List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Malcolm Marshall explained

Malcolm Marshall, a former right-arm fast bowler, represented the West Indies cricket team in 81 Tests between 1978 and 1992.[1] In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer")[2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,[3] and, only 54 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers.[4] In Test cricket, Marshall took 376 wickets, including 22 five-wicket hauls.[1] [5] The cricket almanack Wisden described him as "one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time",[6] and named him one of their Cricketers of the Year in 1983.[7] He was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame as an inaugural member in January 2009.[8] [9] Mark Nicholas, a cricket commentator, once wrote that former Pakistan captain, Imran Khan, "calls Malcolm the greatest of all fast bowlers".[10]

Marshall made his Test debut in December 1978 against India at the Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium, Bangalore.[11] His first five-wicket haul came in March 1983 against the same team at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain; he took 5 wickets for 37 runs.[12] In December 1984, against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, he took a five-wicket haul in both innings of a Test match for the first time.[13] He repeated this feat once more in his career, against India at the Queen's Park Oval in April 1989.[14] Marshall's career-best bowling figures for an innings were 7 wickets for 22 runs against England at Old Trafford, Manchester, in June 1988.[15] He took 9 wickets for 41 runs in the match; West Indies won the match by an innings and 156 runs, and he was awarded man of the match for his performance.[16] Marshall was most successful against Australia taking seven five-wicket hauls.[15] He took ten or more wickets in a match on four occasions.[17]

Marshall made his One Day International (ODI) debut against England at Headingley, Leeds, during the 1980 Prudential Trophy.[18] He never took a five-wicket haul in ODIs; his career-best figures for an innings were 4 wickets for 18 runs against Australia in 1991, a match West Indies lost at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[19] [20] As of 2013, Marshall is sixteenth overall among all-time combined five-wicket haul takers.
