 He was more effective in the Test series, and according to Tony Cozier in "Wisden", "was always captable of a spell of incisive, quality bowling".But he was affected by injury throughout the six-match series; he withdrew injured from the third Test having bowled fewer than eight overs and missed the fifth Test completely.Other bowlers in the team overshadowed Ambrose, and it was not until the final Test that he reached his most effective form in taking five for 96 in the first innings and seven wickets in the match.
