Marsh was flown from Bundaberg to Royal Adelaide Hospital earlier this week after suffering a major heart attack last Thursday.
He remained in an induced coma until his passing."



Too young to die - condolences to family and friends

Re: RIP Rod Marsh



Australian cricket has lost a legend, with Rod Marsh passing away at the age of 74 following a heart attack last week. Marsh debuted behind the stumps to the derisory nickname Iron Gloves in the 1970/71 Ashes, but left in 1984 holding the record for dismissals - 355 - as his partnership with Dennis Lillee became the stuff of legend. After his retirement he became an influential coach and administrator, with his work in the AIS's Cricket Academy of particular note. Vale Bacchus.

Caught Marsh bowled Lillee. The catch cry of a generation.

RIP.

Re: RIP Rod Marsh

My generation. Loved the Lillee Marsh combo. Initially at the start of his career he was nicknamed iron gloves as he dropped a few. From then on he became a champion. RIP Rod.

RIP Rod Marsh. Before my time an Australian cricket icon in the 1970s. So sad to have two greats of the game (Rod and Shane) pass away so suddenly.
