(Curtly is pictured above celebrating after taking yet another English wicket! It came during his tremendous spell of 14.2-6-30-4 in the 2nd Test at Lord's in the summer of 2000 and helped the West Indies skittle out England for 134 in reply to their 267. That put the West Indians in firm control of the game but then, amazingly, they capitulated to just 54 all out in their 2nd innings with only Ridley Jacobs reaching double figures. Even by his standards Ambrose's figures second time round were remarkably miserly - his 22 overs returning 1-22 with half of those maidens. Curtly's old sidekick Courtney Walsh grabbed 6 wickets to set up a nailbiting finale but England held their nerve to clinch a thrilling 2 wicket victory.)
