Christopher Ronald Dell (born 27 October 1960) is a former Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Tasmania in the 1985-86 Sheffield Shield competition. He was a bowler who bowled left arm fast medium. He played for Devonport Cricket Club in the Tasmanian Grade Cricket competition.
He made his first-class debut against South Australia at the Adelaide Oval on 10 January 1986,as cover for the overseas professional,West Indian fast bowler Winston Davis who was out injured. Dell returned 0/40 off his six overs in the first innings,and did not seem to trouble any of the South Australian batsmen. His second innings figures of 0/33 off six overs were not much better,and the Tasmanian selectors concluded that he wasn't up to the quality required for Sheffield Shield cricket. He returned to play for his hometown side,Devonport,where he had a successful career as an all-rounder. For Devonport he scored 6194 runs at an average of 28.03 to become their second highest all-time run scorer,and also took 405 wickets at 19.11 to become their fourth highest ever wicket taker. Dell also took 111 catches for his club side. [1]
Following his retirement from playing Christopher Dell took up a position as coach of Devonport Orions in his hometown. [2]

Jack Marsh was an Australian first-class cricketer of Australian Aboriginal descent who represented New South Wales in six matches from 1900–01 to 1902–03. A right-arm fast bowler of extreme pace,Marsh had high athletic qualities and was regarded as one of the outstanding talents of his era. His career was curtailed by continual controversy surrounding the legality of his bowling action;he was no-balled multiple times for throwing. As a result of the debate over the legitimacy of his action,Marsh never established himself at first-class level and was overlooked for national selection. In contemporary discourse,Marsh's lack of opportunities has often been attributed to racial discrimination.
