Curtly Ambrose

Last updated

  1. The first Test was abandoned owing to dangerous playing conditions—the pitch was judged unfit for cricket. [103]
  2. A journalist had asked Viv Richards about Ambrose, who was walking past. Interrupting the conversation, Ambrose said "If you want to know about Curtly, you ask Curtly". When the journalist complied, Ambrose responded "Curtly talks to no-one". [158]
