Editing Geoff Marsh (section)

==Coaching career==
Marsh retired from playing cricket in 1994 before taking up coaching.  In July 1996 he was chosen as coach of the Australian national Test and One Day International teams, playing a vital part in continuing his country's positions as the top cricketing nation of the time.  He was the coach of the Australian team that won the [[1999 cricket World Cup|1999 World Cup]] in [[England]], guiding the team to seven consecutive victories to help them win the tournament.

He left the Australian coaching job and soon became a selector for the [[Australian Cricket Board]] (now [[Cricket Australia]]), although he left this position in 2001 to become coach of the [[Zimbabwean cricket team|Zimbabwean national teams]].  Marsh continued in this position until 2004 when his contract expired; many considered this decision was made due to the political circumstances of [[Zimbabwe]]'s government under [[Robert Mugabe]], although he has never commented publicly on the matter.{{citation needed|date=July 2016}}
