Rod Marsh’s cricket cap

Rod Marsh wore this One Day International cap during the 1982 season in which he played 17 matches, scored 179 runs and took 14 catches. Australia lost the series to the West Indies 3-1.

These Australian one day international cricket caps were manufactured by the Albion Hat & Cap Company in the 1980s and early 1990s.

The style is known as a ‘traditional English style’ cap as opposed to the ‘Australian baggy style’ of the Test caps. After World Series Cricket disbanded in 1978-79, the Australian one day team took to the field in these caps in the 1979-80 series against the West Indies and England. Prior to this the official Australian team had worn the ‘Baggy Green’ in all matches.
