Relive a golden moment from cricketing history as England's stylish right-handed opener Tim Robinson produced one of his finest ODI performances in the 4th Match at Sharjah on April 7, 1987 against a strong Pakistan side.
Robinson scored a magnificent 83 off 104 deliveries, laced with 10 exquisite boundaries. This knock was a perfect blend of elegance and aggression. He showed immense class as he tackled Pakistan’s famed spin duo Abdul Qadir and Tauseef Ahmad, punching and driving them through the gaps with finesse.
As the innings progressed, the six-foot-tall Robinson unleashed a flurry of lofted drives against young Wasim Akram and Manzoor Elahi, showcasing his ability to take on pace with confidence and timing.
Partnering with Chris Broad, Robinson ensured that the scoreboard kept ticking, shifting the momentum entirely in England’s favour. Their partnership broke the back of the Pakistani bowling attack, transforming a tricky chase into a comfortable victory. England successfully chased down the target of 217, winning the match by 5 wickets.
For his superb innings under pressure, Tim Robinson was rightly awarded the Player of the Match. His performance remains a standout example of classical one-day batting during the golden era of cricket.
