however lost the series. Like most England players of his generation, Malcolm would never finish on the winning side in an Ashes series. Malcolm sought and in October 1995 obtained legal redress when a July 1995 article appearing in the Wisden Cricket Monthly questioned the commitment of players of foreign origin to the England cricket team. According to subsequent recollection this recalled typecasting of Malcolm and Gladstone Small by politician Norman Tebbit after the 1990 victory at Sabina Park. Malcolm, along with an England and then Derbyshire colleague Phillip DeFreitas, issued writs for defamation; Malcolm accepted libel damages through the High Court while DeFreitas settled outside of court. Malcolm's relationship with the then England team manager Ray Illingworth became strained and culminated in a row during the following series against South Africa in 1995–96. He was also reported to have had disagreements with England's then bowling coach, Peter Lever. Malcolm bowled poorly with the second new ball in the final Test, which allowed Dave Richardson and Paul Adams to add 73 for the last wicket. An insinuation that Malcolm had "no cricketing brain" has been cited as an instance of institutional racism in cricket. Malcolm played his last Test for England against Australia in 1997, also at the Oval, the ground where he took more Test wickets than any other. Beyond cricket Malcolm runs a company that sells cricket equipment to schools and clubs around the world.DEM Sports References External links Sunday Times article 23 August, 2009 1963 births Alumni of the University of Derby Black British sportsmen Derbyshire cricketers England One Day International cricketers England Test cricketers English cricketers English cricketers of 1969 to 2000 English people of Jamaican descent Jamaican emigrants to the United Kingdom Leicestershire cricketers Living people United Kingdom Northamptonshire cricketers People from Spratton Suffolk cricketers Wisden Cricketers of the Year
