    I'll never forget this test. As an Australian boy we were taught to fear the West Indian fast bowlers. They had some of the biggest names in Cricket and now they had this new gun batter in Lara too. Generally we'd only remain competitive through a stubborn boon or border innings of somewhere between 25 and 55 runs, so seeing Border drop in the first ball after Boon was soul crushing. You knew the Windies were going to towel you up from there, but you still held out a forlorn hope. It wasn't until the 95 tour of the West Indies that Australia confronted and overcame that fear, taking the crown for the next 10-15 years. The dominance of the West indies from 78 through to 95 will forever be one of the greatest in history. Such a powerful team.

      Ajanta Winslow Mendis is a better bowler than Curtly Ambrose. Ajanta Mendis bowls carrom ball which Curtly Ambrose doesn't bowl. Ajanta Winslow Mendis is a mystery man whom the batsmen around the world can't tackle because he bowls carrom ball. Curtly Ambrose is playable but Ajanta mendis is unplayable. Ajanta Mendis is simply the best because he is unorthodox.

      The curator at the WACA actually was fired after the test for preparing a wicket that suited Ambrose as much as it did. I'm guessing the reasoning was for Australia to bowl first, and let Craig Mcdermott and Jo Angel get a go at the WI. For some reason, Border was not confident enough to allow his guys to bowl first( possibly still traumatized from the one run defeat the test before) and decided to let the WI chase on the final day. But that was all predicated on Ambrose having a bad game.......and he had the exact opposite

      Dean Jones was the one who was chiefly responsible for antagonising Ambrose prior to this devastating spell of 7 for 1. Cast your mind back about 2 weeks earlier to the First Final in the limited overs' series at the SCG when Jones implored that Ambrose remove his white wrist bands when bowling to him because they were the same colour as the white ball. Ambrose then let his actions do the talking, not his mouth.

    What I admired most about Curtley is that he got most of his wickets by trapping batsmen with his tight line. You see bowlers picking up wickets with batsmen playing away from their body. Ambrose Had many batsmen defending on the off stump uncertain if to play back or forward getting faint edges of trapped lbw. He literally strangled batsmen out. A great crisis bowled as well. Really top class performer.
