10 Cricketers Who Played Through Injuries 2

 

He is the greatest ever fast bowler in the history of cricket. In the 1986 England tour, his two fingers were broken on the first morning of the Headingley Test. England felt they have gotten a massive advantage. They scored 270 in the first innings with Allan Lamb scored 100 and Michael Holding took four wickets with 70 runs.

On Day three Larry Gomes and Michael Holding built an 80 run partnership that ensured West Indies the first-innings lead.  When Joel Garner was the ninth man to come to bat Gomes was batting on 96. The spectators thought that the match was going to be drawn.  But Marshal batting with one hand ensured Gomes’ hundred. English fielders smiled and Marshal also smiled them back.  But very soon the smile of English cricketers disappeared.

Marshall was the last man to out. But as England came to bat, Marshal started bowling with Garner.  He shocked England as he took seven wickets conceding 53 runs. England were all out for 159 as West Indies won the match by eight wickets in hand.
