#2. Malcolm Marshall, 7/22 vs England, 30 June 1988

Malcolm Marshall bowling

The 1100th Test cricket match in history was held at Old Trafford and the hosts faced in-form Windies. An inspired performance from Courtney Walsh, who scalped four wickets, resulted in the English crumbling for just 135. In return the Windies declared at 384 for 7, putting the English to bat again.

If Walsh's game was inspiring, one would be short of words to describe what followed. Malcolm Marshall literally ran through the English batting setup, prising 7 wickets as nine of eleven Englishmen scored less than 10. The innings eventually folded at 93, as Marshall's figures read 15.4 - 5 - 22 - 7. The Windies won the game by an innings and 156 runs.
