James is perhaps best known for a game against the Indians in 1996 when he took a record equaling four wickets in four balls,and followed it up with a hundred later in the match. These Indian wickets included Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. The Cricinfo report from the match claimed that no-one,in the history of cricket,had taken four wickets in four balls and scored a hundred in the same game. [3] [4] The second player to have accomplished a 4-in-4 and a century was Kelly Smuts,for Eastern Province (EP) against Boland at Paarl in 2015–16.

He generated fearsome pace from his bowling action,with a dangerous bouncer. He also statistically went on to become the most successful Test match bowler of the 1980s with 235 wickets with an average of 18.47 within a time period of just five years. Marshall was a part of the West Indies team that won the 1979 Cricket World Cup as well as the team which reached the 1983 Cricket World Cup Final,but lost to India by 43 runs.

In cricket,a century is a score of 100 or more runs in a single innings by a batter. The term is also included in "century partnership" which occurs when two batsmen add 100 runs to the team total when they are batting together. A century is regarded as a landmark score for batters and a player's number of centuries is generally recorded in their career statistics. Scoring a century is loosely equivalent in merit to a bowler taking a five-wicket haul,and is commonly referred to as a ton or hundred. Scores of more than 200 runs are still statistically counted as a century,although these scores are referred to as double,triple,and quadruple centuries,and so on. Reaching 50 runs in an innings is known as a half-century.

In cricket,a hat-trick occurs when a bowler takes three wickets from three consecutive deliveries. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings,but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick;run outs do not count,although they can contribute towards a so-called team hat-trick,which is ostensibly a normal hat-trick except that the three successive deliveries can be wickets from any bowler in the team and with any mode of dismissal.
