Donn Robins
Donn Robins (7 March 1934 – 8 December 2013) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for South Australia from 1964-65 to 1966-67. Born in Broken Hill, New South Wales, he was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-pace bowler. He appeared in 20 first-class matches, scoring 340 runs with an average of 11.72 and a top score of 44. He bowled 3,726 balls, taking 52 wickets at 33.59, with best figures of 6/58, and took 12 catches.
In the 1965-66 Sheffield Shield season against New South Wales in Adelaide, Robins achieved four wickets in four balls: a hat-trick to end NSW's first innings, followed by the first ball of the second innings for Bob Simpson. He also took 6/62 in that match's first innings, and 6/58 in a later match in Sydney. He finished that season with 30 wickets at 29.30. After a few unsuccessful games in 1966-67 he played no more first-class cricket, and he passed away in Mudgee, New South Wales.
