5 Top Batsmen who never scored an away Test hundred

#4. Rodney Marsh - Australia (40 Away Tests)

Rod Marsh was hit wicket for 97 against West Indies at Kingston

The Australian wicketkeeper is well renowned for his partnership with the paceman Dennis Lillee as the duo combined to effect 95 dismissals in 69 Tests. Rodney Marsh, who was selected in the national team owing to his better batting ability than other wicketkeepers, scored 3633 runs at a batting average of 26.51 in 96 Tests.

Being a wicketkeeper, Marsh had to bat in the lower middle order and hence had little opportunities to bat for longer durations. Despite the lowly batting position, Marsh scored three Test centuries and 16 fifties in his sterling career.

Although Rod Marsh could not celebrate an away Test ton, he scored 10 fifties outside Australia and twice entered the 90’s. His best opportunity was at Kingston against West Indies in 1973 where Australia prolonged their declaration for Marsh’s century. The wicketkeeper was unfortunately dismissed as hit wicket on 97.
