Geoff Marsh

Legendary cricketer Geoff Marsh is looking forward to his next innings – as the head coach of the newly formed Team Pune in the IPL

It’s not often that you get to see legendary cricketers in our City of Nawabs. So, the arrival of Australia’s Geoff Marsh and England’s Dermot Reeve understandably caused quite a stir in Lucknow.

Sri Lanka's Australian cricket coach Geoff Marsh has drawn criticism after the team's loss to Pakistan in the recent Test and ODI series in the UAE.

In a historic 1987 Cricket World Cup match, Australia narrowly defeated India by one run at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Geoff Marsh’s century and Craig McDermott’s key wickets were pivotal for Australia, despite strong performances from India’s Kris Srikkanth and Navjot Singh Sidhu. Australia's disciplined play secured this dramatic victory remembered by many.

Former Australia chief coach Geoff Marsh feels that speedster Mitchell Starc's performance will be key for the home team in their upcoming ICC World Cup semifinal clash against India at the SCG.

Former Australian opening batsman Geoff Marsh, who was the scourge of the Asian teams in 1980s, is in no mood to write off the Asian challenge.

Shane Warne, the celebrated Australian leg-spinner, famously avoided vegetables from age 13 until he turned 30. His diet mainly included hot chips, pasta, pizza, and white-bread cheese sandwiches.

Former World Cup-winning skipper Arjuna Ranatunga slammed Sri Lanka Cricket on Wednesday, accusing it of hiring "garbage" foreign coaches while ignoring local talent.

Geoff Marsh's unimpressive four-month stint as Sri Lanka coach is almost over with the SLC set to appoint former South Africa coach Graham Ford as the successor.

"Although we are not doing that well in Bundesliga, we are very successful in the CL and the German Cup, where we reached the final," Raul said.

Australia coach Justin Langer praised Pakistan's "fantastic" Haider Ali after the teenager marked his international debut with a sparkling fifty against England.

"Afridi is out of his mind," Sourav Ganguly quipped, reacting to the former Pakistani skipper's claim that he has seen Tendulkar "tremble" while facing Shoaib.

Sachin Tendulkar has no doubts in his mind that Dean Jones would have been one of the "most sought after batsmen" if he was to be part of the T20 generation and called him a player well ahead of his time. The 59-year-old former Australia batsman died of cardiac arrest in a Mumbai hotel on Thursday. He was in India as a part of the host broadcaster's commentary panel.

Mitchell Marsh is not just a captain but a true leader, Marcus Stoinis said eulogising his teammate but added that the current Australia group is easy to lead with everyone aware of their roles in specific situations.

After the Australia-Sri Lanka game, Sunil Gavaskar, who is currently engaged in commentary duties for the World Cup, couldn't resist having a playful jab at Mitchell Marsh, invoking his father Geoff Marsh's reputation for a solid defensive batting technique. Gavaskar questioned the all-rounder, asking if his father hadn't taught him to play defensively, given his aggressive batting style.

Former South Africa coach Mickey Arthur has been approached by the Cricket Australia, which wants him to replace Tim Nielsen as national coach, report said.

Josh Inglis scored 102 off 94 balls on his Test debut against Sri Lanka, achieving the second-fastest century on debut in cricket history. Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith also reached milestones with scores of 232 and 141, respectively. Inglis continued a Western Australian trend of debut centuries in Test cricket, following Adam Voges, Shaun Marsh, and Marcus North.

In 1983, India won by 118 runs thanks to strong batting performances by Yashpal Sharma and Sandeep Patil. In 1987, Australia won by 1 run in a thrilling match. The 1992 World Cup saw Australia winning by 1 run (revised target) after a rain interruption. In the 2003 final, Australia won by 125 runs with Ricky Ponting's unbeaten 140. In the 2011 quarterfinal, India won by 5 wickets with Yuvraj Singh's all-round performance.

Mahela Jayawardene said he has taken up the Sri Lanka captaincy for a short term and rejected rumours that there was an internal bickering in the side.

Graham Ford has been appointed coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team, with the triangular ODI series in Australia next month going to be his first assignment.
