I heard that Rod Marsh has suffered a heart attack at 74. If this is correct I wish him a safe and speedy recovery.

Yes, it is in the NZ sports news. Get well soon Rod.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

I was wondering if all you stats people on here could come up the number of times the scorebooks said......"Caught Marsh bowled Lillee"

 

[The Sean]

If I remember correctly, it's 95.

 

[JBMAC]

If I remember correctly, it's 95.

Thank you for that

 

[JBMAC]

Statement issued by family says it is touch and go. He is now in an induced coma.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez sounds very dicey. Hope he pulls through.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sounds bad. All the best.

This is awful news. 1972 was my first Ashes series watching on TV and he was one of the stars. He and Paul Sheahan running off swinging their bats in celebration at the Oval was an iconic moment in the rise of the Chappell era.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, just so sad. One of the greats.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Just before my time as a kid into cricket, but a true great. Condolences to all.

The symmetry is quite wonderful......in fact it's enough to make you weep, literally.

95 of Lillee’s Test wickets were caught by Marsh, etching the term “caught Marsh, bowled Lillee” folklore. Coincidentally, the pair each finished their careers with the same number of Test dismissals (355), claiming world records in their respective disciplines.
