I was so scared of Malcolm Marshall. Accuracy and swing at devastating pace. Seemed to have none of the bombastic ego of other great cricketers, making him all the greater. A master of his craft and a complete gentleman. I honour you, great West Indian. You, the Don and Shane Warne are the first three on my “all time” team sheet. Rest well, you beautiful man. You will never be forgotten in this little corner of Hampshire. And, finally, thank you for showing a lost little boy what it means to be a real man. Rest in peace.
Hello sir, devastating pace is the perfect word.My all time hero MrMalcolm Marshal sir.
Why were you scared?
*Wonderful words to the legend!
Who was more quicker Thompson,Liley or Marshall according to you?
@@sunilpokhrel8904no one can match the Windies bowler speed that time
Roberts, Garner, Holding, Marshal...what a team!!!
😮😮😢😊😢😂❤❤ 💯
They were the elite bowling line up. Imagine seeing off Marshall and then Joel Garner comes on…modern day cricketers don’t know the meaning of stress!
Greenidge, Lara, Headley, Viv, Weekes, Sobers, Walcott, Marshall, Roberts, Holding, Ambrose, Garner, Worrell.
My best 13 test team squad.
@@shooud123Irrelevant to this post.
Best
There is no aggression, no cuss words just sheer talent and sportsmanship. Everyone in awe !!!
Really?
The India tour in 75' to WI was an absolute shame.... misplaced anger the WI bowlers did to the Indian players...after their 5-0 defeat to Australia in the previous tour
On top of seriously injuring 5 batsmen by deliberately bowling unjustified body line length..
Clive Lloyd said and i quote "Indians are incapable of playing pace and are hence whining and that they had no regrets for it"
@@user-jn7bq8wh1ein 1976 Malcolm Marshall was not in the WI team.
@@TheAdventurer1988 ?!
Thanks for the info?
@@user-jn7bq8wh1e If you can't handle the pace get out and be a man don't complain like the Aussies did all those years ago
Exactly
The WI team of that era was something that is hard to explain to youngsters today. I am glad I saw these greats in their heyday. The hallmark of a truly great team, the country, pitch, weather, crowd made no difference. Whether the pitch was a dust bowl or green top made no difference to the WI in those days. In my 40 plus years of watching cricket, I have seen no one make the ball rise consistently from a good length like Marshall and Garner, absolutely unplayable. Like the first one in this video to Chris Broad. I remember the Aussie batsmen really struggling later that year with these climbing deliveries.
💯 percent right.
Lara, greenidge , viv Richards, sur Garfield's sobers curtly Ambrose courtney Walsh, d haynes malcolm marshall, Andy Roberts Clive lloyd
Yet India defeated them twice in the 83 world cup.
@Ayush Uniyal I too play that's why I know d Haynes g greenidge 😜😜😜
Why do you think he was able to make the ball rise when he was only 5 foot 10 ?
GOAT. Dujon says he's the best he's ever kept to. That's good enough for me.
And The Fastest Of Patrick Patterson
Clive Lloyd said that MM was the best bowler he had seen. I agree!! Such a sad death at such a young age!
@@petefrench4198 well if the great clive Lloyd said it, then thats good enough for me. He was captain of the west indies, during an era where no team cud live with them.
One of the greats of all time, gone too soon. Rest in peace!

Wat happened ro him 🙏

Too much Animal Protein probably. Gives you the strength at your younger age, but will also take you back soon!
All time greats, Andy Roberts, Malcom Marshall, Michael Holding and Joel Garner. The West Indies those days. What a team It was!!
They could bat a bit too!
And a few years later Ambrose and Walsh, not to mention their batting strength greatest cricket side of all time
What a great team were the west Indians ..was a delight to watch cricket then.....each team one better than the other....India stunning the stalwarts winning the world cup ...80's bring nostalgic memories
चारों मेरे फैवरेट नम्बर एक गेंदबाज।
@@jeffgallagher9941 Only Marshall could bat
I watched him play for Hampshire for many years. Certainly one of the best bowlers ever. There is a recent interview with Robin Smith on CZcams somewhere, where he says that when he made his test debut for England against WI, he was facing Marshall. As he went out to bat, Marshall told him he would give him a few easy half volleys to help settle his nerves, which he did. Marshall apparently also did the same to Hampshire team mate Paul Terry when he played for England. Not just a great bowler, but a true and proper gentleman.
Not only that, I saw a clip once, where in Dickie Bird once told him to stop bowling short pitched delivery to tailenders, and he acknowledged that and stopped doing so. Really one of a kind he was, a real gentleman.
That era is gone, less money more energy and joy, and pure entertainment.
For my money Malcolm Marshall was the greatest fast bowler of all time. He had speed control accuracy and variety. He was remarkably consistent with his line and length never giving the batsman time to settle or get on top. A batsmans true nightmare 💯
Greater than dale steyn?
@Chirag Sankhala yes smarter cunning not just about speed he could work the batsman out within a few deliveries. He had such control rhythm speed and ability to move the ball both ways and skid the ball through from even a short run up the smartest bowler as well.
@@chiragsankhala5974 Yes. He had it all. Much better career average than Dale (20.9 vs 23.0). He could bowl anywhere. Average in Asia = 23. Average in Australia = 23. [Edit: for reference - not to detract from Dale, who was the standout bowler of his generation - Dale had a career average of 23 overall, an average of 25.4 in Asia (ignoring Bangladesh which flatters figures, I'm afraid) and an average of 28 in Australia. All somewhere between fantastic and excellent. But don't match those Marshall averages by quite a margin...]
Absolutely right, greatest of all time
Totally agree - for my money too.
Been fortunate enough to see him bowling at his peak. Raw pace with swing. Most batsmen even couldn't site the ball.
And great सुनील gavaskar scored heavily against such devastating bowling.
@@vd2592 yes you're absolutely right, legendary bowler Imran Khan many time describe about this, the onliest batsman in Indian cricket team who face the windies fast bawling attack very bravely and smartly.
It's most because of pitches. Pitches in old era used to be deadliest and there were hardly any batsman who could smash them so the bowler could divert from line and length
@@vd2592i think kopil dav was faster that marshall isnt it?/ 😂😂😂
gavaskar left cricket in 83 marshall started test cricket in 79 so not much overlap, plus he averaged12.50 versus marshall in 14 matches
@@vd2592
Marshall is just pure poetry in menacing, speed and motion!!! Slinging THUNDERBOLTS ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡RIP
In those days batsmen were not comfortable against fast bowling. Australians especially stood up against the West Indians and then that was the end of their dominance.
@@muntajibkhan4986 that's only part of the story. What was crucial was the introduction of the limit of one bouncer per over
I was lucky to be born and raised in the WI and was able to see Marshall in action fir both WI and Barbados. He is the greatest I’ve ever seen. Incredible pace. Can swing it both ways and hit more batsmen with his bouncer than any of the other WI quicks. His bouncer would skid on.
I’m a Holding fan by the way.
You said you were born and raised in West Indies environment.. you had seen Marshall bowling..
I am an Indian.. every person has childhood hero.. my childhood hero was Malcolm Marshall.. In the year 1983 when I was only 13 yrs. West Indies came to India to play test and one day series and first time I saw Marshall and his bowling in TV.. He immediately turned my hero..
I was very much fond of cricket and I played local cricket and imitated Marshall to bowl like him..
One question.. at what pace did Marshall bowl ?.. at that time there was no speed measuring system but from a number of videos that I have seen, I guess that in his heyday, Marshall bowled at the speed more than anyone I have seen till date even more than 160 km/hr - highest ever recorded and bowled by Shoaib Akhter of Pakistan.. am I right ?
@@dwaipayanchakraborty3330 You are correct. He would some how get the ball to skid through off the pitch when he bowled it short. That causes the Batsmen all sorts of problems.
He went to England to play club cricket and continued to develop. Using the seam and swinging the ball both ways.
His cricket IQ was through the roof. Which gave him the ability to find a batsman’s weakness and of course, he would have to tools to get him out.
Remember, he had to share the wickets with Holding, Garner, Walsh, Patterson and Ambrose.
Wickets were also falling on the other end, thus making it harder to get 6 for, 7 for, etc.
Malcom Denzil Marshall - Called as Supercat's no 1 hit man in one of the article came in a Sports Magazine at that time.
@@dwaipayanchakraborty3330 correct. Shoaib is still the quickest recorded at that time. Patrick Patterson was the quickest WI player of them all, said WK Jeff Dijon. He would know 😂.
Marshall in his hey day has to be up there with the quickest. Add control, movement and cricket IQ….he was unplayable
@@dwaipayanchakraborty3330 Marshall was 175 plus. Australians will hate it because they want their Thompson and lillee all the time up. Without bowling speed measurement machines then Marshall was lot quicker than Thompson too who was 160km any day.
RIP Marshall! He was a formidable bowler.
You can understand the sheer pace by just looking 🙏
WELL SAID BRO
Yep 💯
You can see just how quick it takes the ball to reach the batsman
Not only fast. But pace with movement. Simply unplayable.
He got both swing and fast really it's tough to play
I can feel his raw pace.... Quite astonishing to see the bounce he used to generate considering his height.... One of the greatest pacer to grace the game...
When you're as quick as Marshall your gonna make the ball bounce He was 5ft 10 not 3ft 10 ???
@@jahno7154 no he is 5ft 11inch
@@soumalyachatterjee6974 yep 5ft 11 although I knew someone who played with him said he looked 5ft 9
@@jahno7154 no he is 5ft 11inch
If Richie Benaud comments how fast he was that will do for me. The ball was swinging at pace too plus the bounce. Marshall had it all
He had batsman figured; pace, skill and intelligence. Marshall had it all. One of the all time greats.
Even his run up is the greatest of all time;)

Great fast bowler Malcolm Marshal. Beautiful action , lethal pace with great bowling skill and knowledge. A complete bowler. Sad that he left us so young. His legacy will live forever. Rest in peace great man rest in peace. Love and respect from Pakistan.
I played against Malcolm in under 17 cricket
In the Caribbean. He was fast and dangerous
Even at that age.
@@sbludba you played Malcolm Marshall under 17 !.. then you are great..
then perhaps you may answer my queries..
before putting my queries to you, I want to mention that I am an Indian and Malcolm Marshall was my Childhood hero..
you said Marshall was dangerous even at that age.. I have heard this many times that he was intimidating bowler and his bouncer used to skid on..
how he made bouncer skid on even from good length..
and at what pace did he bowl ? from a number of videos I have seen it appears that he did bowl at the speed even more than 160 km/hr which is highest ever recorded and bowled by Shoaib Akhter of Pakistan.. am I right ?
Since you played him, you may answer my above queries..
@@dwaipayanchakraborty3330
I am Indian Trinidadian.
Marshall was fast, skiddy and swang the ball
Both ways. Very difficult to bat against when there were no
Helmets, chest pad , thigh pad , elbow guard in those days.
In 1976 there was no technology to
Calculate speed. I am not great, as many who played
In the Caribbean School league cricket never made it further than
1st class cricket in the Caribbean. Lots went on to become
Doctors lawyers and business men and other professionals.
But what I can say about the great. Malcolm was that he was a humble
Guy, never spoke much but executed his game in a fearsome manner.
As an opening Batman, you hardly had time to see the ball. Most of the
Time you could only hear the zwing from the ball and seam as it passed you.
He broke stumps when he hit. One time the bails reached the boundary after
He clean bowled one of our tailenders. No one wanted to face him. Deadly
Accurate and fearsome. I moved on after college to become a businessman.
I followed Malcolm cricketing career until his retirement. Seeing most of the games
Played in the Caribbean by our then awesome team first led by Clive and then Vivian
And Ritchie. Malcolm died young. May God give him heaven.
@@sbludba As what you have told, batsman could not see the ball properly.. I have also heard this before, but this is not said about any bowler till now.. even if you see present video analytically, you will observe as the ball releases from hand of Marshall within a flicker of the eye it reaches the batsman.. then can I conclude, Marshall was fastest among all fast bowlers till now ?.. Another thing, it is said that Marshall gave skidy bouncer.. how on the earth he managed to skid the ball.. this is not said about any other bowler..
I born in 1970.. First time I have seen Marshall on TV in 1983 when in the winter, West Indies came to India to play test and one day series.. every time Marshall started his beautiful run up, a shiver came running down my spine.. it was not a human being running out there, rather a wounded tiger as if running to catch hold of its prey and destroy the same in no time.. yes he was fearsome.. I looked at him on TV with awe and reverence, feeling totally helpless because there was no answer to his fearsome deliveries.. Malcolm Marshall put a tremendous impression on my Childhood mind and he immediately turned my Childhood hero.. even my love for cricket is due to Marshall.. in my fantasy, I tried to bowl like Marshall and imitated his run up in school cricket but it was impossible for me to generate fearsome pace like Marshall.. I, being an Indian, have not genetically strong body because due to genetic factor West Indians have very strong body.. although present day West Indian bowlers can not generate that fearsome pace.. they toil even to bowl at 150 km/hr..
I am a ordinary service holder.. my age is now 50 yrs.. even nowadays in leisure time I open youtube to see Marshall running..
Once in my lifetime, I had a plan to fly to Barbados to meet my childhood idol, but alas, God has carried him to heaven...
I LOVE Marshall..
since you played Marshall I also love you.. since I would not meet my childhood hero ever, at least I would meet or talk with someone who met him and it is YOU..
@@dwaipayanchakraborty3330
Thanks bro, I think Malcolm got it to skid, because he was not tall.
As I remember 5’ 8” and had a low action, but strongly built.
The food eaten in the Caribbean by these guys
In those days was basically fresh vegetables and “blue food”. ie
Anything that comes from under the ground or Root vegetables.
Nowadays the players only eat processed and fast food.
For speed, my view was that Patrick Patterson
On a good day was the fastest of the pack.
My favorite Indian player was Rahul Dravid.
These days Bumrah.
Bro keep safe as the virus shakes India.
The Golden Era of cricket
Ya .golden era of cricket. Marshall. Wonderful fast bowler.
as a Hampshire fan and a cricket fan, i just loved him!
Me too Jules:))
@@julianhodgson1202 and another. I've said on another thread somewhere that I wished we'd named the stand at the Rose Bowl after MM rather than Shane Warne as I identified him as far more of part of Hampshire CC than I do Shane Warne, great as he undoubtedly was.
@@karmannghiaman1041 Absolutely agree:)) I started following Hampshire in the early 70s(my father grew up in Andover) when we possibly had the greatest opening batting partnership in the history of cricket Barry Richards and Gordon Greenidge and then Andy Roberts joined in 1973. I was so sad when he left Hampshire in 1978 but then Malcolm Marshall came along in 1979 and played for Hampshire for 14 whole glorious years! In my opinion he is undoubtedly the greatest player to have ever played for Hampshire which is really saying something😀 and clearly a stand should have been named after him - having a road named after him (Marshall Drive) just doesn’t quite cut it.
@@julianhodgson1961 I'm nearly the same, a few seasons behind you. I just don't compare their contributions to Hampshire and it can only be either it was named because he played at the ground and Malcolm didn't or he was Rod's mate.
I don't want this to sound like I'm denigrating Shane Warne in any way but in terms of contributing to our history, there's no comparison.
Thank you for the video,✌️
Malcolm Marshall is a legend

Correct observation , bro
For me he was the greatest bowler I have seen. Memories ❤️💔
Just love seeing his run up and the ball seems to skid in so quickly. Marshall is easily amongst the GOAT.
Neil foster leaving a ball going over the middle...Wow!!! Haven't seen a better leave
Dude was shitting bricks
The quality is really crisp. And man Malcolm Marshall is class.
IPL looks like child play by seeing this man bowling😂
Bring him to ipl, on indian flat pitches then judge.
When judging two different era batsman we consider all the factors possible like pitch, boundary, bat thickness... Then why not the same for bowlers? Just because it will give present era bowlers edge over past?
@@sheldoncooper3373 Have you seen how many wickets he has in India this man is the greatest fast bowler ever and let him rest in peace
@@theelectriccat171 he specifically mentioned ipl.
On indian pitches in a test match, there were/are many fast bowlers who bowled really well. But when it comes to ipl even bowlers like bumrah, malinga with their yorkar hitting ability go for 24 runs a over sometimes.
Thats all I am saying.
Yeah.. I was doing that...just could not control myself when someone overhyped him by trying to compare two different era.
@@theelectriccat171 since you asked...
36 wickets, with average of 25 in tests
10 wickets with average of 32 in odis ( 8 matches)
In test he did well, but nothing extraordinary. In odis , given the praise he receives, he kind of failed...but cant say, he played 8 matches only.
@@sheldoncooper3373 I get he said Ipl but if you ask any former cricketer they would say that Marshall would have found a way in t20 matches
Malcolm you beauty rest in peace brother my generation grew up seeing bowling greats like Marshall, Garbar, Roberts, Holding, Lillee, Thompson, Mcdormat, Bob Willis, John snow and the list goes on.
1:08 That delivery went past the batter literally in a blink of an eye! The fastest I've ever seen...
Yeah and for a moment I thought that ball was 99mph-100mph not sure but I have seen tomson bowling quicker in this angle itself
I thought the same think. It went under Fowler's bat before he could even move. By time the bat comes down the ball is already in the keeper's gloves. Really quick.
@@Brez6645 yeah really quick
What a fantastic bowler, a great man!
RIP
What a speed & swing.. Malcom Marshall sir.. U are simply super..
I was young enough to witness on tv this great Clive Lloyd team of that era. What a dream team for any era. 👏👏👏👍👍
In 83-85, while Lloyd batting, his little one, was in gallery. ...
The best fast bowler in the history of cricket. Pace and swing ,he has both.
Yep. that was Clive Lloyd's opinion; and he played with all of them.
Batsman after getting out : Yes I am safe😊
A well coordinated bowling machine.
Like a jet plane on the runway for the take off.l once saw him bowling in 1986 at Karachi and as I was waiting for the master batsman Javed Miandad who incidentally was the highest scorer in the first innings to come and bat.Probably it was the second ball he faced and suddenly I saw the wickets flying all over 😊 ..... I left for home 🏡.
Marshal took 3-31 in the second innings.
Fortunately it was the last wicket partnership between Imran Khan and Tauseef Ahmed that saved the day for Pakistan 🇵🇰
Imran Khan who had also taken 6-46 in the second innings was declared man of the match that day.
Can’t believe it’s been 35 years since 🤔
I was there as well najeeb bai u live in karachi jnab i know u
WELL SAID BROTHER
❤ Even after many years I'm still stunned by Malcolm Marshall
Unlike other windies bowlers he was very skiddy and the ball would reach the batsman faster so bowlers who would have played holding garner and croft were caught totally unawares when they faced mashall. Plus he could swing the ball prodigiously ! A real tough bowler to play❤️
He is the best ever.Such high pace ,accuracy and movement
As with lots of others who've posted comments, Marshall was also my favourite quickie ever. As others have said, he was blindingly fast but also very accurate: the ball was always on or around off stump and I can't ever recall him bowling anything loose. I also loved his run up: he pretty much ran at full pace and maintained his speed right up to delivering the ball. Fantastic bowler.
Top class bowling AND fielding - crowd pleasers on any day! I've been lucky to have seen fine fast bowlers in
action over seven decades and they are always great additions to the game and its continual battle of wits
between bowler and batsman. Great memories.
Marshall the magnificent! Shows how fast he was when you see how far back the wicket keeper & slips were placed.
He wasn't just quick but he got the ball to swing so well & was so so accurate.
Thunderous Display of quality pace bowling.Something Rare now a days
Malcom Marshall was a mighty giant amongst bowlers ☄️ there was fire 🔥 in his bowling
Really wish Sir Malcom Marshall to feature in IPL..
He would even injure batsmen in net practice leave alone official matches... Best Fast Bowler of all time
3:19 the legendary leave.😂
True
He is afraid to face him
One of the greatest ever. Saw him Bowl in 81 .
All we see these days is not cricket. Just absolute trash. Those were the golden days of cricket indeed and Malcolm Marshall is the best bowler I’ve ever seen
I used to love watching Marshall bowl, I think he just got better and better.
The legend Sir Marshall 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🌹🌹
Probably the finest exponent of using the bowling crease to create awkward angles for the batsmen. He could cut down his run up by half and still consistently bowl at the same pace. What a bowler!!! Any list of fast bowling greats is incomplete without this great man's name on it.
And out swinging ball for that angle 👍
@@aryansinghrana1990 Inswinger and outswinger were taught to Marshall by the greatest Dennis Lillee. Malcolm approached the master & asked him to teach him.
@@graemealexander8804 Lillee never stepped outside Eng,Aus and Nz. When did got whacked to all parts of the ground. Great bowler but not superior to Marshall or even Akram and Hadlee.
Breaks the myth that you had to be 6 feet plus to be a top fast bowler. What a run up and action. Simply poetry in motion. Wasim Akram also had a great run up and action. Imagine the poor batsmen facing them at different ends in their prime!
I was a kid living in London in the 70's, I cut my teeth in cricket watching this man bowl; he kindled my love of cricket. he was smaller than the other Windies quicks, shorter and more solid, short run up and bloody fast. He was my hero bowler and I still think the greatest I ever got to watch play.
I remember when my mate Graham Thorpe started playing for Surrey 1st XI and came back from a game against Hampshire in shock after facing Marshall for the first time. I was a pretty rapid club quick but I felt like a rank medium pacer after what Thorpey told me that day 😄
I've seen Thorpe score a gutsy fighting hundred, without a single boundary, in the Caribbean. Was he always such a fighter at the crease ?
Malcom Sir and Holding ji, all time great. Very fearsome to watch them.
Holding ko ji ...Buraa maan jayega holding
I watched this match live and watching this after all these years, I still enjoy watching Marshall, one of the best bowlers I have seen and watched. England were not just blown away, but they faced a complete white wash in this test match. The West Indies team at the time were the best.
What a great bowler, agression with accuracy with fearsome pace. Rearest quality, just great, treat to watch him bowling.
Malcom Marshall was a very ferocious bowler as I have watched him from my childhood. I have never seen any batsman who could tame him except Sunil Gavaskar who created records against westindies to certain extent. Sad we miss one of the Greatest bowler Malcom Marshall and he will be remembered always. RIP 🙏
most fearsome bowler ever.
speed and brain extraordinary
The Windies pace attack, starting the mid-70's and until the mid 80's, was all-express-pace, with each bowler capable of running through the opposition on his own. No fast-medium, medium-fast. There has been no equal to that attack--before, during, or after...
10-4. Copy. Agreed. Spot on. Formidable accurate statement
The GOAT. I saw the great man dozens of times when he played for Natal in the 90s. Even at a slightly advanced age, his pace and aggression were outstanding. I remember vividly how he made those orange benson and hedges stumps cartwheel. Around the same time he was involved in a cricketing clinic for youngsters in my hometown (Durban). My grandfather was a die-hard cricket fan (it was him that took me to all the matches) and he decided to pay for me to attend this clinic. I was batting when another youngster bowled a nasty bouncer that took my cap clean off my head, without actually contacting my head, luckily. Still, it was none other than Malcolm Marshall that sprinted up to me to make sure I was okay. RIP to two great men, Malcolm and my grandfather
MM was my idol as a youngster. There's nothing much more to say than that.
Legend.
The difference between those guys and the west indies 2000 onwards is "hunger to win" , self respect and discipline...they look like they have come for a stroll in the park..maybe things will change with Pollard ..he seems like a natural leader..
Brings back childhood memories. Malcom Marshall was a class of his own. That action , speed , accuracy , variation ..wow what can I say ?
Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner,Roy Gilchrist and Michael Holding- the quartet of 4 fast bowlers in the West Indies cricket team during 70s and 80s era who were known as horsemen of death due to their dangerous line and length they bowled.
The legendary bowler,he was equipped with fierce pace,that was his talent.I am big admirer of Mr MalcomMarshall.I have seen almost all top order batsman struggling facing him.Unfortunately he died vry early,I still miss him.He was vry vry special for me.Hats of Sir
सर्वकालिक महानतम गेंदबाज़, मुझे खुशी है कि मैने इस महान खिलाड़ी को खेलते देखा है 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Man what a bowler !
I saw him (Marshall) in the Eden Gardens, Sunny and Dilip made century and double century, yet he climbed to the summit of pace bowling with his diagonal runup, uff Man ! ❤❤❤
I remember watching this live on TV and after nearly 40 years I’ve still never seen a spell of fast bowling as good as this. You’ll always be first on my list of greatest fast bowlers ever and so sad we lost you far too soon MM ❤️❤️❤️
My favourite bowler of all time. Sheer pace, movement and swing all at around 90+ mph! Approx about 5’10” so he was very skiddy too. A thoroughly nice bloke as well.....unless you were on the receiving end of one his bouncers (I.e. Mike Gatting). Taken far too young.
Marshall was so so fast and ball skid-
All the skills of swing and seam with a vicious skiddy bouncer at extreme pace. Best fast bowler I have seen. Some of these players probably still have nightmares about facing him.
They just can't Bat against Marshall. Most of Batsmen even hadn't a enough time to just Swing their Bat. That's very enough to Imagine his Pace. Absolutely Lethal and Deadly ❤️🔥
Raw Pace • Accuracy • Swing • Seam and all
He's a Complete Package
#MalcomMarshall #Windies
After watching the famous WI bowlers and their invincibility, I wish I could have born in 80s rather than in 90s.

Im honoured to have seen the late great malcolm marshall play for my home county hampshire and the misfortune to have seen him obliterate english batsmen. Wether hes the greatest fast bowler of all time will always be up for debate. But the great viv richards and clive Lloyd have said he was the best, so that,ll do for me. R i p macho. Legend.
@@graemealexander8804 he was quicker than that. The pace of a delivery was judged differently (more authentic in my opinion) back then - Jeff Thompson complained about it once in an interview.
David Gower once said that at his peak in the 80s Marshall was regularly bowling at 95mph (152kph) but sometimes he hit 98mph (157kph)... Marshall weren't no joke! Skiddy bouncer, moved the ball both ways at raw pace... A proper nightmare to face, back when helmets were only just coming in. I rate these batsmen
@@anthonyjackson1853 😳😳 oh really 98mph that means Malcolm Marshall may have bowled 160kph,any idea how much was his fastest recorded delivery
@@anirudhsuresh4481 I believe Shoaib Akhtar has it at 161kph (officially), but again there might be some debate about that from the old heads due to the difference in judging the speed.
There were *a lot* of speedsters in test cricket back then. If you consider all the great WI bowlers of that era, Geoff Dujon when asked, said that the fastest he kept wicket to was Patrick Patterson - which is food for thought. I recon some people have bowled as quick or quicker than Akhtar...
0.13 look at the speed of the ball even during a slow replay.. My God.. It's like batting against bullets real time. Phew...
Malcolm Marshall the greatest fast bowler of the world, the cricket lover still missing you, may GOD Bless his soul rest and peace (amin)
From Karachi "PAKISTAN"
Great pace and deadly accurate...one of the greatest!
Last wicket was just miraculous. That's what is called "TOP OF OFF" in real sense.
Wow what a bowling attack it was for West Indies but now they are lacking in test cricket 🏏
In every form of cricket
"test cricket"? what's that? The slow walk in the park that takes 6 days to go half a mile?
Marshall's bowling action will live on in world cricket forever
The greatest bowler of all time. Taken from us far too early.
wasim is no 1 by the way
The greatest fast baller of all time.✌✌
This is the Top Class Test Cricket we want to see again from West Indies! 🏏🔥😃
I'm from the Caribbean and seeing how this guy swings it and the raw pace to add to that....have mercy!! It's so not fair...I know lolll......but I'm just glad I'm a west Indian lmao!!
That's why he's known as Malcolm "Terror" Marshall.
yes.. I agree with you.. He was Malcolm 'Terror' Marshall.. I still remember in my childhood days, everytime I watched him on TV starting his run up, a shiver came running down my spine.. it was not a human being running out there but a wounded tiger running behind its prey and kill it.. so fearsome was his bowliing action..

Absolutely, his run up was so fiery during his peak & the way he came running upto batsmen it assumed as if he didn't want to take wickets but just want to kill batsmen.
He was a dream of a bowler.
Unforgettable.
Most menacing fast bowler in the history of test cricket closely followed by Lillie n Akram
no Akram. Mcgrath was close. It is that Indians have phobia of Pak players so they feel they are good.
thanks for your honesty & respecting the legends. peace 🖤🌺
