The book characterises Ambrose 98-Test career for the West Indies,
between 1988 and 2000. The title is a play on the beanpole speedster’s
motto during his career that "Curtly talks to no man".
Curtly Ambrose took a career 405 wickets, the second most by a West Indian, and is
number 11 on the all-time list. Fellow West Indian Courtney Walsh ended
with 519 wickets. Apart from his 405 Test wickets, he had another 225 in 176 One-Day Internationals.
The books has two forewords, one is written by Steve Waugh, the
legendary Australia captain, who had many bruising battles with Sir
Curtly. The other is penned by and Richie Benaud, the former Australia
captain and iconic commentator who recently died.
