Xavier Marshall is in news now for his whirlwind knock against Aussies which won West Indies the game. This Jamaican burst in to the seen back in 2004 creating waves with tags like next Vivian Richards due to his aggressive style of batting. But his form after his initial success has been very poor. He scored a century in his first season but failed to score any more.
He was first spotted as a youth player, and he lead West Indies to many victories in U-19 Tournaments. His century against South Africa stands out.But he got in to problems due to his fiery temper and has been reprimanded more than once. Thanks to immense belief of West Indies board in his potential, he is come out pretty safely.This series against Australia could define his career. He has done pretty well in Test Matches scoring 2 half centuries and has started off well before the one-day series.
Will this be the making of another great West Indian batsman???He is got age on his side, but he will need to be more consistent and play more of first class cricket. West Indies would be hoping this generation of players would bring back their old glory and surely X Marshall will be in their plans.
