Legendary Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh has died aged 74 after suffering a heart attack.
Marsh was taken ill last Thursday while travelling to a charity cricket match in Queensland.
He effected 355 dismissals - a world record at the time of his retirement - in 96 Test appearances for Australia from 1970 to 1984.
He also played 92 one-day internationals and served as Australia men's chairman of selectors until 2016.
Marsh is third on Australia's all-time dismissals list behind Adam Gilchrist with 416 and Ian Healy's 395

RIP Rod

RIP

RIP Warney, one of the best wrist spinners of all time, proper character and a sad loss.

Apparently Warne had tweeted about the passing of Rod Marsh only a few hours before his own untimely demise.

Never played cricket but I can remember Shane Warne really bringing games to life. Another casualty for males in their 50s. RIP

I played the game.

You then appreciate just how hard bowling leg spin is btw.

Some talent.

As Gatting might have said as the ball broke behind his considerable bulk - I'm stunned.
