Time for Round 3.

A bit easier this one. Malcolm Marshall could easily be in the all time Test XI.
I always say that everybody's right.

Have to be careful not to be biased towards players I have seen, but I think Marshall is the correct pick from this list.

Yep, I wanted to pick Grimmet, if for nothing else, his name,

I couldn't go past Marshall though.

I guess it has to be Marshall ; though I feel a little disloyal to Brian Statham who was my role model as a youthful fast bowler...

Also had to suppress a devilish desire to select Mankad on the grounds that his name is eternally linked with a particular questionable action that periodically sets the Internet aflame when someone gets a little too committed to "win at all costs" :)

Which ...I think is regrettable....was a bit of a trail blazer in his day and sad that he epitaph is a piece of bowling akullduggery

Some may see it more a case of "play within the rules and win", Alfie...
