About Malcolm Marshall
- Malcolm Denzil Marshall (18 April 1958 – 4 November 1999) was a Barbadian cricketer.
- Primarily a fast bowler, Marshall is regarded as one of the greatest and finest pacemen ever to have played Test cricket.
- He is often acknowledged as the greatest West Indian fast bowler of all time, and certainly one of the most complete fast bowlers the cricketing world ever saw.
- His Test bowling average of 20.94 is the best of anyone who has taken 200 or more wickets.
- He achieved his bowling success despite being, by the standards of other fast bowlers, a short man – he stood at 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m), while most of the great quicks have been well above 6 ft (1.8 m) and many great West Indian fast bowlers, such as Joel Garner, Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh, were 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) or above.
- He generated fearsome pace from his bowling action, with a dangerous bouncer.
- Marshall was also a very dangerous lower middle-order batsman with ten Test fifties and seven first-class centuries. In 2009, Marshall was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
- To mark 150 years of the Cricketers' Almanack, Wisden named him in an all-time Test World XI.
