5 longest overs bowled in cricket history

#3 Curtly Ambrose - 15 balls

Curtly Ambrose repeatedly over-stepped and ended up bowling 15 deliveries in the over

Curtly Ambrose's exploits in Australia are the stuff of legends. Time and again, he dismantled the Australian lineup by extracting extra bounce from the hard pitches down under. The WACA was his favourite hunting ground in the country. However, the same venue also saw him bowl one of the worst overs of his eventful career.

During the 1997 Perth Test, Ambrose delivered the longest over in Test cricket. Repeatedly over-stepping his mark, the West Indies pacer conceded as many as nine no-balls to send down a cumbersome 15-ball over. He went on to bowl six more no-balls in his very next over and was promptly removed from the attack by fellow fast bowler and skipper Courtney Walsh. The visitors eventually sealed a consolation victory by ten wickets.
