bentwaters81tfw Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Strewth, what a turn up for cricket; I knew Rod Marsh had gone, but to lose two in one over! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky boy Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I saw Rod Marsh had died on BBC sport and was completely shocked just now to see the news about Shane Warne. Rod Marsh was before my time but I was lucky enough to see Shane Warne play a couple of times. A sad sad loss and about 30 years to young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Never actually got to see Warnie play, except on television (The Bride didn't approve of cricket ...) but saw Swampy many times - the best ever behind the stumps, even better than Wally Grout. They will both be greatly missed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I was at Old Trafford in 93 when Warnie bowled that magic ball. It looked to be heading down legside and I am sure Gatting must have thought the same, to see it nip back behind his legs and go on to hit the wicket was amazing. I was lucky to have just witnessed the finest piece of legspin bowling I have seen. Rod Marsh and Shane Warne were two great players for their country, and a fantastic inspiration for many young players coming through. A sad loss for all fans of the game and the world of cricket. For when the one great scorer comes To write against your name. He writes - not that you won or lost But how you played the game.
