Thread Name: BS: bring back Geoff Boycott (cricket)
Subject: RE: BS: bring back Geoff Boycott (cricket)
Your mention of Shane Warne reminded me that legendary 70s-80s Sandgroper cricketer, Rod Marsh, passed on the SAME day (also as the result of a heart attack) - but his passing being somewhat overshadowed by news of Warnie's demise (at a younger age), in Thailand!!

I can't claim to know a great deal about cricket, but I do recall that the phrase "Caught Marsh, Bowled Lillee" commonly punctuated both the airwaves and print, in my earlier days.
Here is a write-up from Australia's ABC about him (he also had his Boycott experiences!!)
