Timothy Raymond Ambrose (born 1 December 1982) is an Australian born English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper. Having played with Sussex since 2000, he now plays for Warwickshire. His first cricketing performances came courtesy of the Second XI Championship in 2000, when he played two games in the season. He soon established himself in the first-class team, having helped Sussex out of the Second Division and helping them stay in the First Division ever since. Since 2003, Ambrose has played Twenty20 cricket. Ambrose transferred to Warwickshire in 2006. His highest first-class score, achieved in May 2007, was an innings of 251 not out, against Worcestershire. On 13 June 2007, Ambrose began his first game for the England Lions. Whilst only making four with the bat, Ambrose kept well and took numerous catches. David Lloyd has called Ambrose, "The most attacking keeper-batsman in county cricket at the moment". In January 2008, Ambrose was selected for both the One-Day International and Test squads for the England tour of New Zealand.[1]
