Marshall suffered a partially broken arm against England in the Headingley Test of 1984. Despite the critical nature of his arm, he came out to bat valiantly at no.11 to enable a century for teammate Larry Gomes. With injured Marshall’s support, Gomes scored a century. Also, in the second innings, Marshall bowled and took a whopping 7 wickets to help his country record an 8 wicket win over the Three Lions.
