Robert Arnold Lockyer Massie (born 14 April 1947) is a retired Australian cricketer who competed in six Tests and three One Day Internationals (ODIs) from 1972 to 1973. He had a short international career, but was remembered for his Test debut in 1972 at Lord's, where he took eight wickets in each innings, with a match record of 16/137.
This was a world record for a Test debutant until Narendra Hirwani of India defeated him for 16 wickets in fewer than 1 run.
The parallels go deeper: neither man enjoyed an extended Test career; between the two teams, they played fewer than 25 Test matches.
Early years
When a student at Hillcrest Primary School, Bob's uncle, Arnold and Barbara Massie, started playing cricket at the Bedford Park Youth Club at age ten. He enrolled in Mount Lawley Senior High School and then joined Bassendean-Bayswater in Western Australia's club competition.
Massie made his Western Australia debut against South Australia in 1965-1966. In his first innings, he made a duck and lost 81 runs without taking a wicket. He did not appear in another Shield match this season, nor did he play for Western Australia this year, but he went to join Kilmarnock in the Scottish league. He also played with Northamptonshire in English County cricket, but was not signed after he played two matches in the second team for a total of 3/166.
End of career
Upon his return to Australia, he played only two more Tests in the 1972–73 season against Pakistan. He took eight wickets but it was his batting which attracted the most attention. With Australia faltering at 8/101 in its second innings in the Third Test, with only a 75 run lead, Massie combined with John Watkins to add 83. Massie made 42 and Australia managed to win the Test and the series. Massie’s health failed him on the 1973 West Indies tour and he was unable to recover his swing and accuracy. He played only a further five first class matches before retiring.
