Malcolm Marshall

One of the most fearsome and complete fast bowlers to have ever played the game, Malcolm Marshall tasted a good amount of success in subcontinental conditions, picking up 71 wickets in 19 Tests at an average of 23.05.

Marshall’s best performance in Asia came in 1983 in Kolkata when he took 6 for 37 against India, helping his side win the game by an innings and 46 runs. In the same series, he also took 5 for 72 in Chennai in the same match that saw Sunil Gavaskar’s epic 236.

Marshall also played a key role in the West Indies's innings and 10 runs win over Pakistan in 1986, picking up match figures of 6 for 47 that helped skittle out the Men in Green for paltry totals in both innings in Lahore.

In a career that spanned 13 years, he took 376 wickets in 81 Tests at an average of 20.94.
