Robbie Lawson

Robert Arthur Lawson is a New Zealand former cricketer who played for Otago between the 1992–93 and 2003–04 seasons.
Lawson was born at Dunedin in Otago in 1974 and was educated at Otago Boys' High School in the city. A right-handed batsman who occasionally bowled off breaks, he played more than 160 top-level matches, almost all of them for Otago.
After playing age-group cricket for Otago in 1991–92, Lawson made his senior representative debut in a Plunket Shield match against Central Districts at Masterton in December 1992. He played for the New Zealand national under-19 cricket team in early 1993, for a New Zealand Emerging Players side during the following season and went on to play for the New Zealand Academy and for New Zealand A but was never capped internationally. He captained Otago and scored over 5,500 top-class runs during his career. He later served in the board of the Otago Cricket Association for nine years and was made a life member of the association in 2023.
