God help me - the Test Cricket thread

Patrick Patterson was less known but a lot of batters of that era said he was the most dangerous... Easy to forget Marshall and then later Ambrose, it was a never ending line of quality quicks. Marshall gets forgotten but his record is sensational and while smaller in stature he was highly skilled and bowled players out rather than blasting them out.

Watching live Marshalls run in was something to behold, very long and very very fast.  Then he would unleash the ball and you wouldn't see anything until the batsman hit it or the keeper caught it.
