eBay Sweep: Malcolm Marshall book

Maco_book I adored Malcolm Marshall when I was growing up, and I'm not really sure why.  He played for Hampshire whereas I am from Lancashire; he is West Indian (how they could have done with him in the Cricket World Cup) but I am English; yet there was something wonderful about Maco that left me entranced. 

Maybe it was sidewinding run up before he unleashed the ball at his blood-chilling pace, or the fact that he was quite short, or the fact that he could bat as well.  Whatever it was, he was a hero of mine and I was truly, profoundly upset at his tragic death at just 41 years of age.  Anyway, fans of his can pick up a biography on eBay now for the current bargain price of £4.99.  The only drawback is that it is certain to contain loads of poncy ramblings by Mark Nicholas.
