5 Former cricketers who would have been excellent IPL Stars

#4 Curtly Ambrose

Curtly Ambrose would have always troubled the batters with a back of the length fast delivery

Despite the dominance of spinners in the shortest format, the onus has always been on the pacers to bowl the most difficult overs.

In such a case, someone like Curtly Ambrose would have been a lethal player to have in the team.

A technically perfect fast bowler, with a high arm action and huge stature, it would have been difficult for batsmen to take him on during the field restriction overs.

He would have always troubled the batters with a back of the length fast delivery, which would have been tougher to hit straight down the ground.

Moreover, with his height and built, he would have created movement off the ball in dry pitches as well. Ambrose could have been used in the middle overs at times to break off partnerships, through bouncers as the fielders would be in the deeper areas of the field in that stage of the match.

The former pacer could bowl the yorkers at a high pace and a consistent rate in the death overs, thus making him a complete package from a fast bowler’s perspective. Ambrose had an economy rate of 3.48 in ODIs, and he would definitely have been an asset for any team in T20 cricket.
