Just heard the sad news Rod Marsh has passed away......condolences to his family RIP Bacchus
95.Caught Marsh, bowled Lillee. How many times did we hear that?
A fair average with the bat as well. I remember saying Marsh was always "good for 50".95.
RIP Rod Marsh
Fist Australian keeper to score a century at all up to that time from memory. He ended up with 3 centuries, and a few others in the 90s. I remember a big hullabaloo when Bill Lawry declared with Marsh 92 no in his first series. His batting declined towards the end of his career but he also batted with an eye on the team situation rather than as a purely personal effort.A fair average with the bat as well. I remember saying Marsh was always "good for 50".
I learnt today he was the first Australian wicket keeper to score a century against England.
