GARY ROBERTSON..Cent Dist & NZ in 80's

[teffers]

Does anyone know what became of GARY ROBERTSON who played 1-day internationals for NZ in the early 80's and also played in 1 test v Australia in 95/6. I played a season with him in England in 1981 and would love to know what he's up to these days.

Is he still alive?

5 months and 11 days, this one

Could still have been legally prevented in that case.

I think he’s running a travel agency in New Plymouth.

Suppose business is really down ATM for him

Seeing lots of people turn to stuff like onlyfans in these times so kudos to him if he can get in on that action.

Can someone explain why andruid replied to an 18 year old thread?

 

[trundler]

Quarantine boredom. Ended the Hub.

Doesn’t say what he’s up to now, but a nice read about his one test, and his one test wicket that shouldn’t have been given!

Should have been given Pre-revenge for MCG 87-88.

Was there most days for that game. The Coney / Robertson stand was important, Robertson came in at 8-203 in reply to Aussie 1st innings 314. Coney's attacking 93 (129) kept the lead to under 60 and Braces spun out the Aussies in 3rd innings.

IIRC I have posted before about Coney's captaincy for Braces in 3rd innings. Border started slowly and carefully, was about 2 (30), then swept Braces for a 4. Coney kept the gap open at square leg, Border took the bait, Braces bowled a slower ball that spun past the attempted sweep to be bowled.

Coney really was a gun for the last 3 or 4 years of his test career - scored important runs, was a superb slipper, very useful dibbly dobbler, and captained us to test series wins v England and Australiax2 and a draw vs the ATG Windies.

I know he only played four tests there, but on a tough tour, what a record in the West Indies.
