#5 Curtly Ambrose (West Indies)
In the 90s, West Indies' enigmatic pace legend Curtly Ambrose produced some fiery spells to clean up the best of batting line-ups. The gentle giant had the ability to seam the ball from a nagging length and troubled the best batsman with his steep bounce.
Ambrose partnered brilliantly with Courtney Walsh to become the strike force of the Windies fearsome pace attack. Ambrose’s signature wicket-taking celebrations, which involved raising his hands up in the air, was one of the most cherished moments for cricket fans during that era.
