KINGSTOWN, April 5: Two Young West Indian pace bowlers took advantage of the absence of Curtly Ambrose to skittle out England for 149 in 48.5 overs in the fourth one-day international today.
England, 2-1 down in the five-match series, appeared to be shocked by the life Nixon McLean and Mervyn Dillon obtained from the pitch and the first four wickets fell for 33.
Ambrose decided not to play after a fitness test on the back injury that has troubled him for a week.
