Former West Indies fast bowler Curtly Ambrose was 6ft 7 and used to bowl thunderbolts.<\/h3>\n

So most batsmen tried not to provoke him. But not Steve Waugh.<\/p>\n

The pair faced off in a famous moment during a test match in Trinidad in 1995. In then end, then Windies captain Richie Richardson had to lead his lanky paceman away from the confrontation.<\/p>\n

Waugh has previously said that it was asking Ambrose \u201cwhat the f—\u201c he was looking at that triggered the incident.<\/p>\n

But now in his autobiography, Curtly Ambrose \u2013 Time to Talk<\/em>, Ambrose says that wasn\u2019t exactly the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cI approached Steve Waugh and asked him if he\u2019d sworn at me. That\u2019s when he snapped back, \u2018I can say what I want to say\u2019, which was as good as admitting he\u2019d sworn at me,\u201d Ambrose says.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was when I ripped into him and let him have it: \u2018Man, don\u2019t you effing swear at me again.\u2019 And I don\u2019t swear a lot so for me to use expletives it was clear that my anger was at boiling point.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost it. If he had said nothing to what I had asked him, or even told me he didn\u2019t swear, it would have ended right there, but when he came back at me again with all guns blazing, there was no holding back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relive the moment here:<\/strong><\/p>\n
