Hamilton (New Zealand), March 5 : Australia and England women’s cricket teams donned black arm bands and observed a minute of silence out of respect for Rod Marsh and Shane Warne ahead of their World Cup match here on Saturday. Australian greats Marsh and Warne passed away within 24 hours of each other. While Marsh, 74, died on Friday after having suffered a heart attack last week, Warne passed away of a suspected heart attack at the age of 52. Warne made his Test debut in 1992 against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground, going on to become the most successful leg-spinner of all time. He played 145 Tests, finishing with 708 wickets that included 37 five-wicket hauls and 10 10-wicket match hauls. In 194 ODI appearances, Warne snared 293 scalps. Marsh, who played 96 Tests and 92 ODIs, was a key part of a formidable combination with champion fast bowler Dennis Lillee and the ‘caught Marsh, bowled Lillee’ dismissal is still the most common way a batter has been dismissed in the history of Test cricket.
