Sir Curtly Urges Disciplined Bowling Against India At ICC Cricket World Cup

Thu, Mar 5, '15

West Indies fast bowling icon, Sir Curtly Ambrose, has urged discipline from his pace attack when they face reigning World champions India on what is expected to be a lively pitch, beginning at 1:30 a.m. (Jamaica time).

Sir Curtly, the Windies bowling coach, said it was important the Caribbean side's seamers found the right lengths and resisted the temptation to bowl overly short at the Indian batsmen on the encouraging WACA strip.

"The pitches here in Perth are usually bouncy and supportive of fast bowling. However, the mistake I think most bowlers make is that they pitch the ball a bit too short because of the extra bounce," Sir Curtly told media yesterday.
