Robinson (18th-century cricketer) 1749. Robinson (18th-century cricketer) Robinson (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in first-class cricket during the 1740s, chiefly associated with London Cricket Club. He is recorded in 1749 only, playing in two single wicket matches at the Artillery Ground in August followed by an appearance for Tom Faulkner's XI against Long Robin's XI, also at the Artillery Ground, on Monday, 28 August 1749. As Robinson had established his reputation by 1749, he must have been active for some years previously. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no further references to Robinson
