Profile
He’s been around for ages and yet, has never been able to stamp his place in the Protean side.
Robin Peterson who started his career with the Eastern Province Warriors in 1997 was part of South Africa’s 1998 Under 19 World Cup squad before debuting in ODIs as a 23 year old against India in 2002. Selected as a frontline spinner, Peterson struggled to lead the spin attack despite little competition from his peers. Nevertheless South Africa continued to persist with him handing him his Test debut against Bangladesh in 2003 where he impressed with a 61 and also picked up five wickets in the process.
Despite being granted numerous chances, the left armer’s habit to push through deliveries and over defensive play finally led to his downfall in 2003, and in spite of being a brilliant fielder and a decent bat found himself out of the Test side whilst struggling to be in the ODI side.
Peterson was one of the selected foreign players to have been roped in by the IPL franchise Mumbai for the fifth season in 2012.
