5 non-subcontinent pacers who excelled in the subcontinent

#4 Malcolm Marshall

A part of the deadly pace quartet of West Indies, Marshall has 71 wickets in Asia

An integral part of the deadly West Indies pace quartet in the 70s and 80s, Malcolm Marshall wrecked havoc even in Asian conditions. From 19 games in the period of 1978-90, Marshall picked 71 wickets at an average of 23.05, with three 5-wicket hauls to his name.

Out of the 19 games that Marshall was part of, West Indies won six. And Marshall picked 36 wickets in those matches at an astounding average of 11.72.

Two of his three 5-wicket hauls came in winning causes.

#3 Glenn McGrath

Glenn McGrath with 72 wickets in Asia has the third most wickets by a non-Asian pacer

One of the greatest pacers of all time and the second highest wicket-taking fast bowler in the history of Test cricket, Glenn McGrath was a vital cog in the wheel of the invincible Australian side in the late 90s and early 2000s.

In the period 1994-2004, McGrath played 19 games in Asia, picking 72 wickets at an average of 23.02. His solitary 5-wicket haul came in a losing cause.

Australia won seven of the 19 games that McGrath was a part of, in which the legendary pacer picked 34 wickets at an average of 14.79.
