Robert Geoffrey Anderson (29 March 1939 – 3 May 2020) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played 16 first-class matches for Otago between 1961 and 1965. [1][2]
A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Anderson was a regular member of the Otago team for three seasons, usually opening the bowling with Frank Cameron. He took three wickets in an innings several times, with best figures of 3 for 29 in his last match, against Canterbury in 1964–65. [3] He was also a useful tail-end batsman, who made his highest first-class score in 1961/62 when, batting at number 10, he top-scored for Otago with 48 against Central Districts in the 1961–62 Plunket Shield.
