Marlon Ian Black (born June 7, 1975, Trinidad) is a former West Indian cricketer who played in six Tests and five ODIs, debuting in the year 2000.
He played his last international in 2002 due largely to an incident where he was attacked and badly beaten outside a Melbourne nightclub. Black had been out clubbing with his teammates Wavell Hinds and Sylvester Joseph to mark the end of their tour. Walking back to their hotel, they came across 4 drunk men who were smashing bottles on the road. The two group got into a confrontion and when the men got aggressive the cricketers tried to flee. Hinds and Joseph got away but Black was knocked unconscious after being badly beaten.[2]
