He was terrifying. A gentleman and a terror on the pitch at the same time. We loved him in Australia even when he was destroying us
That’s respect!! Hate to face but love to watch him!
Courtney Walsh is also a legend that should be acknowledged as well
@@kitarokun6564 together they were the last truly fearsome pair the WI had. The end of a production line of terror for opposition batsmen
Courtney Walsh was awesome and for a long time as well.
Ambrose was almost 6'6" or 6'7" but was nicknamed "Shorty" coz, he was replacing Joel Garner who was 6'8" !
My favourite bowler when I was a kid, even though he tended to bowl incredibly well against Australia. Great pace, aggression and control.
The two best WI bowlers: Malcolm Marshall (gone too soon), imagine destroying England while his own thumb was broken. And Michael Holding.
they had 1 of the best wicket keepers ever to keep as well
That pic of Ambrose being dragged away by a teammate: a famous/notorious moment. Steve Waugh standing there “like John Wayne” and Curtly threatening to knock him out. Australia went on to win the match and the series in the Caribbean. The kings were deposed.
Yes, Ambrose was a great big scary monster on the Cricket pitch. I remember him well, tearing it up in the 1980's (?) he was really tall as well and that gave him some frightening speed.
Malcolm Marshall regarded as G.O.A.T in bowling you should really check him out
The great Aussie “geeup” is a tradition that always gets us in trouble. 😅😅
Your observation about small trams lifting against Australia or England: at the time, the West Indians were NOT a small team. They were dominant. They had a production line of talent. Ambrose’s initial reluctance to take up cricket presaged later youngsters who took up basketball or athletics instead. And they went into decline. What if Usain Bolt became a fast bowler instead?
not a small team, but drawn from a relatively small population, around 6 million, this is nothing compared to the likes of India and england etc, but the number, regularity and standard of the players they produced, is just off the charts, when you can pick 3 of the worlds top 5 pace bowlers in 1 team, this is neve going to end well for the opposition, that team of the 70's were something else
For the branding of Cricket, they could use a Competetive West Indies Team again. Swag, Charisma & Skill would be everyone’s 2nd Favourite team outside of their own.
Dean Jones was playing with a broken thumb and also felt a little vulnerable regarding his spot in the team, so he was looking for any advantage he could get. It was a One-Day International and was played with a white ball that was still pretty clean when Jones came in after the first wicket fell. You could make a case that a big white wrist band would be distracting when a batsman is trying to read the white ball out of the bowler's hand… so Jones's request wasn't outrageous. He was a very fine, aggressive batter not afraid to take a risk, but maybe this is one risk he should have avoided.
Us here in Aus loved it when the "Windys" (West Indies) came over to play in Aus. You knew the battel would be amazing. They were the great competitor and greatly admired. Great fun days. Wish the Windys team can build back up to their greatness.
We felt that old glory when S. Joseph destroyed us in the final test last time they toured.
Australia lost and I loved every minute of it, even as an Aussie fan
Windies
5:09 Joel Garner, his predecessor, was nicknamed ‘Big Bird’
Wrist bands were seen as a distraction, but yes Deano was just trying to do something different to put Ambrose off. It did the exact opposite.
You are the only reaction channel which react to other best and legendary players also
Because other channels are only reacting to Indian players only to please the audience.
And you have learnt many things about cricket,pace bounce shots fielding strategy im impressed ❤
I think you should also react to see how cricket bat and ball are made.
Because personally i found it interesting
They are available on RUclips
We actually have done the ball video already! Could check out the bat next! We also just got our cricket balls delivered today!
Growing up in the 80's and 90's one dayers and test between Australia and West Indies was awesome.some of the West Indian players Clive Lloyd.,Jeff Dujon ,larry gomes,joel Garner ,Malcom Marshall ,Curtly ambrose,Richie Richardson Viv Richards Gordon Greenidge Desmond haynes i remember.
Every body loved the West Indies back then, no matter what country you supported. If your country lost to WI back then, you'd be like ok I kinda expected that.
The wrist band controversy was based on the argument that as the bowlers wrist swung into a delivery, its colour distracted the batsman from picking the type of delivery/ grip on the ball
immediately before the release of the ball.
Bro, the < and > keys will move you back or forward one frame on a RUclips video
Any wonder batters breathed a sigh of relief, 6' 7" plus the arm extension, It must have taken real courage to face up to him, bowling a rock hard new cherry with bounce and pace. Also consider there were other quicks in the team champing at the bit to relieve him, the Windies were a great team at the time.
If you blokes have ever done a video on Aussie fast bowler Dennis Lillee I've never found it ... But Lillee was a crowd favourite and an Aussie character worth viewing.
We will have to find one for Lillee soon to check out!
White cricket ball and white wrist band. As batsmen like to try and watch the ball in the bowlers hand the wrist band can effect the batting. So he was right ge could have worn a black one instead. That said all it did was fire Curtly up and the batsmen that followed Jonesy were pretty pissed off as he took his anger out on them. He went up a level in response. Never upset Ambrose
Ambrose and Walsh were terrifying, but not as Terrifying as the preceding four Garner, Hoding, Croft, and Marshall who ranged from 6'8" to 5'11" in |Garner and marshall you had one with prodigious bounce, and another who came with really shallow skidding balls both at enormous speed
Everyone forgets Andy Roberts, the ultimate head hunter!
@rayray-xs6xu I was going to include him, because my memories of him are actually stronger than Croft, but somehow he got lost in me checking Malcolm Marshalls height,
Question you raised on an earlier video about where the bat ends - The bat extends to the batting gloves and typically the gloves have a band at the wrist. So the bat would end where the band of the glove ends. Some batsmen also wear another band above the wrists. If that band touches any part of the glove then it would also count as part of the bat. So there should be a gap between the glove and the other band for it not to be considered as part of the bat
White wrist bands are not allowed in white ball cricket and red wrist bands are not allowed in red ball cricket.
The batsmans ball vision is lost in the matching wrist bands.
The umpires should never have allowed Ambrose to bowl the white ball wearing white wrist bands.
That is why they wear white or cream in red ball cricket and coloured pyjamas in white ball cricket......to see the ball.
Imagine a fast ball from a pitcher wearing all white......now imagine if he is allowed to aim at your head, like in cricket.
And even school boys can bowl at nearly 90 mph and without sight screens to help the batsman see the ball.
Yeah I could see that as an issue. That is allowed though from my knowledge in baseball. Would have to double check it thought. And yeah college baseball players don’t make it unless they can pitch 90+ and really it’s closer to 95+ at the bigger schools. Obviously it’s harder in cricket but we also have seen bowlers in cricket that struggle to hit the 90mph range.
@@RealFansSports
Plenty of club bowlers bowl consistantly over 90 Mph + but either not good enough to go professional or they prefer a real job and guaranteed income.
Indian cricketers now get paid well, but only the Australian Contracted Players get paid as professional sportsman.
Many professional cricketers travel the world playing all year round mostly for room and board and not much else.
I believe they get paid well in Hong Kong and don't even have to be any good.
The rest of the world is not like the USA with billions of dollars to waste on 2nd rate amateurs or keep them at Uni ( college ) , pay them and give them phony degrees every other year to justify their " student" status.
Westindiean bowler Alzari Joseph wears a yellow watch and I still am not sure why he wears it😂
@15:44 - The West Indies were not a "smaller" cricketing nation at the time. They were giants! For decades. My aunt (who is 73 now) remembers watching them play from her classroom window. She looked forward to their games. She had a crush on several WI players.
Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh & Malcolm Marshall were really lethal pace bowlers. During their time they have ruled international cricket with their performance. They were really amazing.....
You are right Zach about the angle of the delivery. The reason why Ambrose was so devastating is because he was around 6 ft 7" tall so at the point of delivery when the ball leaves the hand, Ambrose launches the ball at least ten foot off the ground so the batsman finds it difficult to get a line on the ball due to the angle its coming down at him, and because its coming down between 90 and 100 MPH is almost unplayable. The tall players make the best fast bowlers.
West Indies is not a small cricketing nation. While their fortunes may have waned in recent times, they are small only in the size of their population. Matches against England take on additional significance due to the colonial past.
With the ball being released from over 9' off the ground, the extra bounce was and still is a big problem.......but the bigger problem is reading the length of the ball.
A batsman has 4 choices to make as soon as the ball is released or even before then.
1) If the ball is pitched up you move toward the ball and play off your front foot.
2) If the ball is short, you play off the back foot.....either transfer all your weight onto the back foot or step back, jump even.
3) Play the ball from your block position.....no forward or backward movement.
4) Pre determine to charge the bowler and skip towards the ball ( charge like a madman ).
If you charge well, you make a normally good length ball into an overpitched ball or even a full toss, but you have less time to actually hit it.
Get it wrong, or the bowler guesses right, and you can lose all your teeth and be eating slop through a straw for months while waiting for the surgeons to remove all the wiring from your broken jaw. lol
The taller the bowler, the later the batsman knows whether to go front foot, back foot or stay still.
The good batsmen move BEFORE they even see the length ( where the ball will pitch ) purely on instinct and experience ( automatic function of sub conscious memory from years of practice ).......but the extra height throws the batsmens radar into melt down.
Even leg spin bowlers use extra ball height to confuse the batsmans radar.
Toss the ball high out the back of the hand, but slower so it isn't over pitched.
The best spin bowlers use the extra ball height and slower pace behind the ball and the extra spin to make the ball drop shorter than the batsman expects.
Wrist spinners ( leg break ) use top spin to make the ball drop on an even shorter length, then spit off the wicket ( bounce higher and FASTER )......like top spin in tennis.
If a fast bowler gets top spin on a quick accurate ball.....that is deadly.
the other problem with the ball coming down from 9 feet is if the sight screen isn't tall enough
@@UKJesterVids
So true......unfortunately in Ozz these days sight screens are very rare outside of District Cricket and designated 1st Class grounds.
Even when playing D Grade for a Sub District club in Melbourne i never saw the Turf 1 team play with a sight screen.
The fastest ball i ever faced came out of a red tiled roof.......the pitch was an almost white concrete ( dirty light grey ) but i never saw anything.......my eyes searching for it, thinking has he released it, when i felt it hit high on my bat, near the splice. lol
the wristband were so the batsman could not determine the white ball
The Dean Jones story got a bit blown out of proportion. He was one of my favourite players growing up but wsas never really that secure in his place in the team so there's a lot more to this than described here. RIP Deano.
Zach I've told you before, it's our convict streak. Dave Warner "from the suburbs" a Perth pub band from the late 70's wrote a song called "Convict Streak", the song line went "maybe it's because of my convict streak, that I want to fight everyone that I meet". 😉
lol you definitely have and I have forgotten.
The West Indies dominated cricket for 15 yrs with Ambrose, Walsh, Marshall, Holding, Roberts etc. all bowling at speed of 90+ miles PH. A cricket pitch length in 22 yrs so just imagine receiving balls bowled at that pace.
I think you guys should do these reviews with a guest everytime you do cricket reviews and they can answer some of the questions you might have
The reason why Ambrose had more wickets against Aust & Eng was that he played more matches against them. At that time they were the dominent teams. Australia no longer tours the West Indies. Back then it was a 5 test match series between Aust & W. I. The last time the two nations met was only two tests.
You guys should see the catch(CWC 2007) of Dwayne Leverock , from Bermuda.
react to the GREAT WEST INDIES TEAM. The West Indies were so good they played the world team. They had the best batsmen and best bowlers all on one team. The rules of bowling were changed because of they had the most dangerous bowlers.
Curtly said that whenever he took a wicket his Mama would go out onto her balcony and ring a special bell.
Sir Curtly Ambrose is the Best Fast Bowler of the 1990s Decade.
14:22 always the Aussies (sand paper incident reference)
anyone else think these 2 need to get the board game (if you can call it that) and have a battle of "Test Match" lol
Hi guys, you have to make a few comments about a young guy called Sam Konstas who made his cricketing debut this morning, at the elite level.
Ambrose and Bhoomrah's delivery action is almost identical.
Try checking out the king of swing and the fast bowler with the record number of test wickets Jimmy Anderson.
Issue with the wrist bands was that they were the same colour as the ball
Saw him at the WACA as a kid.
@realfansports react to modern day legend Dale Steyn
As an Englishman I watched sir curtley destroy england so many times, I idolized him as a young man learning to bowl myself, by fat the greatest bowler I've seen, warney took more wickets but I'd choose curtley over Shane warne any day ... He wasn't that bad with the bat neither ....
You should watch the 7/1 by Ambrose against Australia
If u ask AI to make a perfect fast bowler it would be him and Dale steyn
The Courtley Express known in my house
VERY observant point by NP about the times they were in. Y'all should watch "Fire in Babylon" ASAP, it's on YT and free I guess.
Yeah NonP is good at picking up those things! We are planning to do a watch a long for the fire of Babylon on our discord at some point next year! Definitely don’t miss out on joining us for it!
Check out brian lara world record holder
React to stories told by legends like Wasim akram etc
React to once plzz dale steyn
Please react to "great Sunil Gavaskar
Ahoy mate's, another great reaction to one of the best bowlers of his time, imagine standing out there receiving and trying to make a shot, top class right there, three cheers to you ooo thanks
Pls react to AB De Villiers
Windes ❌ West Indies ✅
Ambrose = 6'7"
All caribbeans are above 6.5
