Cricket legend Rod Marsh in hospital after heart attack
Australian cricket legend Rod Marsh is in a Queensland
hospital after reportedly suffering a serious heart attack.
The former wicketkeeper was in Bundaberg for an event for
the Bulls Masters charity group.
Marsh was reportedly rushed to hospital by Bulls Masters
organisers John Glanville and David Hillier.
"John and Dave deserve so much credit because the
doctor said if they had waited for an ambulance he would not have made
it," Bulls Masters boss Jimmy Maher told News Corp.
"Rod landed at 10.05am and rang me from the car at
about 10.30.
"He said he could not wait to have a beer with me.
"Then soon (after) Dave rang me from the car and told
me what had happened. It's devastating.''
Marsh played 96 tests for Australia between 1970 and 1984,
snaring 355 dismissals behind the stumps.
The 74-year-old also previously served as Australia's
chairman of selectors before stepping down in 2016.
