Former Australian cricket star Dennis Lillee led the tributes to Rod Marsh at the legendary wicketkeeper’s funeral on Thursday.
Marsh died earlier in March aged 74 after suffering a heart attack. He effected 355 dismissals - a world record at the time he decided to retire - in 96 Test appearances for Australia from 1970 to 1984. He also secured three centuries at Test level in the process.
He forged a record partnership with Lillee, with the duo accounting for 95 dismissals in Test cricket - the most between a wicketkeeper and fast bowler. The pair retired simultaneously in 1984 alongside former captain Greg Chappell.
