Malcolm Marshall
376 Test wickets at 20.94, the most feared of the great quartet
Overview
Marshall combined skiddy pace with vicious late swing and cut, taking 376 Test wickets at 20.94 with the best strike rate of the legendary West Indian quicks. At Headingley in 1984 he batted one handed with a fractured thumb to save a match he had dominated with the ball. He died in 1999 at 41.
