Walsh & Ambrose: Greatest Fast Bowlers, Lara & West Indies Future! | Stick to Cricket EP 52

Stick to Cricket returns as Michael Vaughan, Phil Tufnell, Sir Alastair Cook and David "Bumble" Lloyd are joined by two of the greatest fast bowlers in cricket history, Courtney Walsh and Sir Curtly Ambrose - Brought to you by Betfair.

The pair look back on their legendary careers, from terrorising batters around the world to bowling at Brian Lara in the nets, while sharing brilliant stories from one of the greatest eras in Test cricket. They also reveal who the best batter they ever faced was, name the greatest West Indies fast bowler of all time and explain why opening the batting was the toughest job in the game.

The conversation then turns to modern cricket, with Walsh and Ambrose giving their honest thoughts on workload management, resting players and how the role of the fast bowler has changed.

There is also a fascinating discussion on the state of West Indies cricket, with the pair explaining why the region has fallen behind, why young players are turning to T20 cricket and what must change if the West Indies are to become a force once again.

Elsewhere, Walsh and Ambrose name the greatest players they played with, pick their ultimate combined XI, share hilarious dressing room stories, reveal how one of them lost £40,000 through a sponsorship bonus and tell the unforgettable story of the bell Curtly's mum rang every time he took a wicket.
