He attended Alexander Road High School in Portuguese Elizabeth and matriculated in 1997.
He has played 14 Tests and over 70 ODIs for South Africa. He holds the dubious accolade of being the bowler from whom Brian Lara scored a world record tally of 28 runs in a single Test match over. In December 2009, it was revealed that he had signed a contract to play for Derbyshire on a Kolpak contract.
He was bought by the Mumbai Indians in the 2012 Indian Premier League players auction for $100,000.
He was the last bowler to dismiss Ricky Ponting in test cricket, having him caught at slip by Jacques Kallis after Ponting made just 8 runs in his final test innings. Even though he is not a big turner of ball, Robin Peterson"s main strength in bowling spin is bowling the arm ball (the straight ball).
This means that batsman are constantly unaware of whether the ball will turn or not. Robby P captures most of his wickets by bowling his victims or trapping them LBW this is because batsman constantly play for the spin only to find that the ball was going straight towards the stumps.
