<span class="mw-page-title-main">Jack Marsh</span> Australian cricketer (c1874–1916)

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.

Michael John Cox is a former Australian cricketer who played several matches for Western Australia during the mid-1980s. Born in Newcastle, Cox grew up in New South Wales, where he attended Maitland Boys High School and captained the school's cricket team. Having played for local teams in Maitland and Newcastle, he was selected for several regional representative sides before moving to Sydney where he played with Gordon in the Sydney grade cricket competition. Although Cox played several times at colts level, he was never selected for the New South Wales state team and eventually moved to Western Australia to further his opportunities. His only matches at state level came during the 1985–86 and 1986–87 seasons, when Western Australia's usual wicket-keeper, Tim Zoehrer, was unavailable due to national selection. Cox achieved moderate success in both Sheffield Shield and McDonald's Cup matches, but was dropped when after Zoehrer's return.
