The Openers - David Boon and Geoff Marsh

'Swampie' and 'Boonie'. The more outgoing Marsh seemed to be the perfect foil for the redoubtable Boon, a man of few public words. These complementary qualities extended to their opening combination also, where the strokeplay of Marsh worked hand-in-glove with the pugnacious style of Boon. The central photograph shows David Boon and Geoff Marsh leaving the field after an Australian victory against England in the 2nd Test, 30/12/1990, at the M.C.G. Marsh made 79n.o., and Boon 94n.o. This is the photograph that has been individually hand-signed by Geoff Marsh and David Boon. In the photo on the left Geoff Marsh cuts during his score of 72n.o. in the 1st Test against England at the Gabba, 25/11/1990. The photo on the right captures David Boon in action at The Oval during Australia's Ashes-regaining 1989 England tour. This item includes important biographical information, full career statistics and photographic information. It is strictly a Limited Edition of 350 only and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
