent seen the carribean legends or lilee & thompson. But surely these guys would have given them a run for their money....
@theimanghosh Agree mate. The 90's must have been a pretty bad time to be an opening batsman, as pretty much every major nation had at one point during the decade a very good opening bowling bowling attack. As well as the two partnerships you mentioned, South Africa had Donald and Pollock, Australia had McGrath and Gillespie and India had Sreenath and Prasad. Only we (England) did not really have a good opening attack in that period.
@MyQasimali Ha ha. As I said in the post I am an England fan. You have to remember that we were so poor during the 90s that most bowling attacks looked world class against us!!
@theimanghosh Indeed, had it been Waqar, Wasim, Walsh & Ambrose played for the same team throughout, barely had there been a test their team would have lost!
@rcaddict72 : Well as i said, I havent seen the carribean pace quatret live, as a bowling unit they were probably the deadliest, how many times in the history of world cricket it has happened that a team had 4 bowlers who could bowl consistently bowl over 90mph, that too with deadly acuracy & movement ? I guess never. But as individual fast bowlers curtly, courtney, wasim & waqar would be right up there at the top & off all the fast bowling pairs I have seen, they were the best.
@70s80sWINDIES : Well this is debatable, many would say the carribean pace battery, some would say that Snow & Tyson, larwood & company etc etc. But i think Thomson was a shade below par in comparison to Lillee, Marshall, Hadlee, Roberts, Wasim, Curtly & Courtney. Not in terms of pace, which he probably had more than all of them, but may be in terms of accuracy & craft.
@theimanghosh At his peak Thommo was as good as anyone, people remember Thommo for his declining years. Curtley and Courtney were legends. Awesome bowling.
@theimanghosh I was a kid watching Lillee and Thompson and have to say they were the most dynamic bowling duo I have ever watched - even more lethal than the WI bowlers...
@AshwinMI ....hell,what is Zaheer khan doin here...conceded 15 runs in his 1st over in 2003 WC final!! its really an insult to the rest in list...Alan donald,shoaib Akhtar or Shane bond will complete the circle.
the description says all windies have now is tino best ...who d fuck is tino best ????....dat piece of shit from Barbados who does get licks everytime??.....couldnt stop laughing wen i say dat statement
Great days...and this was the very end of WI dominance of the sport, they weren't nearly the team of the previous 16-17 years. Australia were just developing into the new world leaders, of course. One thing that stands out to me is that today's cricketers, with very few exceptions, aren't in the same class. The current obsession with shorter forms of the game nust have alot to do with it. First class cricket is rapidly disappearing, and it's so apparent now in Tests.
@pappukimar420 how the heck did u forget C. Vass from that list. And today's bowlers would include other than Steyn => B.LEE, M. Asif, M. Amir maybe Malinga lol.
@saiaussie..Amir from Pakistan would be legend of current time but unfortunately he got trapped in scandal..a young 17 yrs old fast bowler for whom Michael Holding even cried :(..

courtney walsh and, indeed, curtly were one of the deadly bowling duos in world cricket.... i'm surprised that there hasn't been one great west indies fast bowler to note since their retirements from the game... they were such great role models and great characters for the game, as well..... one other memorable moment from curtly was when he bowled england out for 46 in 1994
He was absolutely incredible. If only there were players like him today. He simply knew how to get people out. Love watching the big guy bowl. What an entertainer!!
@ParisAvenue2005 They shuffled the batting a lot back then. A year earlier G Marsh was dropped which lead to Moody opening. Before the start of this series Moody was dropped and S Waugh came in initially at number 3 with Boon opening. Martyn also came in for D Jones but he was then dropped with Langer replacing him at numbr 3 while Waugh dropped down the order. Taylor had a poor series and with Langer making 50 on debut, Taylor was dropped with Langer now opening and Martyn coming back in. :S :S
@Jazzaaaaa1 Thanks for explaining :) i think i was just getting into Test cricket back in the early '90s. The Boon-Langer opening combination was a weird one, and Steve Waugh was batting high in the order.. i don't remember seeing him that high in the Test order. i do remember the Windies on that tour.. it was their last great side that toured Australia.
@ParisAvenue2005 No probs :) Back then number 3 was S Waugh's normal position for NSW, he wanted to cement his spot there and actually made a 100 in the Sydney test, but with Border, Jones, Boon and Langer able to bat there he never batted there much in his career. They actually changed the line up again after this series for the 93 Ashes. Slater and Taylor came in which pushed Boon back to 3 which pushed Waugh down to his normal number 5 spot with Langer and Martyn dropping to the fringes.
Apparently, he was immensely difficult to play, not just because of his pace and line but also because just before the moment he released the ball, at the top of his action his hand would go above the sight screen at most grounds, leaving the batsmen clueless as to where the ball was for a fraction of a second....
A pleasure to watch bowl. To face as a batsman though? That must have been terrifying. I have Malcolm Marshall ahead of him as the greatest West Indian bowler, but it's very very close.
Indians have ruined the WACA ground. Paying huge bribes to the WACA groundstaff to make it more batsmen friendly, so now it has lost its pace. India did the same thing with the New Zealand grounds also. This is why wickets all over the world are becoming more batting friendly. Indian bribes
@sonofthedestroyer What a load of bullshit. If you know anything about cricket you'll realize that the groundstaff are not controlled by foreign boards -- they are paid by their own board. And the WACA has been flattening out for years.
Ambrose did not get the hattrick. But he got something FAR better. 7 wickets for 1 run. A record that no fast bowler can beat. Well never say never, but certainly very unlikely. Fast bowling these days is not to the standard
@sonofthedestroyer Brett Lee, Mkaya Ntini, Chaminda Vaas, Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan, Stuart Broad, Umar Gul, and Shaoib Akthar would like to object to your last sentence sir.
I was surprised to hear that Ambrose was offered $35 million for 5 years by New York Knicks basketball team but he played cricket for West indies instead..
@skyvaker and this is why west indies cricket will never lift its self from the ashes, if any one of todays current players WI players were offered that they would give up cricket in a heartbeat, ambrose and players like him played for the love of the game, something that is hard to find in west indies players today
my god!!! that's the best pace-bowling spell I have seen....what makes it perfect is that 6 out 7 are caught behind..no bowled...no lbw...and 5 including 4 top-order batsmen did not play any wrong stroke...there is no better reward for a pacer than getting his man caught behind..perfect spell..all wicket deliveries just outside the off stump...perfect pace bowling...
Mark Waugh and Allan Border's dismissals were the perfect deliveries, unplayable, they were lucky to nick it. I only saw Ambrose at the end of his career and even as a young fan I knew he was one of the greats.
It really is sad to see the current state of West Indies cricket team, one time they used to da best team in the world, their bowlers terrorised the batsmen, sad that cricket is slowly getting diminished, with New Zealand following in the footsteps of West Indies, and not to forget Zimbabwe, which had a wonderful during the 90's but now have come down so low, that they have lost their test status.
great fast bowlers in 90's....ambrose,walsh,bishop, mcgrath, gillespie,donald, pollock, akram, waqar, akhtar, srinath......current generation...dale steyn, shane bond..may be zaheer khan, fidel edwards....standards have come down.....
@LyricalMurderer1 Steyn has proven himself all over the world. If he carries on bowling the way he has been doing he will finish his career as an all time great with the best strike rate, even better than Waqar.
@pappukumar420 lol pappu.. you are making fun of Srinath by saying him greatest fast bowler in 90, either you are joking or u have just watched highlites of his wickets :D lol..
Srinath was didn;t even a shit..
Ambrose, Walsh, Waseem, Waqar, Akhtar, Donald, Mcgrath and Pollock only....
good spell... bad video quality...

@ParisAvenue2005 They shuffled the batting a lot back then. A year earlier G Marsh was dropped which lead to Moody opening. Before the start of this series Moody was dropped and S Waugh came in initially at number 3 with Boon opening. Martyn also came in for D Jones but he was then dropped with Langer replacing him at numbr 3 while Waugh dropped down the order. Taylor had a poor series and with Langer making 50 on debut, Taylor was dropped with Langer now opening and Martyn coming back in. :S :S

@Jazzaaaaa1 Thanks for explaining :) i think i was just getting into Test cricket back in the early '90s. The Boon-Langer opening combination was a weird one, and Steve Waugh was batting high in the order.. i don't remember seeing him that high in the Test order. i do remember the Windies on that tour.. it was their last great side that toured Australia.
ParisAvenue2005 1 year ago
@ParisAvenue2005 No probs :) Back then number 3 was S Waugh's normal position for NSW, he wanted to cement his spot there and actually made a 100 in the Sydney test, but with Border, Jones, Boon and Langer able to bat there he never batted there much in his career. They actually changed the line up again after this series for the 93 Ashes. Slater and Taylor came in which pushed Boon back to 3 which pushed Waugh down to his normal number 5 spot with Langer and Martyn dropping to the fringes.

Apparently, he was immensely difficult to play, not just because of his pace and line but also because just before the moment he released the ball, at the top of his action his hand would go above the sight screen at most grounds, leaving the batsmen clueless as to where the ball was for a fraction of a second....

A pleasure to watch bowl. To face as a batsman though? That must have been terrifying. I have Malcolm Marshall ahead of him as the greatest West Indian bowler, but it's very very close.

Indians have ruined the WACA ground. Paying huge bribes to the WACA groundstaff to make it more batsmen friendly, so now it has lost its pace. India did the same thing with the New Zealand grounds also. This is why wickets all over the world are becoming more batting friendly. Indian bribes

@sonofthedestroyer What a load of bullshit. If you know anything about cricket you'll realize that the groundstaff are not controlled by foreign boards -- they are paid by their own board. And the WACA has been flattening out for years.

Ambrose did not get the hattrick. But he got something FAR better. 7 wickets for 1 run. A record that no fast bowler can beat. Well never say never, but certainly very unlikely. Fast bowling these days is not to the standard

Great man, amazing bowler...Still to this day one of my all time favourites.
I think Steven Finn should watch this video before the 3rd test at the Waca, the perfect length and line to bowl at this ground.

@skyvaker and this is why west indies cricket will never lift its self from the ashes, if any one of todays current players WI players were offered that they would give up cricket in a heartbeat, ambrose and players like him played for the love of the game, something that is hard to find in west indies players today

my god!!! that's the best pace-bowling spell I have seen....what makes it perfect is that 6 out 7 are caught behind..no bowled...no lbw...and 5 including 4 top-order batsmen did not play any wrong stroke...there is no better reward for a pacer than getting his man caught behind..perfect spell..all wicket deliveries just outside the off stump...perfect pace bowling...

Mark Waugh and Allan Border's dismissals were the perfect deliveries, unplayable, they were lucky to nick it. I only saw Ambrose at the end of his career and even as a young fan I knew he was one of the greats.

It really is sad to see the current state of West Indies cricket team, one time they used to da best team in the world, their bowlers terrorised the batsmen, sad that cricket is slowly getting diminished, with New Zealand following in the footsteps of West Indies, and not to forget Zimbabwe, which had a wonderful during the 90's but now have come down so low, that they have lost their test status.
