Robert Arthur Lawson (born 14 September 1974) is a New Zealand former cricketer who played for Otago between the 1992–93 and 2003–04 seasons.[1]
Lawson was born at Dunedin in Otago in 1974[2] and was educated at Otago Boys' High School in the city.[3][4] A right-handed batsman who occasionally bowled off breaks, he played more than 160 top-level matches, almost all of them for Otago.[1]
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.[1] He captained Otago and scored over 5,500 top-class runs during his career.[1][4] 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.[5]
