Biography Of Malcolm Marshall- The Phenomenal Pacer Of West Indies
Malcolm Denzil Marshall was a West Indian cricketer. Primarily a fast bowler, Marshall is regarded as one of the finest and fastest pacemen ever to have played Test cricket. Marshall was one of the stars of the West Indies team which dominated international cricket for more than a decade from the mid-1970s. He achieved his bowling success despite being, by the standards of other fast bowlers, a short man – he stood at 5 feet 11 inches.
He generated fearsome pace from his bowling action, with a dangerous bouncer. Marshall was also a very dangerous Middle-order batsman with ten Test fifties and seven first-class centuries. Marshall had colon cancer and breathed his last on 4th November, 1999.
