Rod Marsh RIP

Former Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh has died at the age of 74, after suffering a heart attack last week.
Between 1970 -1984 he played 96 Tests & what was at the time a world record 355 dismissals. One of the very best keepers standing back to the famous Lillie & Thomson pace pairing. His 95 catches off Lillie is still a Test record.
His aggressive left hand batting produced 3 Test centuries & the first by an Australia keeper. He also played in 92 ODI over his career, which was interrupted by 2 years in World Series Cricket.
After his playing career, he was a renowned coach, Marsh headed the Australia Cricket Academy, & also the same role for England, as well as the ICC World Coaching Academy in Dubai. He served as a commentator & was Australia's Chairman of Selectors for 2 years.

What with the death of Rod Marsh and the announcement of Shane Warne’s premature death it’s been a sad day for the cricket world. RIP to them both.
