Passes today aged 74 after the heart attack he had last week
What a great character and keeper for Australian Cricket.
RIP.

Re: ROD MARSH
My most memorable moments watching him:
1. Century in the centenary test
2. Calling back Randall in the same test after he was given out but wasn't sure if he caught it cleanly so called him back - Randall goes on to make 174
3. Going "nah, mate" shaking his head in disbelief before the infamous underarm by Trevor Chappell.

Re: ROD MARSH
Shared a few rounds and several glasses of wine with him at golf, he was very competitive, great company and very funny. Very sad to see him go, my condolences to Ros and the family.

“Caught Marsh, bowled Lillee!” A classic Aussie cricket phrase.
