About Robert Leiper

  • Robert Leiper (born 30 August 1961) was an English cricketer.
  • He was a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Essex.
  • He was born in Woodford Green. Leiper made three Youth Test appearances for England Young Cricketers in 1980, scoring an average of 17 from six innings.
  • The following year, he was signed by Essex, and made his first of two first-class appearances during the 1981 season, against a team of touring Australians.
  • Despite making just one run in his first innings, he scored 49 in his second, backed up by Alan Lilley.
  • His second and final first-class appearance came during the 1982 County Championship, in a game against Surrey.
  • Leiper made just three runs in this game, being caught out by Alan Butcher in the second innings for a duck. Leiper was an upper-order batsman during his short — and contrasting — first-class career.
  • Leiper's father, Jack, made two first-class appearances during 1950 - and in fact had very similar career statistics to his son.
