Widely regarded as one of the finest wicketkeepers to ever play the game, Marsh died after suffering a heart attack at a charity event, his former teammates said on Friday. The 74-year-old Marsh, who played 96 Tests and was later a long-time national selector, had been in an induced coma and died at a hospital in Adelaide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Born on September 13, 1969, in the outer Melbourne suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully, Warne first played representative cricket when he was granted a scholarship to Mentone Grammar, representing the University of Melbourne Club in the Victoria Cricket Association under-16 Dowling Shield competition. He then joined the St. Kilda Cricket Club, near his home suburb of Black Rock. After a stint in Australian rules football at the St. Kilda under-19 team in 1988, where he made the reserve team and almost turned pro, Warne went to train at the Australia Cricket Academy in Adelaide. He made his professional debut in 1991 at Junction Oval in the match between Victoria and Western Australia. That same year, he was selected for Australia B and toured Zimbabwe, where he achieved his first five-for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warne starred for Australia cricket between 1992 and 2007 and is widely regarded as one of the finest leg-spin bowlers of all time in the history of the sport having taken 708 test wickets, with his career spanning 15 years. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He later played in the Indian Premier League and other Twenty20 competitions before retiring from all international cricket in 2013 but continued to be involved in the game as a broadcaster.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Warne was credited with reviving the art of leg-spin and his 708 Test wickets is a tally surpassed only by Sri Lanka off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who took 800.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Between 1993 and 2003, Warne was part of five Ashes-winning sides, and was also crowned a world champion in 1999. Not only was he one of the most gifted players in history, but Warne&#8217;s friendly character and unrivalled insight made him one of the best pundits in the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warne made an underwhelming test debut at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1992 and rose to become a key figure across all formats during one of the greatest sustained periods of dominance by any team in world cricket.
