10 best players of all time from Hampshire

3 Malcolm Marshall

Malcolm Marshall

Among the many international stars who have played for Hampshire over the course of the past decades, no other player was probably greater than West Indian fast bowling star Malcolm Marshall.

Marshall was arguably the greatest fast bowler that the West Indies ever produced and he played for Hampshire for 14 years (1979 to 1993). The Barbadian rose to become one of the biggest stars of the county circuit during those years and it is not surprising considering what he was doing in international cricket at the time.

He played in 210 first-class games for Hampshire and picked up an incredible 826 wickets at an average of only 18.64. There should be no doubt that he is perhaps the greatest bowler to have ever represented the county.
