Rod Marsh was an Australian professional cricketer, born on 4 November 1947 and died on 4 March 2022, who played as a wicketkeeper for the Australian national team. His Test career ran from the 1970 to 71 season to 1983 to 84, and in 96 Tests he set a world record of 355 wicketkeeping dismissals, the same number as his Western Australian teammate Dennis Lillee took as a bowler. The pair were known for their bowler and wicketkeeper partnership. Nicknamed Iron Gloves after a shaky Test debut behind the stumps, he became regarded as one of the finest keepers in the sport. He was part of the Australian squad that finished as runners-up at the 1975 Cricket World Cup.
