I couldn’t believe it when my brother told me about this a couple of hours ago. He then texted me to tell me that Rod Marsh had died too. Two great Aussie cricket legends.

And Rod Marsh just a day earlier.

There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

Who could forget the 1971 dismissal from a debutante bowler that was the start of the legend of "caught Marsh, bowled Lillee". Or his knock of 92 in England in 1972.Originally posted by GUT View Post

You know that the most successful female bowler of all time was Lilleen Marsh (Lilllie ‘n’ Marsh). sorry DKL actually told me that one. Probably early 90s.Originally posted by GBinOz View PostG U T

I remember the occasional exasperated looks on his face when he’d almost been knocked over as he’d caught one of Thommo’s bullets. He must have had hands like rhino hide.Originally posted by GBinOz View PostRegards

I recall watching him repeatedly plead with Greg Chappell "don't do it mate" when Chappell ordered his brother Trevor to bowl underarm in the infamous NZ ODI in 1981, and wondering what Dennis Lillee may have suggested Chappell do with the ball had Chappell asked him to bowl underarm.Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View Post
And can anyone forget the look of astonishment on Mick Gattings face when Warnie took his off stump from two feet outside leg with his first ball in Test cricket in England in 1993.

Very sad great character and bowler!Comment

I remember the underarm incident well George. No one played harder to win than Marsh but he knew that it wasn’t on. Not the Chappell’s finest hour. Great players though. I bet Warne wished that he was on commission for every time the Gatting ball was shown on tv.Originally posted by GBinOz View Post
I was reminded of one of Marsh’s most famous sledging lines:
'so how's your wife and my kids'
Two of the all time greats.Regards
