Terrifying! Express pace. Malcolm Marshall's 5 wicket haul vs Australia 4th Test SCG 1988/89

[@lsimmo78]

Malcolm Marshall was poetry in motion when in full flight.

[@michaelhehir8116]

Can’t separate Marshall from Lillee and Akram as the best fast bowlers I have seen in 50 years of watching.

[@cquilty1]

@michaelhehir8116 A shame you missed Garner, Hadlee, Donald, Ambrose, Proctor, Andy Roberts, Steyn, Holding and Bumrah in those 50 years...

[@sanjayarora2353]

Lilee cheater tha Marshall akram steyn Donald megrath holding all are super talented & in modern era Bumrah is also a genius

[@sanjayarora2353]

I have seen marshall Live in 83 touring India, At Ground his ball looks lightening

[@colingeddes2172]

Totaly agree. Those 3 wud be my top 3.

[@cquilty1]

@@sanjayarora2353 indians always hating on Lillee. Probably because he was a man's man who had a backbone and charisma. And he was also a bit of a villain/bad boy. Which is good for cricket! And most of the time it's just an act. If you see Lillee interviewed, he's a very pleasant, relaxed guy.

[@philipmccarthy8415]

Absolute great bowler with pace and accuracy so sad he passed away young😢

[@NaturalSpring-k5p]

Yeah just 41 years. Died of colon cancer.

[@k.r.seetharaman8855]

Pace skiddy accurate and SWING that's MM. I have never seen anybody that gets the swing at that pace. Waqar and Washim also are in that category but far far from Malcolm Marshall

[@arunaramachandran801]

That bouncer to Steve Waugh...😮😮😮😮 How quickly it went to keeper's glove....Rest in peace Champion 😢

[@MrPeriyachi]

I was in my about 10 -15yrs then and i hv seen this team who won against every other team in the world. So many bastmen terrified to face Malcolm Marshal and myself try to imitate his bowling action. One of world best produced bowlers. Then West Indies Team was the ultimate team in the whole word. Happy memories again. Thanks for posting

[@temp850]

As an aussie, I love Dennis Lillee but to my mind, Malcolm stands alone as the best. 🙏✌️

[@ProsecutionaccCusomsChennai-VI]

Rightly said

[@mahindraramsaywack2386]

Pure class from a terrific bowler

[@markmcdonald9260]

Best pace bowler i have seen.

[@terryallen5328]

Express pace moving it both ways off the seam with a viscous skiddy bouncer. Yep world class. RIP M.M.

[@colinmackenzie6277]

MALCOLM DEVON MARSHALL - 👏 A Titan amongst cricketers, whether batting with a broken hand, or bowling DEADLY EXPRESS.... Taken to soon 😢

[@chicagoan6342]

Malcolm Denzil Marshall! Not Devon!!!

[@rizkhan3368]

What a Bowler he was!

[@Dybbouk]

How did he bowl so quick? He was not as big and strong like the others. He didn't run in quick. But his arm kind of accelerated in the delivery action.

[@rgudduu]

Yes i have always wondered that question

[@sugoshiyer1540]

He was unique - right amount of nippy , right amount of line & length , right amount of movement off the seam - and he finished with an average of 20 in test match ; Bumrah is somewhat similiar - not big or strong but hard to read off the wicket

[@rgudduu]

@@sugoshiyer1540 question is not what he managed to produce, but how he managed that. The mechanism.

[@MrGunwitch]

Fast twitch fibres. Marshall was the consummate athlete, the greatest fast bowler of all time.

[@dfb1976]

Malcolm the magnificent

[@NarendranAshok]

The West Indies team of the 1980s had 2 match winners - Viv Richards with the bat and Malcolm Marshall with the ball.

[@TheBundleofkent]

Two?????? You’re kidding right?

[@NarendranAshok]

@@TheBundleofkent , Not at all.

[@TheBundleofkent]

@@NarendranAshok The whole fucking team were match winners: Greenidge, Haynes, Richardson, Gomes, Lloyd, Dujon, Garner, Holding, Roberts. This is why they were the greatest team of them all. If you meant “ Richards and Marshall” were two of the greatest cricketers that ever lived, then I would agree with that statement. Choose your words more accurately.

[@NarendranAshok]

@@TheBundleofkent , I agree with ur reply. All of them were equally talented.

[@michaellancuba5507]

Roberts, holding, garner and Croft, Greenidge, Haynes, LIoyd, Richardson

[@TheBundleofkent]

Like Hadlee, Maco was so good he could get five-for’s on SCG wickets that were slow and turning square . To me, the greatest all round fast bowler there has ever been

[@srini9653]

Those were my school days, I used to emulate not just bowling but even to run to a local-shop like the great Malcom Marshal. Respect from India!

[@darionjackson8693]

I myself can't believe that the express train has ran out of steam and tracks and now has to be taken out of service rest in , Malcolm Marshall, rest in peace and rise in glory

[@GOODTHINKER53]

*Greatest bowler to ever play this game of cricket 🙏 Sir Malcom Marshal 🙏*

[@NPA1001]

Been watching cricket since 1980.. Marshall is the best fast bowler I ever saw

[@ramachandran8630]

What a great pace bowler, but we are not lucky to have him alive. May his soul rest in peace.

[@pat1589]

Marshall. Hadlee. Lillee. Akram. The 4 best bowlers in my opinion.

@pat1589 Garner and Ambrose...

@@pat1589 Basketball is duller than watching paint dry. It's heart warming that kids like you who are new to cricket are aware of past players 👏👏 Garner most certainly *is* in the conversation as you've mentioned him in your last two posts, kiddo ! ! And with a test bowling average of 20.97 and strike rate of 50.8 (superior to Hadlee, Lillee and Akram), so he should be. Has your dad taken you to a live cricket match yet? The 1st one is so exciting ! !!

[@vantagev8331]

It wasn’t the fact that Marshall was fast; he was just such an intelligent bowler who could work most batsman out with seam, swing, pace and guile.

[@manishnirwal1676]

Please upload more Curtly ambrose videos of this same series

[@jonrichardson8461]

The amazing thing about this game- Marshall took 5/29 off 31 overs but Australia scored 401 in nearly 200 overs, and won the match. Thanks to Border, Australia’s 3rd spinner, taking 11 wickets in the match!

[@rizkhan3368]

Still Australia Lost the series

As an ardent sport enthusiast my order of merit in fast-Seam bowlers is 1.Malcolm Marshall. Holding,Imraan,Hadlee,Waseem,Ambrose n Magrath at joint 2nd followed by Lilly,Kapil,Botham n few others as well as joint third best ever !!

You can see why Steve Waugh became a better batsman over time. He had to contend with the likes of Malcolm Marshall earlier in his career.

[@raajac2720]

Rip Malcolm Marshall, unfortunately world of cricket not like both are same team King viv and fearsome Marshall.

[@jshaers96]

A great bowler but you couldn't tell young bowlers to copy him because his action was unique. I don't know how he did it, sprinting in and then releasing the ball as though uncoiling a spring. I only saw him once and he was the definition of a skiddy. bowler, where it you felt that the ball gathered pace after pitching.

[@Vinodkumar-fg1qm]

Had Marshall been an Indian bowler he would have been highest wicket taker of all time.

[@AshishBagade-hv4el]

He wasn’t express pace prolly 138-142kmph

[@dms8504]

He was in his prime. He toned it down slightly towards the later 80's but added more variation in doing so.

[@amitjain11000]

much slower than what we saw in India in 1983.
