Rodney William Marsh, the robust former Australia wicketkeeper, took an Ashes-record 28 dismissals in his side's remarkable home series victory over England in the 1982-1983 summer.

Inspirational Ashes Countdown No.28: former Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh

Australia won the Test by eight wickets, while Marsh finished with eight catches and Lawson was named man of the match.

Ironically, after a poor Test debut, Marsh was to retire with 148 Ashes dismissals – the most by a wicketkeeper - and 355 in all Tests, and is still regarded as one of the finest gloveman to play the game.
