Ambrose 'very disappointed' at losing WI consultancy job
Re: Ambrose fired by Coach Phil ? - zacaroni - 05-16-2016
Was he a good coach?
Re: Ambrose fired by Coach Phil ? - ketchim - 05-16-2016
In west indian terms ? I'd say he was.
Roach, Taylor Fidel and Tino : IMO are NOT coachable
and of course Curtly was merely a "Consultant"
and I think of him highly with Guyana CPL Warriors.

Curtly Ambrose:

'I spoke to Phil Simmons, and he told me that he wanted someone who is more technical
to work with the fast bowlers' [/size].

"So, I said to him well, if you knew I was doing a poor job, then you should have told me.
He said no, I did a fantastic job, because I brought a high level of discipline to the team,
and I have motivated the guys quite a bit....................

opiss is ready
Re: Ambrose fired by Coach Phil ? - zacaroni - 05-16-2016
I don't know if he was but I suspect he was not. I think I understand what Phil means when he said he wanted someone more technical.
I don't think Ambrose really studied the mechanics of fast bowling. He was just a gifted bowler who never needed any coaching. It is difficult for great players generally to succeed in coaching
Re: Ambrose fired by Coach Phil ? - ketchim - 05-16-2016
Well I dont know what the heck he means.
I think bringing discipline and motivation to a bunch of 3 day Losers :
is waaayyyyy more Technical :
than coaching a Fast bowler to deliver in the Corridor of Uncertainty ...
Here , show 'em where to deliver with Colour Codes ;D
