#2 Malcolm Marshall
The West Indies have been blessed with some of the best fast bowlers the game has ever seen, and the finest among them was undoubtedly Barbados' very own Malcolm Marshall. Marshall was not the tallest fast bowler, but could bowl as quickly as anyone else and in addition to that, swing the ball both ways and also move it off the seam. Despite his height, he could deliver almost unplayable bouncers.
Throughout his career, he terrorised batsmen from all over the world, and in 81 Test matches between 1978 and 1991, he picked up 376 wickets at an average of 20.04. However, what was even more staggering was his strike rate of 46.7. He played 136 one-dayers as well and picked up 157 wickets with an economy rate of 3.53 and an average of 26.96.
