Rod Marsh: Former Australia wicketkeeper in critical condition after heart attack

Rod Marsh is in a critical condition after having a heart attack.

In 96 Test appearances for Australia, the 74-year-old effected 355 dismissals.

Before retiring in 1984 he played 92 one-day internationals and served as Australia men's chairman of selectors.

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

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

He retired with 355 dismissals, which was a world record at the time, and he was third on Australia's all-time dismissals list.

From 2001 to 2004 he was the director of the England and Wales Cricket Board's academy.

Nick Hockley, chief executive of Cricket Australia, said that they were very concerned to hear the news about Rod.

Rodriguez is one of the most popular figures in the game and we thank those who care for him.
