"Marshall Drive" has been posted with information on Roy and Malcolm's birth and death years.
Roy Marshall only played four times for the West Indies, but scored over 30,000 runs for Hampshire between 1953-1972. Malcolm became one of the most feared fast bowlers cricket has ever seen playing in 81 tests, and he served his beloved club between 1979 and 1993 taking well over 1,000 wickets, before in retirement he joined the coaching staff.
