Cricketics Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Most batsmen struggle against some bowlers in their career and most bowlers struggle to get wicket or bowl well to certain bats. Unless one is a Robot which guys like Tendulkar, Mcgrath, Ambrose weren't. Ambrose was at his peak, so any bowler at his peak not able to trouble any top batsman is surely hard to hear. So it not too shocking to hear Tendulkar troubled by Ambrose. We all saw it those who watched some games involving them. Link to comment
Jimmy Cliff Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Fun fact: Ambrose never dismissed Tendulkar in Tests . Which sucks btw as ATGs like SRT and Ambrose should've played a lot more against each other. Link to comment
Gollum Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Federer sometimes feels uncomfortable against Nadal, Anand against Carlsen, Lin Dan against Lee Chong Wei......happens when 2 ATGs face each other and one of them is in peak mode, dunno why we need a thread for such a stupid topic. raki05 1 Link to comment
SUMO Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Nothing wrong in that. Batsman do share the burden with their partner. Priority is to not lose wicket. He prefered facing donald than cronje. He sheilded his team from rampaging steyn on 2010 tour. Its a team sport afterall. Cricketics, Gollum and raki05 3 Link to comment
rkt.india Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 i watched 1996 WC game. We were chasing a modest total. All batsmen struggled but Tendulkar was the most comfortable facing Ambrose. sergio04 1 Link to comment

Temujin Khaghan Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I wish little god Rohit faced Ambrose and Walsh on a Perth like wicket. Ambrose would have torn his white shirt, tied it to a stump and waved it at Rohit. Total submission. velu, CG and adi B 1 2 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Sidhu was named strokeless wonder when he first faced 4 pronged WI pacers in a tour game in 1983 series. Sidhu had no issue with pace. His problem was with Swing. Angus Fraser took him out like 5 times in a row so much so Sidhu canceled the tour and left if I remember right. Link to comment

zen Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) In Tests, Ambrose esp when in rhythm is simply superb .... In a situation where the opposition needs 50-60 runs with 5-6 wkts in hand, Ambrose is one bowlers who can turn the game for the bowling side Edited August 21, 2020 by zen Link to comment

Either way, telling speed from video is stupid and i have explained that many, many times but i guess optical illusions are real to most people for a reason - trust their eye over science.

maniac Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Ambrose even in prime was never a 145-150k bowler but even at 135-140 with his height and bounce he generated could be lethal...same with Walsh. Rightarmfast 1 Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I remember a tour to England when Lara was worse against the short ball then raina . Harmisson all series has him jumping around like cat on hot tin roof **** happens Gollum, Rightarmfast, Stan AF and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Ambrose for me is superior version of McGrath . Just that bit quicker and nastier but all height and accuracy traits of McGrath but Marshall was king superior . Poetry in motion . Best run up in cricket history , floating in water Link to comment
