Ambrose will face England once more and then wave goodbye

St John’s, May 30: Nasser Hussain and his England side may be wondering if he could not time it any sooner, but Curtly Ambrose has decided he will face the old enemy one more time this summer and then call it quits.

“I have thought about it long and hard. I think a man has got to know his limitations and I think it is time for me to leave. I thought about it long and hard and I have made my decision so I will stick by it.”

In 29 Tests against England, Ambrose has taken a remarkable 147 wickets at 18.80 apiece, including a career-best eight for 45 at Bridgetown in 1990, and relishes one final go at the English.
