Marshal was a hard-hitting middle-order batsman and a fast-medium bowler who got some spin off the pitch.

He was suspended for some games by the club committee following an incident when Surrey were playing Derbyshire at Chesterfield.

He returned to Australia, where he again appeared in occasional matches for Queensland, but with limited success.

His first-class figures were: 119 matches, 198 innings, 13 n.o., 5,177 runs, highest score 176, with an average of 27.98; 114 catches.

In World War I, he was one of the Australian troops sent to Gallipoli, where he caught enteric fever.
