Antigua, May 11 : West Indies glory days of the past may never come back, said legendary former fast bowler Curtly Ambrose. Ambrose said that the West Indies may be able to be competitive and climb up the International Cricket Council s (ICC) rankings again but the team may never be able to dominate world cricket the way they did during his playing days. When we were the best team in the world, West Indians all over the globe could walk and boast about how good we were because we were the best, so it s going to be difficult to see those glory days again. Yes, we can be competitive and climb up the ICC rankings and be a force to be reckoned with again, but those glory days, I don t think we will see them again, said Ambrose on the Talk Sports Live in Antigua.

Fast bowling icon Sir Curtly Ambrose believes it will be difficult for the West Indies to unearth players with similar talents to those from the team’s glory days of the 70s, 80’s and early 90s because the current crop of players have not grasped what cricket means to the people from the region.
The outspoken 57-year-old Ambrose, who took 405 Test wickets in 98 Tests between 1988 and 2000, was speaking on Talk Sports Live with Michael Bascombe in Antigua on Saturday when he made his stunning declaration.
“This is no disrespect to the players we have now because we have a couple of guys who have some quality in them and can become grea,t but what we have to understand is that I don’t think we will ever see those great, exceptional glory days again,” said the towering Antiguan, who famously took seven wickets for one run in a devastating spell against Australia in Perth in 1993.
THE 30MPH speed limit along part of the A35 which was introduced as a temporary measure in a bid to reduce traffic pollution is set to be made permanent. The speed limit on Chideock Hill was temporarily changed from 40ph to 30mph for an initial 18-month trial period trial period in September 2019. The 30mph has been in place from Ruins Lane through to Muddyford Lane. The change was implemented by Highways England as part of an initiative to improve air quality on and alongside the road network and has now been made permanent. Chideock Hill was found to have the worst air pollution in the England in a study carried out by Friends of the Earth last year.
