GALLE – West Indies bowling consultant Sir Curtly Ambrose is advising new captain Jason Holder not to burden his seam attack with long spells if he wants to ensure their effectiveness in the two-Test series starting here tomorrow.
The legendary fast bowler said that with sweltering heat expected, allowing the pace attack adequate rest would prove crucial in getting the most out of them when it counted most.
Since arriving in the south Asian nation, the Windies have been confronted with stifling heat, with temperatures soaring into the mid-30s Celsius coupled with high humidity.
“In these conditions it’s been very, very hot, and it is going to be important that the fast bowlers bowl shorter spells,” said Sir Curtly, who took 405 wickets in 98 Tests. (CMC)
