***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

I have my tv on mute. Why did they bring up the great Malcolm Marshall's stats?
I think they might have been comparing one of the current English bowlers like Atkinson to him with his ability to swing it both ways.

Malcolm Marshall was the master at swinging at both ways at extreme pace plus he could throw in a nasty bouncer or two, a nightmare to face.

He was a nightmare to face on the field but one of the nicest guys off it, a tragedy he died so young at just 41, a true cricket legend.

Joseph into my bad books after that drop off my Potts there

I know Potts as Marley not after Bob but a housing estate in Sunderland

It was more in relation to Chandimal and his hand injury.

They brought up the subject of the great man coming out to bat one handed, slashing Paul Allott for 4 I'm the process.

Another drop, Pottsie having no luck.

That makes more sense, comparing one of the current English bowlers to Marshall is ridiculous, none of them are in his class, not many bowlers are.

Atkinson went down in instalments there

Potts really unlucky in this spell
