I think it's probably just a troll account.

He’s a stain on the reputation of all fast bowlers.

Mastery is about mastering your discipline.
Marshall mastered all the dimensions of fast bowling, from inswing, outswing, cutters, bouncers, etc. McGrath was similar as far as seam.
Tendulkar mastered all the dimensions of technical batting to a level nobody has IMO.
On top of that, those guys added a mental dimension to their game, planning and reading their opponents. That made they the absolute masters.
Ambrose? He had a particular skill of accurate corridor bowling which combined with his height and pace gave him a considerable advantage. But at no point did he really seek to add to his skillset, so his mastery was limited in range, nor combine it with mental outthinking of his opponents. Hence a lesser master and why IMO he became predictable and manageable with age.

I feel Ambrose would have been best suited for T20 and been a multi-millionaire if he played today.
Curtly Ambrose was literally impossible to score runs against in both tests and one day internationals and even at the end of his career he was so economical.

Garner moreso. And not even just for his batting.

Imagine Garner in the IPL, bowling and batting out the death overs. What a dream

Garner could bosh a six.

Ambrose pre injury in one day cricket was taking 1.5WPM and was very economical.
Ambrose post injury in one day cricket compensated for his lack of wicket taking abilities to became the most difficult bowler to score runs against.

Garner.
Ambrose.
Pollock.
Bumrah.

The most economical bowlers of each generation.

From Pollock’s debut to McGrath’s retirement
Shaun Pollock’s slightly more economical

You literally had the next post to that post and were one of the first to call him on the "Garner for batting" point ......

I spread the meme, but I don't think I would have even noticed that AA's point was that if subs hadn't made his post bolding it in the quote.
