Malcolm Marshall
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Malcolm Marshall (April 18, 1958 - November 4, 1999) was a West Indian cricketer.
Probably will go down in history as the best West Indian fast bowler of all time, and one of the best ever from anywhere. Made his name with out-and-out pace, despite his medium height (5' 10 1/2"), becoming prominent in the WI team in 1983 (after more senior fellow fast bowlers Colin Croft and Sylvester Clarke went on a rebel tour to South Africa), and became a very intelligent bowler who could do a lot with the ball in his later years. Was instrumental in many of the WIian wins in the eighties.
He died of colon cancer in 1999.
