A Special Feature on Hamish
Marshall by Karthik Narayan
The cricket world has always welcomed the entry of an
enterprising cricketer with open arms and gleeful smiles all
around the environment. It is that very eruption of happiness
on the faces of many that gladdens and encourages the newcomer
to escalate himself on top of the ladder pronto. One such
exciting prospect on the cricketing stage is Hamish John
Hamilton Marshall.
Hamish Marshall’s career has not been long enough to really
gauge him but he has shown exceptional talent and skill in his
brief stints – his Test Debut came in the 2000 New Zealand
tour of South Africa at Johannesburg in December 2000. He came
in at No.7, and had a nice knock of 40. But somehow that
battling knock in rain hit conditions wasn’t good enough for
the selectors to retain him. He had to wait a long 3 years in
the sidelines before he was finally named to play for the ODI
series in Pakistan. In his ODI debut itself, he played well
for 55, and followed it with a century in his third ODI itself
– cracking 101* against Pakistan in the third ODI at
Faisalabad. Even that wasn’t enough to save his team win the
match, but his name had been locked into the middle order.
His good run of form continued when he got a 62 in the 5th
ODI.
