About Bob Massie
Robert Arnold Lockyer Massie (born 14 April 1947) is a former Australian cricketer who played in six Test matches and three One Day Internationals (ODIs) in 1972 and 1973.
A swing bowler, he had a relatively short international career but is remembered for a Test debut in 1972 at Lord's where he took eight wickets in each innings, with figures of 16/137 for the match. This was a world record for a Test debutant until beaten by India's Narendra Hirwani, who took 16 wickets for just 1 run fewer. The parallels go deeper – neither man enjoyed an extended Test career; between the two of them, they played fewer than 25 Test matches.
