Javed Miandad, Imran Khan and Abdul Qadir feature in Rod Marsh's All-Time XI

[MenInG]

 

[EliteCynical]

Qadir averaged 35 v Aus overall and 61 in Australia. Obviously, these XI's are made out of personal choices with no regards to form book or stats.

 

[The_Odd_One]

It's actually not a bad team.

 

[Red Devil]

No Indians, I like this guy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Aw the Barry Richards who played 4 tests lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looking up Bob willis has taken lot of wickets against Australia when he was part of OZ, more importantly he has dismissed Marsh 9 times.

 

[Oligochaetes]

His XI must consist of players he has played against (My guess)

I cant imagine Bradman not being selected by an Australian. It's sacrilege!

 

[Ab Fan]

He has picked names from his era mostly. It is fine list still. Many from younger era also pick the likes of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.

 

[WengerOut]

No Greg Chappell !!!

 

[Bewal Express]

Aw the Barry Richards who played 4 tests lol

I think most people that either saw him play or played against him put him in their top 3.

 

[Slog]

Gavaskar shoulda been there

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

A very solid team

Wasim Akram would have made it better tho but it's a personal favorite XI

 

[barah_admi]

Cant argue too much, as its clearly a contemporary team. Some great players in there.

 

[pillionrider]

It's his team, but looks odd without Gavaskar in place of either Barry Richards or Greenidge.

On a more important note, what was Rodney thinking of or feeling when they took that pic )

 

[MenInG]

Former Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh is in a critical condition after suffering a heart attack.

The 74-year-old effected 355 dismissals in 96 Test appearances for Australia.

Marsh also played 92 one-day internationals before retiring in 1984 and served as Australia men's chairman of selectors until 2016.

"Rod is an influential figure in Australian cricket and has been so for more than 50 years," the Australian Cricketers Association said.

Marsh reportedly fell ill while on his way to a charity cricket match in Queensland.

He is third on Australia's all-time dismissals list behind Adam Gilchrist with 416 and Ian Healy's 395 and his tally of 355 dismissals was a world record at the time of his retirement.

"We are very concerned to hear the news about Rod and send him our best wishes," Nick Hockley, chief executive of Cricket Australia, said.

"Rod is one of the most iconic and popular figures in the game, we thank and acknowledge those who are caring for him."

 

[Monsee]

Good XI, no Indians, even better...he was a very aggressive player/competitor, that is why I guess he basically picked mostly aggressive players in his team, barring Alan Knott!

He must have been shocked/traumatized by Gavaskar's famour WC innings of 36* in a gazillion balls, no wonder he did not pick him

 

[PakLFC]

Marshy's a Pak in disguise!

Any XI would be a subjective matter.
