Curtly AmbroseGreat moments in West Indies cricket by Reza Abasali

 

“I came across other examples of the devastation he could wreak. Early in my career, he took seven wickets for one run in an incredible spell at Perth in the 1992-93 series. And these were good wickets including tough guys such as Allan Border and David Boon. I played another 137 test matches after that but never encountered an instance of a bowler doing so much damage in such a short space of time.”

 

Australia’s spin legend Shane Warne in his 2008 book Shane Warne’s Century – My Top 100 Test Cricketers in which he ranked Curtly Ambrose number three on his list.

 

“Miserly accurate, as unforgiving and as devastating as a hurricane.” England’s greatest all-rounder, Ian Botham in his 2002 book Botham’s Century - My 100 Great Cricketing Characters.

Clive LloydGreat moments in West Indies cricket by Reza Abasali

 

“I can remember only one innings to compare with this one. It was played by the late Stanley McCabe when he made 235 at Trent Bridge in my first test match against Australia in 1938. Sir Donald Bradman beckoned all his players onto the balcony and said: ”I don’t want you to miss this knock. You may never see the like again.” - Denis Compton – English batting legend on Clive Lloyd’s scintillating 102

 

The first ever World Cup cricket tournament was hosted by England in the summer of 1975. The event was sponsored by Prudential Assurance Ltd to the tune of 100,000 pounds.

Media Release: Tony Cozier’s Reckless Attack

Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & Tobago – 16th August, 2010: Mr. Tony Cozier's article of Sunday August 15th 2010, gives WIPA cause, once again, to set the record straight.

Mr. Cozier has, not for the first time, written an article which does a disservice to his readers.  Journalists have a duty to present a balanced point- of view, formed by seeking the perspective of the parties involved in an issue.  Had Mr. Cozier done so he would have avoided the inaccuracies, erroneous assertions and conclusions which plague his article. This is indeed unfortunate for someone who is an experienced cricket commentator and purportedly the doyen of cricket scribes in the region.
