Malcolm Marshall Most Dangerous Bowling In Test Cricket - Very Nasty Bouncers

- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2022
- Malcolm Marshall was known for his accurate and brutal fast bowling. He was the number 1 fast bowler in the world and for many years, he was the fastest bowler in the world. In this video, I have edited some of his finest bouncers to show the fans how great bowler he was. He is simply the best fast bowler of all time along with Wasim Akram.

He was the complete package; swing, seam, pace and could adapt to all conditions. He bowled superbly in India, where it is traditionally a fast bowlers 'graveyard'.
Indian batsmen have always struggled against fast pace of this quality. Pick most of the 145kmph+ avg speed bowler and they have done well against India. They are particularly exceptional against spin. But as far as fast pace bowling is concerned you have to prove your worth against the English and the Aussies. (And that M.M. did all too well)
@@Vinmeister Not in the modern cricket (Post 2000). The only bowler against India struggled in India who had express pace was steyn. India have always struggled against Seam and swing regardless of the conditions.
In their "revenge' series here in India after we own the WC in 1983 he was well-nigh unplayable. The Windies were ruthless, specially in the ODIs. Some fiery pace bowling ever seen in India.
He and Dale Steyn are the only 2 in History to have good bowling record in India.
@@DC-zi6se Courtney Walsh, too. He has the record haul in India.
Love the way Marshall gathered speed in his run up and then a fast arm. He could be vicious but had all the skills of swing and seam. Best fast bowler I’ve ever seen.
Loved that bustling run-up coming in from an angle towards the crease...never a straight run-up. Poetry in motion....🙂
Holding was my very favorite with Malcolm right behind.
Marshall was arguably the greatest fast bowler in test cricket. Certainly the best i ever saw.
Unarguably I think. :) 😄@@colingeddes2172
One of the all time greats in the history of cricket. Malcolm Marshall, what a bowler he was.
Thanks for your thoughts sir. Appreciate your time. While I appreciate high quality, hostile fast bowling, I also appreciate batters of the class of Viv Richards and Sunil Gavaskar who faced Marshal, Garner, Holding, Roberts, Lillee, Thomson, etc. They never wore helmets.
@Arun Nair Bruh you kidding me😂😂 that's not illegal according to cricket. That's one way of intimidating the batsmen. That produced the windies as the most fearsome team during those times.
@Arun Nair get some idea about cric n then comment, this was not entertainment (T20) with shorter boundaries n blind techniques. That is classic cric n that's hw cric was played n should b played,
@@seyonmahendran7182 Should have been made illegal. Cricket should be about bowling at wickets, not at bodies.
@@posthari But it's ok, it's just like sledging. Back in those days England and Australia used sledging as a weopon to attack the opposition's emotions and to drive his focus away and Windies tried to pose fear inside the opposition. If aussies could sledge why can't windies go on physical assaults. It's ok as long as they don't involve in brawls.
Gosh! This is the first time I've seen Malcolm Marshall bowl & that too in colour TV. Excellent bowling. If someone bowls like that in today's day & age, the batsmen would complain that the pitch is dangerous ☹️
If you want some more, can I suggest looking for the West Indies tour of Australia in 1984/5. There are extended highlights of all the tests on RUclips (about 1 hour per test). West Indies put out perhaps the greatest fast bowling attack in history: Marshall, Holding, Garner and Walsh. In addition, the first 2 tests were played at the WACA and the GABBA, which were then probably the 2 quickest pitches in the world.
@@jamesd7045 England's tour of W Indies in 85 86 was 'behind the sofa' viewing. Pat Patterson joined the team - Dujon described him as the quickest he ever kept to.
True. If I remember correctly, the Jamaica test was not televised because of a dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board. It would have been X rated if it had been shown. Ask Mike Gatting.
@@jamesd7045 who could forget what Marshall did to his nose in the one-day tournament.
@@duncanpriestley964 Quite. Anyone (with a strong stomach!) who is curious can no doubt Google it.
Yes. I cannot forget Malcolm Marshal in Kanpur, 1984.
Malcolm Marshall, a genuine fast baller who used to bowl bouncers from good length spot.
That's a good point; Marshall bouncers were mostly from a good length and did not lift too high; that is why a lot of batsmen dicked into them and get hit.
We are always told as batsmen to keep our eyes on the ball when batting but it is difficult to keep your eyes on the ball when it rises up suddenly at your face from a good length with pace.
Agree with you
no.. not from good length.. that is not possible
stop lying.
Such a compact bowling action. Of all the fast bowlers I've watched over the years, Marshall stands out as the only one I can't work out how he generates such great pace.
He skids it off the pitch , very nasty indeed if you are on the end of it
Marshall wasn't a tall man (like most of the West Indies quicks) and according to those who faced him, this made his bouncer difficult to spot and judge as it came at a flatter trajectory, skidding off the surface up into your rib cage or throat area. This video demonstrates what they mean, perfectly.
Greatest bowler I have ever seen. Crafty, aggressive and as capable of thinking out a batsman as blasting him out.
I'm amazed no one died facing the WI in those days. Someone should make a compilation of all the deliveries poor old Graham Wood had to face, that guy seemed to cop so much flak
Malcolm Marshall and Dennis Lillee were the best fast bowlers of all time in my opinion. I'm glad I saw them at their best.
No one died because they had helmets but pre helmets , batsmen s techniques against the bouncer were a lot better . in 75/76 ,, pre Helmut , in the Windies v Australia , Thompson, lillee, Roberts and holding bowled a lot of bouncers and no one ever get hit in the head . the batsmen all took their back foot back and across before the bowler let go of the ball , so the batsmen was 2 feet further back and had a split second longer to react . in this video , wood actually played forward into the bouncer s , so he was like 4 feet closer to the bowler than the Aussie batsmen in 75/76 . and most batsman , now with no threat of a fractured skull because of wearing a Helmut , play like wood , ie play forward automatically, making them very awkward against bouncers , but better to take advantage of a well pitched ball
@@iang8169 Viv Richards was a front foot player in that period...and without a helmet...got hit in the head once or twice, rubbed it and moved on....that was Viv for you....
@@saleemkirmani5583 Holding for me, oh and Joel Garner, almost unplayable when he was flying
Gatting and Andy Lloyd all but for the grace of God
Malcolm Marshal the Meanest n fearsome of them all.....what a legend 🙏
He is the honey badger ...don't give any s...t to anyone . And everyone scared of him
Oo🌹🌹🤣
I still have his Bowling and Fielding book from the early 90s and it did a good job of explaining to a beginner how to do the basics.It must have been truly frightening facing one of the greats
Absolutely amazing bowler - The greatest of them all in fact. Also, the most lethal bouncer. Gavaskar was my favorite batsman and Malcolm Marshall my favorite bowler. They had a tremendous rivalywith both getting their days of success. No other batter could stand up to Malcolm Marshall. RIP Champ.
When NZ toured the West Indies in 85 they were given a mandate just to not annoy or offend Malcolm Marshall or in general give him any reason at all to have a bad day. He was a player they honestly believed that if he wanted to kill you- could......and then Hadlee preceded to bowl a barrage of bouncers at him before John Wright and co had to come out and face him next morning. Marshall bounced Wright and knocked his helmet clean off his head. Haynes or Greenidge picked it up at 2nd slip, handed it back and gently said "Good Morning John" while the rest of the Windies in fielders were laughing hysterically.
Love this commentary, just imagine being handed back your help from 2nd slip
Stop it! Am crying… 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭
Oh my god 😂 that's crazy !!
Made my day the above comment from Nick Cebalo
Touring West Indies in those days was tough. If memory serves, Ken Rutherford made his debut for New Zealand on that tour, and made 12 runs in 7 innings. The following year, England toured. Perhaps fortunately, there is no footage of the Jamaica test (those who want to know why it's fortunate should Google Mike Gatting nose).
The video above is clearly a highlights package, though. Sure, Marshall used the bouncer quite a bit (and his bouncer was skiddy because he was a short man), but you can't say how often on the basis of this package. Rixon was clearly having problems with it, which probably encouraged Marshall to use it.
It's not just the pace. It is directed right at the chest and neck where the batsman cannot leave it nor block it. That's' what it make him so deadly.
Really miss WI legacy. I hope those days can come back. If WI cricket is alive, world cricket is alive
❤❤❤❤
Indian cricket is alive...
@@swarnavaganguli9046
india and its cricket both chootiya
Totally agree with you bro....World cricket is poorer without the old West Indies batting and bowling fire power.....
that days will not come back now, cricket is "entertainment cricket" bolwer has nothing to do every thing is in favour of batsman.
He was unplayable. What a great bowler he was . May God rest his soul in peace , ameen
Ammen 😆
Unfortunately MD Marshall, most lethal bowler of his times, died of colon cancer, Gavaskar negotiated him well without helmet on, short height helped Gavaskar to play and leave his balls, technically he was sound so he could play Marshall otherwise all other world cricketers got taste of Marshall's pace medicine as quinine...
Disagree.Gavaskar knocks were on dead pitches .infact his 236 in madras was a nonconsequential inning involving one inning test match. only consequential knock was 91 at Ahmedabad where he changed to attavking mode as a way to survive and it was entertaining.
@@MrLotliker Gavaskar amassed 700 + runs in his debut tour to WI where Dilip Sardesai too hit double century which proves that Sunny & Dilip were technically sound enough otherwise he wouldn't have achieved such huge success.
Cricket is game of uncertainties so not every time likes of Sunny can shine, even then his test records speaks the volume of his greatness, acknowledged by WI team of that time, irrespective of pitches he negotiated most fearsome bowling attack in the world.
@@bimalkrishna6155
Princess, this video is about Malcolm Marshall and has *N-OT-H-I-N-G* to do with Gavaskar. The 'ability' (ha!) of Indians to talk endlessly about Indian cricketers on cricket videos that have nothing to do with Indian cricketers is a laughable as it is ridiculous. Example. There is a video highlight of Stoke's great 135* in the famous Headingly test or Lara's equally great 149* against the Aussies in '89. Instead of praising these great innings they say nothing about them and then prattle on about Pant's Gabba knock being better or Tendulkar would've got more runs...
Like little kids
@@hyena131 That's why BCCI is richest board of the world and every team's dream is to play in India.
Indians not only talk but walk, about Gavaskar reply was given to Mr Lotikar, our players and spectators/ cricket lovers made cricket popular all over world...
@@bimalkrishna6155
Once more, the obsessive - and tedious - fixation with Gavaskar and india. Nobody cares, nobody asked. This is a video highlighting the great Malcolm Marshall that has *N-O-T-H-I-N-G* do with India or Gavaskar. Just calm down with the rabid, irrational nationalism and simply try to enjoy cricket regardless of race, creed, nationality, heritage or which teams are playing.
Big breaths, dear...
He ran in quickly and really followed through so a lot of momentum which made him ridiculously quick.
A brilliant bowler. He stood out in a star-studded fast bowling line-up.
There is a wonderful documentary about his career, made by his County skipper, on RUclips.
I copied his style of bowling and got to represent my state Qld. But of course, not my country because I wasn't good like him RIP M.M
Saw him bowling for Hampshire at Basingstoke,a few times the only time I saw the ball was when the keeper(a long way back!)caught it! Fantastic bowler
I played cricket with ex aussie fast bowler Ian Callen. He used to tell us the story of when he faced Michael "Whispering Death" Holding at the MCG when Victoria was playing the West Indies. He said it was the most frightening experience of his entire life
ex-Carlton
not more than bouncers (short pitched bowling) meant to hurt. Not allowed by Cricket Law. Stupid umpire!
Holding had a very gentle run up, so much so umpires had to keep looking back. So Dickey Bird aptly named him the "Whispering Death"
appropriate comment under a michael holding video
I think it was Grahame Wood who told a story of Holding hitting him in the box three times after he'd refused to show pain the first couple. In the end he was doubled over and Michael sauntered past and politely asked if he'd had any children yet. When Grahame answered in the affirmative Michael said "that's good"! In seriousness though I read they bowled on a terrible wicket earlier or later in the tour in a three day match - Holding reduced his run-up and bowled medium pace, the game was a draw and his reaction afterwards was "I'm here to take wickets not to kill people"
My admiration for Malcolm Marshall... He'll always be remembered as most deadliest bowler of all time in the history of Cricket..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"All-time"? Did you personally watch Sydney Barnes? Fred Spofforth? Harold Larwood? No, I didn't think so.
It was quite an attack for the Windies in those days, but I always felt Marshall was not only the fastest, but definitely the most skilful. His variety and easy changes between over and around the wicket were amazing. On top of all that he was very intimidating! Such a terrible loss at such a young age!
He was able to make it bounce chest high. Just enough height to not call it a bouncer. He made batsman play it. With body if not with bat. And it was fast.
@@djraja8701 Marshall was around 145kmh. Andy Roberts is the fastest clocked West Indies bowler ever recorded. He is also the 3rd fastest clocked Test Bowler of all-time @ 159.49kmh. Jeff Thomson is still the fastest in Tests, 2x separate studies, both after his shoulder injuries, 160.45kmh, 160.45kmh & 160.60kmh. Mitchell Starc is 2nd @ 160.40kmh. Michael Holding in his early 20's recorded 152kmh, obviously he was much quicker at his peak.
@@graemealexander8804 issue is not the fastest but most lethal here. Of course your knowledge of records is quite outstanding and commendable. Thanks.
@@graemealexander8804 Marshall was better fast bowler than Lillee.
@@graemealexander8804 Would be interesting to see Patrick Patterson's peak speeds. Dujon called him the quickest he ever kept to.....often wonder just how quick Sylvester Clark was when he was in the mood too. I've seen footage of Roberts getting this 7-for v Australia in 75 and he looked seriously quick!

Pure gold..... So glad, I have seen some of these greats in action.
MALCOLM MARSHALL THE BEST AND GREATEST EVER.... I PRAY DAILY AND FOR YEARS WILL WEST INDIES EVER HAVE THE GREATS AGAIN LIKE MARSHALL HOLDING CROFT GARNER AMBROSE WALSH PATTERSON ROBERTS ....PURE WORLD CLASS
True !
The mentioned pace battery of Windies were awesome and we also pray to WI comeback with same set of bowling attack in world cricket to introduce the past glory of Carebians.
The batting unit comprising Clive Lloyd, Brian Lara, Viv Richards were also worth mentioning to stamp their authority on any attack in cricket bowling by likes of Denis Lillie, Thompson, Sir Rechard Hadlee and so on were treat to watch but not invincible by WI batters of that times.
We are missing them....

@@richardrampersad1654 Yes, Rampersad Ji, these cricketers are legends, no other Nation has produced such gems..
As also India and West Indies have identical origins, their DNAs are the same...
Indians feel proud on WI than any other Western Nations.
These cricketers are our illustrative brothers...
We love all of them for their might, power, endurance and commitment and for their never say die attitude.
They all ruled the cricket world for a long time..
Roberts,Marshall and Ambrose are best.
Spell by Roberts in placid Chepauk wicket 1976 is best spell by a fast bowler in India.
I could not see the ball clearly. What fast deliveries those were. It was as if jeff thomson was bowling in his prime. It was astonishing how he could generate such terrific pace with such a short stature.
Greatest bowler of all time (to me). Hero of my childhood.
Sunil Gavaskar scored 10+ centuries against this type of bowlers. 😲😲
also was out for zero in Kanpur Test (twice) against this fury!!!After '83 World Cup win!
Sunil Gavaskar also score a century in the first session of day 1 vs these bowlers
Gavaskars and Tendulkars scored many centuries selfishly while India kept on losing matches😁
His bat literally fell as he was dodging Marshall's bouncers, with so many body gears...
Gaveskar was great too but against MM, nahh!
I still remember vividly that Malcom Marshall toured India in the year 1979 under the captainship of Alvin Kallicharan, who helmed the much much depleted WI, which was badly hit by Kerry Packer circus. Once truce was made and order restored, the big guys Andy Roberts, Michael Holding , Joel Garner returned to WI and they all formed a potent bowling attack , virtually unplayable. They just blew away the opposing teams into submission..They were the days of sublime cricket. Mike Gatting had his nose flattened by a Marshall bouncer. With a fearsome diagonal pacy run up, he sent shudders down the spines of batsmen of his era..It is really saddening that he died very young.
I remember Mike Gatting's bloody nose!
The deadliest man, he will remain in our hearts ❤️❤️
He was "POCKET DYNAMITE" on 22 yards....the G.O.A.T✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
When I pick my "Fantasy Best 11" Malcolm shares the new ball with...someone else. He's the best quick I've seen. I remember him bowling to Graeme Wood at the MCG in a 1 day game and I actually felt frightened for the batsman. Unless you saw him, it's very hard to get across just how fast he was - and he bowled a very heavy ball. You could hear it thud into the batsman from the boundary fence.
And watching it on TV you don't realize how far back the wicket-keeper stands
Without taking a jump at the time of quick delivery ،he was best fast bowler in the world ،only Gavaskar ،Miandad and British opener Boycott could face him very well۔Slute him RIP۔
Mohd Saqlain Haridwar India
The Australians weren't too bad against him, even tho they got softened up by Roberts/Garner and Holding lol
Had one of the most lethal bouncers of all time. Super fast arm and he could hit folk at will as it he never wasted any. So glad to have seen this
The line, height, awkwardness of these bouncers is amazing
Free
Imagine playing against 4 guys where each one of them is capable of murdering you on the pitch. Massive respects to the batsmen of that era.
MARSHALL WOULD HAVE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AS A 'GREAT' " OR A 'LEGEND' IN ANY ERA - RIP MALCOLM YOU WERE IMMENSE!!.
Some of the guys facing Marshall in that vid were brought up on the fastest bounciest wickets in the world, and faced seriously quick nasty bowlers regularly. Graeme Wood and Bruce Laird for instance opened the batting on the Perth wicket for a long time. Facing this WI attack was nothing new to them in terms of pace and short balls, but they were on another level with accuracy and uncanny lift off a good length. Possibly the worst incident i recall was David Hookes (RIP) had his jaw shattered in a world series game about 1978 (i think??) by Andy Roberts, who showed no mercy or regret at all and considered himself the spiritual leader of the WI attack, which he was. Roberts was magnificent and the best i saw....Marshall came along at a slightly later time as the next big thing. He had a more friendly disposition and character. Holding was the quickest of the WI...Thomson was even quicker when fit and in form. There was a tour in the 70's to the WI and when it was finished Thomson had left a legacy and scared the hell out of everyone from Jamaica to Guyana....generally considered the fastest ever. Marshall was deadly accurate with a short ball at good pace...my guess around that 140-150kph level. Holding could produce very short shock spells of extreme pace 150-165ish stuff. Andy Roberts was the classic nice guy with an evil case of white line fever...wonderful bowler and the one that top class bats were most concerned about facing. They were all lovely nice guys until you put a ball in their hand and given a mission. Colin Croft another awkward quick with a wild action that could put you in hospital very fast. Nicest guy you'd ever meet. It wasnt all ducking and avoiding bouncers like in the vid...in general the WI attack dominated but the guys pictured played some magnificent pull and hook shots to these short balls....as well as great defence dropping throat balls at their feet. WI attack was just another level. Marshall's best short ball was that awkward height at the throat...lethal and it took many wickets with batsmen fending him off.
Malcolm marshall would have bowled 145kph-155kph at his quickest may be even more
Awesome, aggressive, intimidating fast bowling. Just too good. What an awesome bowler !
He was a genius.It is still a mystery how he generated so much pace!Short stature,short run up & normal physique.He used to bowl with intelligence.
Babu Moshay - Being short, may be its your prerogative. The short guys, Shivaji, Mahatma Gandhi, Shastry ji - All were really short.

as a Hampshire supporter and cricket fan, i love Malcolm Marshall. Its a real mans game .
He used bowl like this at the start of the day and still steaming in at the end of the day. A real Hampshire hero👍
Todays T20 batters should have been facing this bowler....
@shrinivas hegde: Then they would come to know what fast and furious bowling is. I don't think any batsman of this time could play this fast and furious bowling so easily.
I love him maan. One of the greatest fast bowlers of all time and he could swing the ball too. God gifted. I will always love maan.
I stood behind Gordon Greenidge having nets at Lords Cricket ground 1980 tour. Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding were bowling . Even though there was no chance of me being hit by the ball, I still flinched by the skidding speed of Marshall and the thunderous sound of ball to bat from Holding, WOW!!
Who was the faster of the two?
@@utsav52 Malcolm Marshall seem quicker at the time, although Holding wasn't off his full run up.
@@successschhoolofmotoring but many experts(former cricket players) which I listened to were of the opinion that Holding was the fastest bowler ever and faster than tha fastest.. These players who reckon him to b the fastest ever are Imran Khan, Jeff Thomson and Geoffrey boycott
@@utsav52 May be so but Viv Richards says that Jeff Thompson was the fastest as well as other batsman. I suppose it's subjective.
3:14 shows you how far back the keeper is positioned. Great pace
Is not like today wicked brother batting wicked from 1990 ..
Today keepers keeping around 20-22 yard
Love his superbly clean bowling action !!!
1st feeling - Your best ever
2nd para - goose bumps
Stretches are strength and they touched bro, fantastic
Scary.
Immense talent.
Respect to International batsmen of the time who faced up; I'd have been shitting bricks.
those were the days when batsmen used to be literally scared of fast bowlers of West Indies...today no one could imagine the scare of Marshall or Garner. They were extremely dangerous.
Most feared bowler those days ! Many batsmen used shiver when starts running
He was incredible! The pace he generated to bowl such agresive short balls is outstanding for shorter man ! As everything evolves one day there will be a 6FT 8 malcon Marshall!!!!
He created such a pace with short curved run toward the wicket and formed awkward angle .Before you knew it ball whizzed past the bat. Many a times even great Gavaskar was exasperated by these deliveries with ending with Dujon catching them off his bat. No doubt it was great to watch this battery of West Indian fast bowlers.
Marshall should never have been able to sustain that pace or generate those bouncers.Yet he did. If you look at the action he ran in very quickly and seemed to develop a very fast arm action rythmically All the co ordination was excellent and it never seemed to tire him that much.Other quick bowlers needed much longer run ups and were quite exhausted after very fast bowling over time.
Being a shorter WI fast bowler he needed to find an edge. Pace, aggression, movement. Such a talent.
What memories remember you opening the batting Ronald tree cricket for parkinson'school way back in 1970 , year's after to be the greatest fast bowler of this generation RIP my friend
I saw MCC v Rest of the world at Lords in 1987. Some of the best players in the world at that time were on display. Amongst the bowlers were Richard Hadlee, Imran Khan, Kapil Dev, Courtney Walsh and Malcolm Marshall. Marshall was so much quicker and more hostile than any of the others.
When you don't get wickets, start with Bodyline bowling..
Credits:
Malcolm Marshall
Micheal Holding
So does sportsmanship come into picture? Or does it get retire hurt on seeing the stature of such bowlers?
Today if someone tries to bowl on one's bodyline, he will have to listen alot. But not them because they are legends. Those were the days...
Body line bowling different
Kudos to the batsmen of those times, including our great Gavaskar, who faced such brutal pace bowling. Sunny didn't even wore a helmet. If it's Marshal at one end it will be Holding at the other end. Then comes Roberts and Garner. Hooooh! Nowadays you have so much protection, concussion test etc.

Big name. I respect
Man even 35 years later you still get scared watching him run in
Best I saw, since the late 1970's till now.
No doubt Malcolm Marshall was the greatest bowler in those days. His run up is very good and from starting to delivery of the ball. Fast is no matter our Sunny Gavaskar played very well against Windies without helmet. He wore only Skull and cap, hand pads, glouses. His un beaten of 236 against Windies in Madras is great. Especially facing Marshall. Many boundaries in his unbeaten 236.
No, Sunny didn't play well consistently in the "revenge" series. Marshall created huge problems for Sunny by going around the wicket & bowl short at him. He got Sunny 5 or 6 times in that series. So much so that in Chepauk, Gavaskar came in at #4. And after the inital hostility was seen off he made his 236.
@@MrSudeepdas Not the Chepauk test. In the Ahmedabad test in the same series, Gavaskar scored gusty 90 runs when other batsmen were struggling.
A true cricketing great , taken from us at a too young age !
So miss Macca, I was lucky to meet him a few times, whilst he was playing for Hampshire
his run up and style indicated how much energy went into those red bullets ...miss watching MM ..a legend
I truly realise after watching this brutal pace and bounce how tall sunny Gavaskar was 5.5? why was he called little master ?

Nobody was bowling like this back then - apart from MM.
I'm impressed & surprised from his run-up
Too nasty bouncer nightmare for batters
Killer bowler he was
Yeah batting looks fun there!!! Great bowling from a legend of the game.
I saw Marshall in 1978 vs South Zone in Hyderabad. He was very young and played for west indies second team. Main team refused to travel to India then.
Why? What was the reason? West indies even visited Pakistan in 1985 I guess
@Gandhara, West indies team was playing Kerry Packer league. So main team was absent in India tour.
But the full came to India in 1983 after the world cup which we won. But in that series we lost all the one day internationals and also the test series.
Full team came to India...
The legendary fast bowler 🙏🙏🙏
Playing cricket in the 80's i wanted to emulate Malcolm Marshall as I was a medium/fast bowler and tried his angled run up on some bouncers etc. Remember Martin Crowe and the NZ cricket team copping an onslaught from the famous West Indies line up in Georgetown from memory around 1985. Martin Crowe was the only batsman that scored any runs which weren't many. The rest of the team folded so kudos to Malcolm Marshall, a cricketing legend and probably the most feared fast bowler of all time.
Awesome. Perfection
Continue to rest well legend...MM.
Back in the day when the West Indian fast bowlers were the most feared in the world, sadly no longer.
Good god the list of quicks they had back in the day.. Marshall, Roberts, garner, croft, and then backed up with ambrose, bishop, Walsh and others.. just fearsome for decades!

Can someone please post a video of maco's bouncer that broke Mike gatting's nose ?
hurpar
I have looked everywhere for this with absolutely no luck. It clearly wasn't filmed.
How do you get your kicks; casualty?
Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding, Courtney Walsh, Patrick Patterson, Curtly Ambrose ... what a terrifying lineup of fast bowlers Windies had
Wonder how the relatively short Jeff Dujon could keep for these guys
Sylvester Clark, Colin Croft, Tony Gray, Ian Bishop.
Joel Garner.
GREAT TO SEE THE LEGENDS
He was one of the Greatest Bowler ever
Real Cricket played on those surfaces with Red Cherry . There used to be intense competition, and crowds used to enjoy it. Now it’s only entertainment.
Saw Marshall bowl an over in a club charity match , He bowled a bumper , Off cutter , away swinger , leg cutter , Inswinger and a slower ball in the same over !!!
Absolute genius with the ball and masterful control with it 😊
Today's batsmen just plant their front foot and play. . With Marshall bowls bouncer with same action. He will bowl cutter outswinger next ball after pushing batsmen back in the crease with bouncer. Genius
. Marshall. Greatness of Gavaskar, Srikanth, vishy, Amarnath now you can see.
If MS Dhoni played such matches then he would have been dismissed in the first ball itself by such legend bowlers
Virat chokli would have been be dead against Marshall
Tmlogo ko dhoni se prblm kya h?
Kisi ka success dekha ni jata h kya tmlog se?

And Virat Kohli too
@@sanchitchanda3569 virat, dhoni, rohit could not score 10 runs against this kind of bowling
Inki qismat acchi thi
The helmet meant a lot of batsman didn't spent time to effect proper technique
RIP Marshall, my all time favourite.
Imagine how our Little Master Sunil Gavaskar faced those fearsome bowling without helmet. Hats off to our Genius Batsman Sunil Gavaskar for facing all those deadly bowlers as an Opener and furthermore without helmet. Many Many Salutation to the bravery of All time Greatest Opener, True Legend Sunil Sir...
Sunil Gavaskar may be your personal god. But in those days, he was never more than #3 in the world batsman rankings. Behind Viv Richards and Greg Chappell. Watch enough RUclips videos and you will understand why.
@fjas; Might be true. But I dont understand the logic behind this. Ofcourse Viv is a greatest batsman. But one thing is that he didn't as much deadly fast bowlers as Sunny because all the fast bowlers were playing for WI. And as far as I know he struggled a bit against the swing of Kapil Dev during 1983 test series in india.
@@fjasdfjdsakfjalfsjdalksfakjlk Greg Chappel are you kidding? Chappel not even my top 50 cricketer list Viv Richards may be great but can't match level of gavaskar the great
