5 great West Indies cricketers from the 80s and their modern day equivalents

#3 Malcolm Marshall – Sunil Narine

Marshall and Narine may be different types of bowlers but they still have similarities

Iconic West Indies paceman Malcolm Marshall is widely regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers to have set foot on a cricket field. What made Marshall extremely special was the fact that he was an intelligent bowler and rarely allowed the batsman to anticipate what was coming at them.

Although it is impossible to find a player in the current West Indies unit who can match up to his standards, the only one who comes anywhere near is Sunil Narine. Just like Marshall, Narine, too, never gives the batsmen a clue about what he will dish out and can be extremely difficult to pick.

Malcolm Marshall was easily the biggest bowling star in the West Indies team during his playing days. At present, Sunil Narine tops the popularity charts in his team’s bowling department across both limited-overs formats.
