Marshall easily.

Marshall.

Our batting looks to be very, very slightly stronger than the Windies of 2003 (although any team with Capel @ 6 & Downton @ 7 would struggle to be called a vintage line-up) but Harmy's spell really was one of those sit-up moments.

I think, despite the patriotic urges I'll have to go for Marshall tho.

But if Harmy had've got BCL I'd have definitely voted for him!

[aussie]

tight one this, I was there in Jamaica when Harmison just blew the windies away in the 2nd innings with the test match evenly poised on first innings, but Marshall took 7 with a broken arm by all reports, i'll give it to Hurricane Harmison because i was there.

 

[Tony Blade]

Laker, can't argue with a 10-fer..No matter what...

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Lillee's spell is close to the best I've ever watched. Just wonderful. Have to vote for Laker though, it's 10...
