Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Terrible news with both Rod and Warnie. Very shocked with Warnie. 52 ain't old. The best spin bowler I have seen and probably on a par with Ambrose as overall best bowler I have seen. A great cricket mind as well. Would have been the best captain but never got that chance sadly. We also have him to thank for keeping the Aussie larrikin alive and well. He did a great job of that too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to meet Rod Marsh, Denis Lillie & Thomo at the Ascot Racecourse in the early 80's, I lived in Perth at the time & as a coincidence I leased the building on Albany Highway, East Victoria Park where Denis Lillie ran " Denis Lillie's Cricket World" he was friends with the tenants downstairs who ran a car wholesaling business along with one of the joint owners of 6PR Radio Station. They were all top blokes & didn't mind a drink !! Vale Marshy & Warnie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Micky Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I remember like it was yesterday watching the great Rod "Bacchus" Marsh (A term used by us Mexicans - Bacchus Marsh is a regional location in Victoria). Who could ever forget the cry of "caught Marsh, bowled Lillee" What a wicket keeper he was. And what a humble man too. A Giant of the game. I had the privilege of working with Warnie, he was a fantastic bloke and one of the most humblest human beings I think I've ever worked with. He was also one of the funniest. Such sad news, it's hard to believe he's gone. Warne was without doubt one of the greatest cricketers ever to play the game. RIP mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
