Daniel James Marsh (born 14 June 1973) is a former Australiancricketer who captained theTasmanian Tigers. The son of former late Australian keeperRod Marsh, he was a right-handedbatsman and a handy slow left-arm orthodoxbowler. He played forSouth Australia early on in his career and played County Cricket forLeicestershire County Cricket Club.
Dan Marsh was a powerful striker of the ball and was capable of occupying the crease for long periods. He led the Tasmanians to just their second ever trophy when they won the 2004–05ING Cup. He contributed a half century in the final. As Tasmania's stand-in captain in the absence of AustralianTest cricket captainRicky Ponting, Marsh led Tasmania to its maidenPura Cup final win in 2006–07, and also captained the Tigers to their third domestic one-day trophy when they won theFord Ranger Cup in 2007–08.
Whilst Ricky Ponting was officially the Tasmanian cricket captain from 2001/02 until he announced he was standing down on 21 November 2007, this was primarily a ceremonial appointment in order to have the Australian captain as Tasmanian captain as well. In effect Marsh, his vice-captain, performed the captaincy duties on most occasions, and was appointed outright following Ponting standing aside.[1] He retired from First Class Cricket at the end of the 2009–10 Australian domestic season.[2]
