He continued his form against England later in 1984 with 24 wickets as Clive Lloyd's side beat England 5-0 in a five-match Test series.
West Indies' dominance in the world of cricket continued for a decade after which it waned and subsequently lead to totally decline.
On November 4, 1999, Malcolm Marshall died after being diagnosed with colon cancer. He was just 41.
Decades have passed but cricket lovers around the world are awestruck to this day at the exploits of Clive Lloyd's dominant team, and of course the great Malcolm Marshall, one of the best bowlers of all time.
