Passes today aged 74 after the heart attack he had last week

What a great character and keeper for Australian Cricket.

RIP.

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.

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.

True legend of Australian cricket

Agree, especially number 3.

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

Another great man and great loss RIP

A great memorial to him at Adelaide Oval this morning, safe travels old mate.

I'm in iso so I had to watch it online, but it looked like they pretty much filled the Magarey Room.
