Mark Andrew Robinson OBE (born 23 November 1966) is the current Warwickshire coach and a former English cricketer.
A right-arm fast-medium bowler who played for three different English counties (Northamptonshire,Yorkshire,and Sussex). He also spent one season in New Zealand,playing for Canterbury.
After retiring from playing,he served as coach of Sussex from 2005 to 2015,winning County Championships with the team in 2006 and 2007,and also coached several England Lions tours.
He led the England women's cricket team to the 2017 World Cup.
He was awarded an OBE in the Queen's 2018 New Year Honours. [1]
On 26 December 2020,Mark Robinson was set to become Bangladesh women's team head coach.
On 21 January 2021,he was appointed Warwickshire head coach.
After a number of appearances in Northamptonshire's second XI,Robinson made his first-class debut in 1987 against Lancashire,taking four wickets in the match including those of Mike Watkinson and Neil Fairbrother. By the end of the season he was playing a significant part in the first team,and the following year he took 46 first-class wickets at 22.93. He spent the winter in New Zealand playing for Canterbury. Returning to Northants for 1989,Robinson claimed 37 wickets.
1990 saw Robinson surpass even this level[ clarification needed ] of ineptitude with the bat,when he set a world record of 12 first-class noughts in a row (seven of them not out). In all cricket,including second-eleven games,he failed to score in 17 innings from 15 May until 18 August,finishing the season with a total of three runs in 16 first-class innings,with a highest score of 1*;only his ten not-outs helping his season's batting average to the dizzy heights of 0.50. This feat rather overshadowed his bowling for the summer:he took 40 wickets,but at a rather unimpressive average (even considering that year's batting-friendly conditions) of 47.22;his List A figures (24 wickets at 37.91) were somewhat better.
For the 1991 season he moved to Yorkshire,he scored a boundary from the first ball (in an innings of 8),he faced on his debut versus Middlesex at Lord's. Although he had a mediocre year and averaged nearly 50 with the ball,Yorkshire's faith in him was rewarded the following summer. In 1992 he claimed 50 first-class victims at 22.68,taking five wickets in an innings three times,though he had a poor year in the limited-overs game. He also reached double figures with the bat for the first time in three and a half years when he made 12 against Hampshire in May. In between,he had played sixty one innings without reaching double figures,which is the fourth longest such sequence after Jem Shaw between 1865 and the last match of 1870 (71 innings),Eric Hollies between 1948 and 1950 (71 innings) and his Northamptonshire predecessor Nobby Clark between 1925 and 1927 with 65 consecutive single-figure innings. [2]
Robinson remained at Yorkshire for three more summers,taking between 45 and 49 wickets in each of them. In 1993 he achieved a career-best innings return of 9–37 against his old county of Northamptonshire,and also took his career-best List A figures of 4–23 (which he was to equal in 2000). However,after the end of the 1995 season he spent an entire year out of the game before Sussex signed him for the 1997 season.
His first year with his new county proved to be Robinson's best ever with the bat as he passed a hundred runs for the season for the first (and only) time,thanks in part to a game against Lancashire in which he made 27 (the best of his career) and 17,albeit in a losing cause as Sussex were thrashed by an innings. In his main role he was again effective,taking 48 first-class wickets at 29.70,as well as picking up 19 in one-day cricket. In 1998 and 1999 Robinson also passed 40 wickets,but in 2000 his only double-figure List A score (15* against Lancashire) could not compensate for his being in and out of the County Championship side and managing only 16 first-class wickets.
Robinson's final full season was 2001,and it proved to be his most productive:he took 56 wickets at an excellent average of 19.33,topping the Division 2 Championship averages among those bowlers taking 20 or more wickets,while 29 scalps in List A games was also a personal best. Despite this,however,he was to play only one more first-class game,in June 2002 against Yorkshire. He did play a few one-day matches that season,and after a few second-team appearances the following year he retired from playing.
In October 2005,Robinson became professional cricket manager at Sussex,replacing Peter Moores who left to succeed Rod Marsh as director of the ECB National Academy.
Robinson,52,departs following a 12–4 series defeat by Australia in the Women's Ashes earlier this summer. [3] The former Sussex men's coach took the England job in 2015 and his side beat India in the World Cup final in 2017. [3] He also led England to the final of last year's Women's World Twenty20,where they were beaten by Australia. Assistant coach Alastair Maiden will take temporary charge of the team as they prepare for December's ICC Women's Championship series against Pakistan –which is being played in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia.

The start of the international season saw England defeat Bangladesh 2–0 in their two-match series,winning both Tests by an innings.

A medium pace bowler and lower order batsman,cricket writer Colin Bateman stated,"at 6ft 6in,with an ability to make the ball swing,Munton is at his best in English conditions". His time at Warwickshire was a particularly successful one for the club,winning 6 trophies between 1993 and 1995;as a crucial part of that side,Munton was honoured as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1995.
George Herbert Hirst was a professional English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1891 and 1921,with a further appearance in 1929.

He completed the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in an English cricket season 14 times,the second most of any cricketer after his contemporary and team-mate Wilfred Rhodes. One of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year for 1901,Hirst scored 36,356 runs and took 2,742 wickets in first-class cricket. In Tests,he made 790 runs and captured 59 wickets.
Jack Birkenshaw,was an English cricketer,who later stood as an umpire and worked as a coach.

Roy Kilner was an English professional cricketer who played nine Test matches for England between 1924 and 1926. An all-rounder,he played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1911 and 1927. In all first-class matches,he scored 14,707 runs at an average of 30.01 and took 1,003 wickets at an average of 18.45. Kilner scored 1,000 runs in a season ten times and took 100 wickets in a season five times. On four occasions,he completed the double:scoring 1,000 runs and taking 100 wickets in the same season,recognised as a sign of a quality all-rounder.
George Gibson Macaulay was a professional English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1920 and 1935. He played in eight Test matches for England from 1923 to 1933,achieving the rare feat of taking a wicket with his first ball in Test cricket.

The 2006 English cricket season was the 107th in which the County Championship had been an official competition. It included home international series for England against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. England came off a winter with more Test losses than wins,for the first time since 2002-03,but still attained their best series result in India since 1985. The One Day International series against Pakistan and India both ended in losses.
1947 was the 48th season of County Championship cricket in England. It is chiefly remembered for the batting performances of Denis Compton and Bill Edrich who established seasonal records that,with the subsequent reduction in the number of first-class matches,will probably never be broken. Their form was key to their team Middlesex winning the County Championship for the first time since 1921,although they were involved in a tight contest for the title with the eventual runners-up Gloucestershire,for whom Tom Goddard was the most outstanding bowler of the season. Compton and Edrich were assisted by the fact that it was the driest and sunniest English summer for a generation,ensuring plenty of good batting wickets.
1865 was the 79th season of cricket in England since the foundation of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). W. G. Grace made his debut as a first-class player and the new Lancashire County Cricket Club played its first match.
