Timeline

1931

Robin Geoffrey Marlar (2 January 1931 – 30 September 2022) was an English cricketer and cricket journalist.

Marlar was born in Eastbourne, East Sussex on 2 January 1931.

He was educated at King Edward VI School, Lichfield and Harrow School, before studying at Magdalene College, Cambridge.

1951

He played for Cambridge University before playing for Sussex County Cricket Club from 1951 to 1968.

He captained both teams.

He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, winning a blue in 1951, 1952 and 1953 (when he captained Cambridge to victory over Oxford).

Marlar debuted for Sussex in July 1951 in a match against Kent held at the Central Recreation Ground in Hastings.

1955

An innovative off-break bowler, he took 970 wickets in 289 matches at an average of 25.22, with a personal best of 9/46 against Lancashire at Hove in 1955.

He was described as "shrewd and skilful" by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.

1959

Marlar stood as a Conservative candidate for Bolsover in the 1959 General Election, and in a 1962 by-election at Leicester North East.

1968

He played with the club until 1968 and served as its captain between 1955 and 1959.

1970

In the mid-1970s, after the response to an article he wrote on cricket in Bangladesh, he successfully advocated the inclusion of Bangladesh into international cricket.

Marlar also started a thriving headhunting business based in Sloane Square and became a cricket administrator.

1979

After retiring from professional cricket, Marlar had a successful journalistic career as an outspoken cricket correspondent of The Sunday Times, and wrote the illustrated history The Story of Cricket (1979).

1987

One noted example of his bluntness came in December 1987, when he described the conduct of umpires officiating a five-day international match against Pakistan "intolerable, because whether or not the umpires were cheating, that is the way it appeared", adding that it was worst crisis since 1932.

1993

Decades later he was an early Referendum Party candidate at the 1993 Newbury by-election.

1996

He served as chairman of Sussex in 1996 and 1997, laying the foundations for the club's first Championship win in 2003.

2005

He was appointed president of Sussex County Cricket Club for 2005 and President of MCC for 2005–06.

During this time he incurred some controversy when, on a declaration to the Sunday Telegraph, he described it as "absolutely outrageous" that female athletes play cricket with male athletes, in response to Holly Colvin and Sarah Taylor, who had both played for England, being chosen to play for Brighton College's First XI that summer.

Marlar had six children who survived him.

He died on 30 September 2022 at Epsom Hospital.

He was 91 years old.
