Melbourne: Australian cricket legend Rodney Marsh, who is regarded as one of the finest wicketkeepers to have ever played the game, passed away following a cardiac arrest at a charity event on Friday.
The 74-year-old, who played 96 Tests and served as a national selector for a long time, slipped into a coma and passed away at an Adelaide hospital.
