Sir Curtly Ambrose is one of the most famous cricket players of all
time. He is also notorious for his silence. Now, for the first
time, Curtly will tell his story. One of the leading - and most
lethal - fast bowlers of all time, Curtly Ambrose played 98 Tests
and 176 One Day Internationals for the West Indies, and for much of
his career topped the ICC player rankings. He was an integral part
of the iconic West Indies teams of the late 1980s and early 1990s
whilst also bearing witness to their decline throughout the 1990s
and beyond. A formidable sportsman, Curtly has unique insight into
the extreme highs and debilitating lows of international cricket.
But during his career Curtly Ambrose was notorious for his silence.
He rarely spoke to the media and, if he did, it was usually to
rebuff an interview, which earned him the infamous reputation of
'Curtly talks to no one!'. In this, his autobiography, Curtly will
tell the story of his life with the West Indies team for the very
first time. From his colourful upbringing in Antigua, through to
the turbulent politics of both nation and dressing room, the book
takes you behind the scenes to give a fascinating insight into the
career of an iconic sportsman. With his customary honesty, Curtly
will discuss his relationship with both the game and his teammates
and competitors, and will talk in depth about key moments in his
career, including his extraordinary spell against Australia in
1992, taking 7-1. From the culture of West Indian cricket to
experiencing post-Apartheid cricket in South Africa, as well as
touching on his relationship with cricket mogul and notorious
financier Allen Stanford, the book will speak to fans of works such
as C.L.R. James's Beyond a Boundary, as well as fans of cricket and
sports biography. It also includes forewords from legendary cricket
commentatory Richie Benaud and Steve Waugh.
