HOBART – Fast bowling legend Sir Curtly Ambrose is seeking to fire up underdogs West Indies who face top-ranked Australia in the first of three Test matches from 7:30 p.m. today (Eastern Caribbean time).
Sir Curtly, the bowling consultant, is insisting that the West Indies have the manpower to challenge the home side in the three-match rubber following their humiliating ten-wicket loss to an inexperienced Cricket Australia XI.
Australia defeated West Indies two-nil in their last series played in the Caribbean earlier this year.
“Even though we lost 2-0, there were moments or periods when we had them on the back foot and had their backs against the wall. And we never really finished them off,” recalled Sir Curtly. (CMC)
