Australian cricket legend Rod Marsh has died in Adelaide after suffering a heart attack in Queensland last week.

Marsh played 96 Tests for Australia between 1970 and 1984, snaring 355 dismissals behind the stumps. He also previously served as Australia's chairman of selectors before stepping down in 2016.

Dean Woods, the prodigiously talented track cyclist best known as a member of the "Charlie's Angels" team pursuit squad, has died. Woods, who was 55, had been battling cancer.

Woods had just turned 18 when he was the youngest member of the team pursuit squad that upset the favoured United States quartet to win the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Their upset win over the Americans brought the regime of national coach Charlie Walsh to widespread attention and led to the squad's nickname. It proved a pivotal success, marking the start of a sustained era of international success for the Australian track program.

Woods was an all-time great of Australian cycling, winning another three Olympic medals after the LA gold.
