adminHOBART. — Curtly Ambrose hit back at the West Indies critics yesterday with a few verbal bouncers of his own, saying they will look silly when the team knock over Australia in this week’s opening Test cricket in Hobart.
The under-performing Windies have been written off since arriving Down Under and more so after they were humiliated by a rookie Cricket Australia XI by 10 wickets in their only warm-up game leading into the three-Test series.
Most pundits are expecting Steve Smith’s Australians to roll the West Indies in double-quick time after coming off a hard-fought 2-0 Test home series win over New Zealand.
Some commentators and ex-cricketers have even predicted the Caribbean tourists will struggle to take the match at Bellerive Oval, starting tomorrow, past three days. — AFP.
