Robert James Kirtley is an English Test cricketer, who was born on the 10 July 1975 in Eastbourne in the county of Sussex. He is a right arm fast to medium bowler and a right hand batsman. His first international match was at Harare, Zimbabwe in 2001. He bowled Mashonaland to victory against England on their tour of Zimbabwe in 1996/1997. Later that year he received the NBC Denis Compton Award. At his zenith he was a skiddy bowler with good accuracy, and an excellent cricketing brain. At his nadir he was banned from bowling because of doubts about his action. Problems with his action have now been resolved now but at a cost of some pace and he looks extremely unlikely to trouble the England selectors again. In the 2006 C&G Trophy final, Kirtley bowled Sussex to victory with match figures of 5-27. He also studied at Eastbourne College and St.Andrews School. Both are in Eastbourne.
