Malcolm Marshall greatness is that he took wickets even in flat wickets. He would say hello to batsmen with vicious bouncer and goodbye with his yorker or leg cutters.
Marshall made his debut against India in the 1978/79 series in Alvin Kallicharan headed B team. Their top players were in Australia playing WCC. Marshall played 3 tests in that series and was an unremarkable bowler on equally unremarkable batting tracks. Nobody would have made the prediction that this is the guy who would go on to become the most feared and most successful fast bowler of the 1980s. Marshall’s success and steady place came on the WI squad in the early 1980s when Colin Croft decided to go on the rebel tour and Andy Roberts was getting near the the end of his career. Those two openings gave rise to two new pace bowlers on the WI squad, Malcolm Marshall and Courtney Walsh who debuted in 1984 against Australia.
In my opinion, the greatest fast bowler we've ever seen. By all accounts a really genuine and lovely fellow off the pitch, and a fierce competitor and great team mate on it. He had a tremendous cricketing brain, could swing the ball both ways, move it off the seam both ways, changed speeds, a really nasty bouncer than caught many a batsman out. He would be one of my opening pair of bowlers in my all time XI. Such a shame he died so young of colon cancer. My only regret when it comes to Malcolm is that he was a West Indian and not and Englishman, as he dismantled our batting with regularity. One of the all time greats. Any all-time XI that doesn't have his name in it, for me automatically disqualifies itself :)
In my opinion, Malcolm Marshall was the greatest right arm Fast bowler in this history of cricket because I will always put him as the greatest of all time with Wasim Akram. Because Akram was the greatest ever left armer the cricketing world has ever seen
@@ABDULLAH746 Wasim Akram would be another of my picks for an all time XI. Fantastic bowler, and he could bat (when he applied himself). He was a potential match winner any time he walked on to a pitch.
@@kunalsingh3121 I won't argue that Dennis Lillee is one of the great fast bowlers of all time. But, and this is just my opinion, he would make my all time XI. I've only chosen players I've seen play either on the TV or live, but I've been watching cricket since the mid-70s so I have fair history of watching. For me... Sunil Gavaskar Matthew Hayden Viv Richards (c) Sachin Tendulkar Brian Lara Jacques Kallis Adam Gilchrist Wasim Akram Shane Warne Malcolm Marshall Michael Holding. As an Englishman, it was very hard to leave out a few people, but I honestly believe of all the players I've seen play, that would be my team.
@@MrDarkweaver You are right Dennis was brilliant...Your all time XI is brilliant and i have same 6-7 players in my best team too...,,,,,My no.3,4 & 5 are same as you...Viv, Lara and Tendulkar...Viv is simply the best batter I ever saw and will bat at 3...I still can't think how West Indies took away his no.3 spot and his stats starting fading away he was a no.3 batter. I will have Wasim, Malcolm, Warne and Gilchrist too in my XI...but you overlooked Gordon which is just criminal he was brilliant one of the greatest and finest opening batter of last 50 years he got overshadowed by Viv's brilliance,,,,,,He will by in my XI ahead of Sunil Gavaskar...I will pick Dennis Lillee ahead of Michael Holding who was brilliant too but Dennis is in top echelon along with Marshall and Akram..I will pick Imran Khan ahead of Kallis and will lead my side..
Marshall was an amazing bowler,I remember watching him playing for Hants. The first innings conditions were overcast and he swung it like a boomerang both ways.The second innings the cloud cover lifted and the ball stopped swinging.He slowed his pace bowled quick cutters and got loads of wickets,he had the lot,movement,control,hostility.Shame he isn`t around to coach up and coming fast bowlers now :(
Thanks for this upload man. Never had the resources to study Macko's action. I wonder how Michael Holding felt watching all his mates out on the field. He was the first of that undefeated generation to retire after a full career.
Holding made his debut in 1975-76 when WI got whacked 5 - 1. Holding was taken to the cleaners by Greg Chapell, perhaps the only time he was taken to the cleaners. Yes, he was one of the greats in the greatest team the world of Cricket has seen.
At 6:46 when Marshall gets Boon was a masterful piece of cricket. He moved his slip out to gully and then puts one on a length on off stump. Classic stuff! Simple but effective!
Was my favourite bowler when we were growing up in the 80's. A different world, a different game then. The decline of west indies is why I hardly watch cricket these days and stick to football. Thanks mate!
Malcolm Marshall showed the cricketing world that anyone can be a fast bowler. Previous if was believed that only tall guys (at least 6 feet) can only be fast bowlers. Rest in peace Malcolm
Test at its best! Sir Rob, I can't thank you enough for these priceless videos. There's nothing like watching a Malcolm Marshall spell ball by ball. I wonder why MM didn't open the bowling here.
I remember this match way back in 1991, when, I heard radio cricket commentary from the ABC team comprising wonderful radio commentators Jim Maxwell, Tim Lane, Neville Oliver and expert comments from the late Peter Roebuck.
Masterful bowling from Maco, but can we also take a moment to appreciate Viv Richards fielding at silly mid off with no helmet. The cojones on that dude...
I don't know about anybody else but I love Marshall bowling style , skills, his behaviour too very very good human being just by watching this whole video
I remember going to bed at 5pm and getting up to watch all 5 tests of the 1991 Tour, and having a few unexplained school absences for being up all night! The twilight of the Mighty Windies, and did they ever give Australia a pasting! Brings back memories. Thanks for uploading.
@@ethybubs bradman is an overrating!!!!!! There was no great bowling in his time.. Viv would still average over 60 this days but bradman would barely average more than 45.
@@flyingfalcon5065 wtf bro? Bradman would still be ahead of everyone. At his time there was no full time cricket so he had to work a job and practice which already took a lot of practice time from him. Bats were tiny in his era and there were no helmets back then and the guy still has ultimate record in cricket history.
@@hardrock342 ha ha ha.... If u r true then it is clear from your satement that there was no professionalism in cricket in his time. So, naturally he gets out of the equation.
Rob-Thanks a million again.....as good as this is Macko was close to retirement at this stage. Frankly i dint understand the sarcasm of Richie callin Macko just a good bowler......who's he kidding? Macko is best ever fast bowler, strike bowler, an avenging angel of Roy Gilchrist and much much more! Another of my long outstanding request.....any Macko vis from 82-87(even County matches). The 83 Ferozeshah kotla providing a tantalizing glimpse of his utter menace.....Macko RIP!
One of my top 5 all time fast bowlers. You could see that he was a bit past his prime here though. Lost about a yard of pace...but still a great fast bowler..even past his prime.
plus at this stage of his career he had already cut down on his pace and concentrated on maintaining accuracy and getting movement. I also wish to correct my earlier statement, Marshall wasnt only the best of all West Indian bowlers, he was the best of all fastbowlers
@@prasadvasudevan2269 Great bowler, McGrath. But he was just never as exciting to watch, for me. Statisticly McGrath is one of the best ever pace bowlers, in terms of number of test wickets taken over a career, but his success was mostly down to hard work, fitness, accuracy and longetivity. Whereas guys like Garner, Holding, Donald, Akram, Marshall etc., were just so damn exciting to watch. And on their day, they were almost unplayable, on any wicket. Even now, I often go in on TH-cam and watch them, when they were at their best. Garner, with his graceful action, almost jogged in, but he could generate so much pace and bounce because of his height, it was breathtaking to watch him bowl. Donald, with his pure fire and aggresivity was also unplayable on his day. And Akram (my alltime favourite) was just breathtaking to behold, he really was. He hardly had any run-up, but again; could generate amazing pace and bounce, and his yorkers and reverse swing were pure magic. Holdings graceful run-up and bowling action were technically perfect, and he was also amazing to watch. And his pace was just phenomenal. For me, Holding was the fastest, scariest bowler ever - on his day. Malcolm Marshalls sheer pace and the way he made the ball skid off the wicket was also great to watch. At their best, these guys were totally unplayable, on any wicket, against any batsman. Taking nothing away from McGrath though, he certainly was a prolific wicket taker.
@multirahul85 Yeah obviously I dont play test cricket. What sort of fucked up comment is that?? Guess what, you arent the best batsman in the world either. I'm sure you arent even fit to wipe Marshall's asscrack.
Problem is, i would have to go and edit the settings on every video to disable comments, i've done it on a few hundred, but i just cant be stuffed doing it to all of them. I dont really care much anyway, too tired to get bothered by the moronic comments. If people want to waste their time.....
those lbw's would be reversed today. just shows you that bowlers probably deserved another 50-100 more wickets, especially of marshalls class. marsh was out like 5 times and border was out as well. thank god for drs
The man has cut down on his pace, but his control of swing (both ways) and accuracy is legendary. That Boon dismissal is a good example. Since he swings most of them in a long way, Boon HAD TO play the legcutter and edge behind. The way Maco comes around the wicket and causes it to swerve from a leg-stump line is also very difficult to play. Great bowling from a very, very intelligent bowler.
I'm almost certain that Marsh was out and at least 2 of those LBW shouts - especially the first one... MM appeal was almost muted - Bowlers cry blood for much less than that today!!
@HengistTheGreat Cutting the ball off the deck is a special art. Not just movement off the deck (that men like Philander have generated brilliantly in recent times), but the actual finger action in cutting the ball. I am not sure many modern bowlers are well-versed in the art form and pitch conditions do play a part there; along with skill factor. Lillee, Holding, Roberts and Snow were the original masters in the 70s and Marshall in the 80s.
Wow what a video Rob...His inswing is So Strong...it seems that ther not much in the pitch..but still he is a moving the ball...awesome...the second delivery lbw appeal is plumb...Don no how many wkts he missed like that..!!
@kamranwasti Could well be possible. I cannot see the ball clearly in this clip to say for sure. But the track is abrasive, the weather seems dry and the ball is somewhat old. All the ingredients are there to generate reverse swing and he does get a couple of them to seriously bend in this clip. It's more likely to be reverse than conventional swing, IMHO. And he's not just nipping them around off the seam, he's actually making it travel in the air.
@Imrankniazi I read a Ramiz Raja interview during the 1990s in which he said that when in the West Indies or Pakistan, Marshall would invariably bowl his first few balls with the old ball wide outside the off stump to rough up the ball and then the ball would start swinging in for him. Reverse swing?
He did not have a Cut Glass English Accent. From his routes never read Grammar or went to Eloquence lessons. Listen to Paul Allott and Jonathan Agnew first before you write. Please respect and do not rape my English Language. A Properly schooled Old Etonian, who still play several sports that you cannot even dream of.
@kamranwasti I think he said that he would bowl a signal ball at the advertising boards BEFORE he started the spell of course ....now that is saying something. It could be just to get a patch on one side from the get go but I wonder how that would have been perceived today especially if Wasim or Waqar did that lol
Even at 32yrs of age, he was quite quick. Surprised that he had lost a lot of pace by the 1992 WC!! Windies CWC 1992 squad didnt have Walsh, Bishop, Patterson, Richards etc... It was quite depleted by then...
That ball at 11:40 particularly. At this age Maco was past his prime and mostly bowling within himself, but that ball shows that he was still capable of keeping batsmen honest and giving them a bruise pretty much whenever hewanted.
Good old cricket,I hope the modern cricket which is full of glamour,fixing and money changes and even our generation can watch such good old test cricket,where there is no money power or political power but only the love for sport
why dont you put the westindies first innings in this game, i'm 18 years old, i never saw this game, would love to see the westindies batting, idk if u would but i'm just making a suggestion
@Imrankniazi Having said that, some of his deliveries in this clip are genuine cutters. Let's also not forget that alongwith swing in the air, the man possessed a very lethal leg-cutter and a pretty useful off-cutter.
@HengistTheGreat McDermott was a fine bowler, for sure. Never had a leg-cutter though, to the best of my knowledge. Had a fine off-cutter and could swing the ball well. This video's uploader knows cricket a lot better than most of us. He would correct my statement, if it's untrue :-) And he has uploaded videos of all the great bowlers I mentioned. Check 'em out. Cheers!
You cannot pick a greatest team of all time without 4 people in it... 1. Sir Don Bradman, 2. Sir Garfield Sobers, 3. Shane Warne and 4. Malcolm Marshall. The rest are next.

Good old cricket,I hope the modern cricket which is full of glamour,fixing and money changes and even our generation can watch such good old test cricket,where there is no money power or political power but only the love for sport
why dont you put the westindies first innings in this game, i'm 18 years old, i never saw this game, would love to see the westindies batting, idk if u would but i'm just making a suggestion
I did not remember the full west indies innings but I remember Richie Richardson made 182 west indies made 548 which was 200 more
@@winstonseecharan5772 oh ok 👌 that's so cool. Imagine I made this comment 10 years I don't even remember doing so but it feels good to reminisce.
I'm 29 years old now so it's 11 years technically lol.
Such a shame Malcs died so young. RIP
Who's the empire shown in this over?
@Imrankniazi Having said that, some of his deliveries in this clip are genuine cutters. Let's also not forget that alongwith swing in the air, the man possessed a very lethal leg-cutter and a pretty useful off-cutter.
Ended up being a disappointing tour for Australia. Won the One day series easily but just couldn't get the break's against a very proud Windies outfit
Malcolm Marshall was a brilliant bowler,
God bless robelinda
God bless indeed!
6:21 looks like he is bowling off the wrong foot. At least the weight transfer is weird
greatest west indian bowler ever,marginally in front of ambrose
@HengistTheGreat McDermott was a fine bowler, for sure. Never had a leg-cutter though, to the best of my knowledge. Had a fine off-cutter and could swing the ball well. This video's uploader knows cricket a lot better than most of us. He would correct my statement, if it's untrue :-) And he has uploaded videos of all the great bowlers I mentioned. Check 'em out. Cheers!
i wish i was good enough to play this sport for a career.
He could bowl offspin too.
Why the fuck the ball is swinging so much on flat track.... I think because of Malcolm
Are you kidding me? they are no way near Jayasuriya!
You cannot pick a greatest team of all time without 4 people in it... 1. Sir Don Bradman, 2. Sir Garfield Sobers, 3. Shane Warne and 4. Malcolm Marshall. The rest are next.
I think the second bowl was LBW...
Robin smith was the best on the cut! That is all!
Marshall or Akram?
Awesome Marshall !!!
