1 Malcolm Marshall ends Andy Lloyd's career, Edgbaston,1984

Playing against the fearsome West Indian pace attack was perhaps the most daunting of challenges for all batsmen of a certain era but in case of a debutant, it takes the form of an even greater challenge.
English debutant opener Andy Lloyd learned a harsh lesson when Malcolm Marshall smashed him on the side of the head with a fearsome bouncer off only the 17th delivery that he faced in Test cricket.
The ball was incredibly quick and even before Lloyd could sway out of the line, it hit him flush on the side of his head.
Even though he was wearing a helmet, the blow proved to be lethal as he collapsed to the ground. Lloyd was taken to the hospital, where he spent a week but complained of blurred vision. He never played for England again although he continued to score runs in first-class cricket for Warwickshire.
