Who is Robin Martin-Jenkins?

Robin Simon Christopher Martin-Jenkins is an English cricketer who played for Sussex CCC and British Universities. He is six feet 5 inches tall. He is the son of Christopher Martin-Jenkins, the cricket writer and commentator. Martin-Jenkins was educated at Radley College and was in the same college house at the same time as cricketers Andrew Strauss and Ben Hutton. These three were among other successes in the first batch of 1997 at Durham University's pioneering Centre of Excellence for Cricket under former test batsman Graeme Fowler.

He spent his entire first class career at Sussex CCC. He showed loyalty by staying at the club throughout the 90s when Sussex were generally unsuccessful with the club even finishing last of the 18 counties. He was a prominent member of both the 2003 and 2006 Championship winning teams. His experience meant that he was often used as a containing bowler as is evidenced by his reasonable economy rate. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler and is a right-handed batsman who batted at around 7 or 8. He was generally known as a bowler who can bat as opposed to an all-rounder.
