5 fierce bowling spells that tormented batsmen

#2 Curtly Ambrose 7/1 against Australia

A magical spell from Curtly Ambrose in every sense. Taking 7 wickets for 1 run is practically unheard of. This was the fifth Test of the series between Australia and West Indies in 1992-92. It was supposed to be a decider but turned out to be a blunder for the Australians. Ambrose took seven wickets for just one run in 32 balls, completely wrecking the whole batting line-up of the Aussies.

The match took place at Perth, which has been labelled by many as one of the fastest pitches in the world. So the tall and lethal bowler received some assistance to pull off a vintage bowling performance.

His devastating spell had pin-point accuracy and incredible pace. It seemed that the Australians had no clue how to bat against meteors coming at them from that height and swing. Mark Waugh, David Boon, Merv Hughes, Damien Martyn, no one could play him as West Indies went on to easily win the match and secure the series.
