    Ambrose demolishes England

    By Will 4 months ago, 5 Comments »

    14 years ago to this day, any lingering doubts or reservations I had that cricket had taken me under its spell were emphatically removed. England needed 194 to beat West Indies in the third Test at Port-of-Spain, and in came Curtly Ambrose, bounding up to the crease, arms pumping, gold chains swinging - with a menacing, almost demonic look in his eyes. 19.1 overs later, England were bowled out for 46 and my passion for the game was confirmed, signed, sealed and dated. Even now, if I catch a glimpse of that spell in Trinidad, I am fairly awestruck.

    Bizarrely, I’ve just remembered it’s my grandmother’s birthday too. She’d have been 108!
