Robin John Peterson (born 4 August 1979) is a former South African cricketer who bowls left-arm spin and is a capable batsman. He has played 15 Tests and over 70 ODIs for South Africa. He announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 9 November 2016.[1]
Domestic career
In December 2009, it was revealed that Peterson had signed up with Derbyshire on a Kolpak contract.[2]
He attended Alexander Road High School in Port Elizabeth and matriculated in 1997.
He was bought by the Mumbai Indians in the 2012 Indian Premier League players auction for $100,000.[3]
International career
He holds the dubious distinction of being the bowler from whom Brian Lara scored a tally of 28 runs in a single Test match over, a world record at the time.[4]
He was the last bowler to dismiss Ricky Ponting in Test cricket, having him caught at slip by Jacques Kallis after Ponting made just 8 runs in his final Test innings. In 2013, Peterson conceded 35 runs in a over during a ODI against Sri Lanka, Thisara Perera striking 34 runs in boundaries with one wide delivery.[5]
ICC World Cup 2011
Peterson's 4 for 12 versus Bangladesh is his best bowling performance in ODIs, surpassing his 3 for 22 against England in Chennai. He also hit a quickfire 21 to help his team win against India.[6] He finished the tournament as the highest South African wicket-taker of the tournament with 15 wickets at an average of 15.86 runs.[1]
