Eric Marsh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederick Eric Marsh (July 17, 1920 — March 25, 2003) was an English cricketer. Born in Bolsover, he was a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler.

Marsh was one of several players to be given the chance to represent Derbyshire following the end of the Second World War and the restart of the County Championship. Marsh, playing as a lower-order batsman, made a fair impact during his debut season of 1946, making one half-century and competing as a first-team player even in his first season.

In the three seasons following his debut, he managed to hit two half-centuries per season, finishing his career on a low point in 1949 as Derbyshire were to struggle languishing near the bottom of the Championship table, despite having performed well the previous year.

Marsh quit the game having scored seven half-centuries. Marsh’s uncle was Stan Worthington, nine-time Test cricketer and Wisden Cricketer of the Year for 1937.
