John Marshall (born 1796 in England), was an Australian cricket player, who played three 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. 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, making him still 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. John Marshall died on September 7, 1876, in New Town, Tasmania at the age of 80.
