John Marshall (cricketer)
- John Marshall (cricketer)
John Marshall (born 1796 in England), was an Australian cricket player, who played three First-class cricket games for Tasmania.
He has the distinction of having captained, and been the wicketkeeper for Tasmania in the first ever first class cricket match in Australia. Marshall captained Tasmania in all three matches in which he represented the colony, with a record of two wins and one loss.
Marshall effected a stumping to dimiss the Victorian batsman T.W. Antill for 0 off the bowling of William Henty, making him the first wicket-keeper to effect a stumping in first-class cricket in Australia.
He was famous for having never cut his beard since his teen years. John Marshall was 58 when he played his last game for Tasmania, a record which survives to this day as Australia's oldest ever first class cricketer. He played for Hobart Town Cricket Club for over twenty years, and was one of their all time champions, still holding many local records in the Tasmanian Grade Cricket competition that have stood for over one hundred years.
John Marshall died on September 7, 1876, in New Town, Tasmania at the age of 80.
