Did anyone master Malcolm Marshall during his peak?

Re: Did anyone master Marshall during his peak?

MR__KHAN__JI, aren't you a :kami fan ?

Only to the extent he's better than anyone else we have tried.

I think he's rubbish.

People get confused when I defend a player that should be in the XI despite being rubbish.

UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT IS BETTER I WILL DEFEND THE INCUMBENT.

Re: Did anyone master Marshall during his peak?

Fact remains that ATGs like Sobers and Richards rate Gavaskar as the best opener of their times.And thats their word againist No bodies on a anonymous forum.

Didn't say that wasnt a fact...

People have their own preferences.

 

[James]

I saw a lot of him.

In 1984 he bowled with a broken left wrist and took 7-27 to start the First Blackwash. He was extremely fast and hostile thoughout the series, pushing the boundaries of the intimidation law.

In 1987, in the MCC Bicentenary exhibition match at Lord's he opened the bowling with Hadlee and made him look like a country trundler.

In 1988 he was down on pace but still took 35 wickets in the five-test series, averaging 12 and striking every 35 balls.

By 1991 he was operating as first-change behind Ambrose and Patterson but still took 20 wickets, average 22. Gooch played the best innings I ever saw, carrying his bat for 151 on a Headingley greentop under heavy cloud, as Marshall beat him again, and again, and again but couldn't get a nick.

Stylistically Steyn is similar, but Maco at his peak was quicker. Best fast bowler I ever saw.

Thanks for the information - I truly think I missed out on some of the best times But I am also happy to have witnessed many of the almost-as-good ones

If I asked you who Lillee was... you'll tell me it is a stupid question.
If I asked you who Taslim Arif was..... you may now know him. Just look how he neutralized Lillee in pakistan.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63264.html
The guy was good enough for only three tests afterwards.

Point is ... if no name wicket keeper can beat the crap out of Lillee... Gavaskar can certainly do it too.... on deader than dead wickets.




Looks like I need to give you history lesson .... about YOUR OWN TEAM?


I have already talked about home tests at Indian roads.


Gavaskar playedfollowing three series in West Indies:

1971:

Runs:774 Ave: 154.80 Hundreds: 4
Which "class", "fast" and "furious" bowlers did he face?
See in you (or anybody) recognize any names???

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...tting_bowling_by_team.html?id=175;type=series

Noreiga (who?? ) was the highest wicket taker in the series. He career total of tests: a whopping FOUR!.

Sobers was the 2nd highest wicket taker.... at a end of his career..... which started in mid 50s.

1976:

Runs: 390 Ave: 55.71 Hundreds: 2

Both 100s were scored on the spinning wickets of Port-of-Spain....where India played THREE spinners in both test and even West Indies play 2 spinners in first test and THREE spinners in the 2nd test!
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63161.html
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63160.html
Yet.... chasing 406 in last innings was no mean feat. I'll give him that!


Bowlers faced in that series.
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...tting_bowling_by_team.html?id=175;type=series

Holding: Highest wicket taker.... playing in his 2nd series.... very erratic (no line and length) and was hit all over the park by Aussies in his debut series.

Julian: 4 tests: Slower than Razzaq. Check him out on youtube.

Holder 2 tests: Who?

Roberts: Played with injury and played in only two test....

Daniel: Played in only 1 test.



1983:

Runs: 240 Ave: 30.00 Hundreds: 1

THis is the only time he faced a full fledged WI attack. One big innings of 147* .... brings his average up to 30 in the series. No fifty!

GREAT WINDIES ATTACK WERE NEVER NEUTRALISED IN INDIA not before that 1987 series here when they lost most of those bowlers.
Your bringing Lilliee in the picture doesn't prove anything.
Don't you know that Aussie , Kiwi and English pacers have mostly struggled in Asia? Even Mcgrath and co. got it right in their last tour here in India.
WI (that great lineup) ,SA and your own Pakistan attack are the ones which were not neutered by these pitches.
Your trying to prove otherwise is very surprising.
only to put Gavaskar down?

and Yes, even facing 2 of those great bowlers from Windies was tough . How many OPENERS have done better than Gavaskar against them?

His 158 versus India was a nice special!!!!

 

[Bilbo]

Did anyone master Marshall during his peak?

Two out of Qadir, Tauseef and Iqbal Qasim played each of those 5 tests. In fact for the final test, Qadir was dropped for Saleem Jaffer, India played an extra seamer in Binny as the pitch was widely expected to be seamer friendly.

Maybe, but, I have my opinion and I still stick to it.

 

[Rahul1]

Of course must have been an indian superman who did it..

So who do you think it should have been? ?

 

[Tusker]

Yes: Mohinder Amarnath in the West Indies in 82-83.

Marshall was brilliant, he took 21 wickets at 23, bowling at around 160K into the ribs of the batsmen from round the wicket.

But Jimmy scored 598 runs in nine innings, with two hundreds and four fifties.

5 years and a whole lot of fact checking and debunking myths later where does that Marshall speed rating stand now ? Still 160k or climbed down drastically?

 

[jnaveen1980]

https://www.rediff.com/sports/1999/nov/05marsha.htm

Marshall's no.1 enemy was vengsarkar. Vengy made him cry by constantly appealing when Malcom was batting. He got his revenge. He was holding it for years. But he rated Mohinder highly as he himself has admitted.

". This was because of their much-vaunted batting, only Amarnath was finding it comfortable to cope with our pace and our tactics. He scored centuries in the Tests at Trinidad and Antigua, Gavaskar managed only one, in Guyana, and Vengsarkar none at all"

 

[jnaveen1980]

Srikkanth vs Marshall was fun too. In one of the match He hit Marshall's first ball for 6 followed by a 4 and then he got out. Later in the 80s he pulverized Marshall at Adelaide oval.

 

[greatest]

I have read his interviews in several magazines of the 80's and he rates Gooch and Border very highly.

 

[Harsh Thakor]

Alan Lamb was also brilliant against Malcolm Marshall.3 centuries in 1984 at home and a few in the Carribean.At his best in 1983 Mohinder Amarnath unquestionably and then Alan Border in 1981-82 and 1984.Consistency Dilip Vengsarkar is also a strong candidate who has 4 centuries against the great attack and topped averages on 1983-84 and 1987-88 home tours.Toawrds the late 1980's Javed Miandad wa stoo outstanding like in 1988 .

 

[Harsh Thakor]

At his best Gavaskar was class act against him but not consistent.His 90 at Ahmedbad on bad wicket was classic as well as his 129 at Ahmedanad.

Overall my best were Amarnath,Border,Vengsarkar,Gooch and Gavaskar.

 

[jeetu]

Marshall was remarkably consistent. In his career he only average over 40 twice of which 1 was rookie year. And only one more where he averaged above 30.
Great run from 1980 to 1991.
