Hamish Marshall is a middle-order batsman and made his Test debut against South Africa in December 2000. Batting at No. 7, Marshall made an unbeaten 40, and showed great maturity and promise. He once more got the opportunity to show his mettle in Pakistan in 2003-04. In his third game, he scored an impressive 101 not out at Faisalabad, and later scored 64 and 84 to help New Zealand win the corresponding home series. He also helped New Zealand to win the 2003-04 home one-day series against South Africa, and was called up for the 2004 NatWest Series in England. He also scored 75 not out and 55 in the group matches, before contributing a solid 44 as New Zealand won the final against West Indies. He had also been the Young Player to Lord's in 1998 and a member of the New Zealand Cricket Academy in 1999. His maiden Test century came in March 2005 against Australia, no less - an innings of 146, in which he was unshakeable against pace.
