	ARTICLE
		Curtly Ambrose who had already announced his retirement from world cricket represented that genre in which fast bowling was an art.
		The facial reactions of Ambrose after being hit by a batsman were never meant to create any sort of pressure on the batsman, but it gave vent to his seething anger.
		Ambrose said no matter whether he is bowling well or not, he is holding his own and there has to come a time when one has to leave and he is doing just that.

	BBC News \| TALKING POINT \| Is Ambrose West Indies' greatest bowler?
		Ambrose is without doubt a great fast bowler - his accuracy, economy and clear commitment to excellence testify to that, but to call him the greatest of them all would certainly be a hasty, blinkered view.
		Curtly may not haven taken the most wickets, nor played the most matches, but he was as fearsome a bowler as "Big Bird" Garner or Courtney Walsh.
		Curtly Ambrose is one of the greatest West Indian cricketers.

	Cricinfo - Curtly Ambrose: He will be sorely missed!!
		Ambrose decimated the English batting on the penultimate evening for 46, a spell that could still be giving nightmares to those English players still in the team.
		Curtly Ambrose is easily one of the best ever, his production and contributions for the West Indies cricket team are great.
		Curtly will have that final hoorah, that final fling, but, I predict, having a substantial hand in the West Indies winning this series by the convincing 3-1; remember that you heard it from me here first; despite the early less than impressive showing.

	CNNSI.com - Inside Game - Jason Dasey - CNNSI.com's Jason Dasey: West Indies will miss Ambrose - Tuesday September ...
		Ambrose was a genuine express bowler, but also had wonderful accuracy and movement off the seam that unnerved some of the best batsmen in the world.
		Ambrose was, of course, a specialist right-arm fast bowler, but also provided plenty of entertainment as a left-handed batsman, in his unorthodox style.
		When Curtly came on the scene, he was no more than a raw youngster, just one of more than half a dozen long-limbed fast-bowlers that the Windies seemed to shuffle in and out of their lineup.

		Ambrose is a great bowler in Tests, he is not far behind in limited overs international, where he is as mean as they come.
		Ambrose may be in the 30's, but age hasn't diminished his desire to be miserly with runs; he just hates bowling bad balls.

	Caribbean Net News: How quickly we forget!
		Ambrose, speaking on a radio programme recently, argued that the West Indies players had no basis for demanding more money when they have been failing to produce.
		It would appear Ambrose was not impressed by the creditable draw that West Indies earned with Pakistan in the midst of the confusion fuelled by the new sponsorship contract.
		Ambrose may argue that the players at that time were more worthy of financial rewards having just beaten England at home but we must not forget that prior to the current nonsense that started before the VB series in Australia, West Indies had just completed its most celebrated success in a quarter of a century.

		Curtly Ambrose could have been purpose-built to replace Joel Garner in the West Indies side: 6ft 7in and fast, making unplayable balls lift from a good length he swept through opposition Test sides as quickly as his regular colleagues, Walsh, Marshall and Patterson would allow.
		Ambrose made his Test debut against Pakistan in 1988 and toured England that year, taking 4-53 in his first Test.
		There was Barbados in 1989-90, when Jack Russell was saving the match and the series for England, but in the last minutes of the match Ambrose swept him and the rest of the batting aside with the new ball to end up with 8-45.

		Ambrose, criticised in the Caribbean before the match for a perceived waning of pace and passion, had dismissed Taylor, David Boon and Mark Waugh.
		Amid this heady atmosphere, Ambrose's frustration with Waugh's defiance continued to build, as did the number of short balls thudding into the batsman's body, all of them followed by glares from the bowler which were reciprocated by steely stares from the batsman.
		Ambrose is a great bowler and hugely respected by us.

		Win or lose the last test at the Surrey Oval, Ambrose and Walsh should exist cricket, because by their presence, they will continue to allow a fallacy to be propagated by those in authority.
		If both Ambrose and Walsh retire immediately, then a lot of stinging truths would be brought to the front of West Indies cricket instead of remaining on the backburner.
		Because in not trusting any of the promising fast bowlers with the new ball for long spells, they have all indirectly contributed to the stuttering of their growth, and now the resultant effect is that they have all become stagnated.

		At 36, Ambrose has decided to call it a day; the ongoing series against England will be his last.
		There was utter disbelief last May when Ambrose announced that he would retire at the end of the series in England.

		Ambrose took a deserved rest after keeping England's top pair fully occupied in a searching opening spell of 10-5-9-0, and Walsh was given a try at the Pavilion End.

		Stewart, who had been forced to grin weakly through his grill in an acknowledgement that Ambrose had him in a tangle, was caught behind from a reflex stroke to give Walsh his second wicket and Cork was in all kinds of bother as the ball swung past his outside edge or reared into his chest.
		Skipper Jimmy Adams (3) and Curtly Ambrose (0) were at the crease.

		Curtly was a bit annoyed and was just trying to stare him down to try to get the better of him.
