Profile Summary

A talented top-order batsman, James Marshall made his ODI debut for New Zealand in the middle order in February 2005. Soon after he was given his Test debut against Australia, this time at his favourite opening position. He showed glimpses of his potential during his 52 against Sri Lanka in Napier.

James Marshall though could not sustain the early promise and was sent packing from the team in light of his inadequacies against the moving ball in England.

James Marshall proved his worth during his maiden ODI ton - a blistering knock of 161, which powered the Kiwis to a massive win over Ireland. Joining forces with Brendon McCullum, James set up a 266-run opening stand, the highest for the Kiwis for any wicket in ODIs. Sadly, that turned out to be his last international outing.

He retired from all forms of competitive cricket in March 2013.

Interesting facts:
1. James Marshall holds the record for most first-class appearances by a domestic player for a single province in New Zealand, with 126 appearances for Northern Districts in the Plunket Shield.
2. James Marshall and Hamish Marshall became the second pair of twins to play Test cricket after Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh.
