Australian cricket great Rod Marsh, widely regarded as one of the finest wicketkeepers to ever play the game, has died after suffering a heart attack at a charity event, his former teammates said Friday. Marsh, 74, who played 96 Tests and was later a long-time national selector, had been in an induced coma and passed away at a hospital in Adelaide. 

Marsh made his debut in 1970 before retiring in 1984 with what was then a world-record 355 Test dismissals, many off the bowling of legendary paceman Dennis Lillee. He was the first Australian wicketkeeper to score a Test century.
