'''Robert John Quiney''' (born 20 August 1982) is a former Australian cricketer who played two [[Test cricket|Test matches]] for Australia in the 2012–13 season. He played domestic first class and List A cricket for [[Victorian Bushrangers|Victoria]], and domestic Twenty20 cricket for the Melbourne Stars, Auckland Aces, Uthura Rudras and Rajasthan Royals.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/globetrotting-quineys-time/33874| title= Globetrotting Quiney's time has come| publisher = Wisden India | date= 6 November 2012}}</ref> He was a tall (193&nbsp;cm) left-handed batsman who also bowled right-arm [[medium pace bowling|medium pace]]. He played his last game for the Melbourne Stars on 27 January 2018, after which he retired from professional cricket.<br />
<br />
==Cricket career==<br />
Quiney was first called up to the Victorian team in 2005, to play against the touring [[List of World XI ODI cricketers|ICC World XI]] in a limited overs warm-up match for the [[2005 ICC Super Series|ICC Super Series]]. He was [[run out]] for three. In the following season (2006–07), he became a regular member of Victoria's [[Australian domestic limited-overs cricket tournament|interstate limited overs]] side, and made his [[first-class cricket|first-class]] debut against Tasmania in [[Hobart, Australia|Hobart]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/211854.html|title=Australia / Players / Robert Quiney|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=5 February 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the 2007–08 season, Quiney began to hold down a regular position in all forms of the game at interstate level, playing some important innings for Victoria, especially in the [[Ford Ranger Cup]] limited overs competition, in which he scored 89 [[not out]] off 57 balls against [[New South Wales]] at the [[MCG]] followed by 78 runs off 95 balls and 65 off 76 against [[Tasmania]] in [[Hobart]] and [[Melbourne]] respectively. In a [[Sheffield Shield]] match at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] (MCG) against Tasmania in 2010–11, he scored a half century in the first innings and then 102 in the second innings. The century was his third in first-class cricket, but was unable to save Victoria from their first defeat in a Sheffield Shield match at the MCG for three years.<br />
<br />
In 2011, Quiney was named Australia's Domestic Player of the Year, and was awarded his second [[Bill Lawry]] Medal for his performance for Victoria.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/globetrotting-quineys-time/33874| title= Globetrotting Quiney's time has come| publisher = Wisden India | date= 6 November 2012}}</ref> In February 2012, he scored two centuries (114 and 119) in the one Sheffield Shield match against South Australia at the [[Adelaide Oval]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sportal.com.au/cricket-news-display/white-praise-for-quiney-159799 |title=White praise for Quiney |last=Mammone |first=Christian |date=5 February 2012 |work=Sportal |accessdate=5 February 2012 }}{{Dead link|date=January 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}</ref><br />
<br />
Early in the 2012–13 season, Quiney was selected for Australia A in a trial match against a touring South African XI, in which he made 85 runs. Soon after, he was selected to make his [[Test cricket|Test]] debut in the [[South African cricket team in Australia in 2012–13|first Test against South Africa]] in Brisbane in November 2012, after batsman [[Shane Watson]] withdrew due to injury. South Africa batted first, making 450, but with the entire second day lost due to rain, Australia's innings didn't commence until after tea on day three. Batting at number 3, and facing the likes of [[Dale Steyn]] and [[Morne Morkel]], he only managed 9 runs, in what was to be his only innings, which lasted 14 minutes and 12 deliveries with one boundary. Australia recovered from 3–40 to make 5-565 declared and the match ended in a draw.<br />
<br />
He retained his place in the team for the second Test at the Adelaide Oval but, in another drawn match, he made a pair of [[Duck (cricket)|ducks]] in a combined total of 10 deliveries faced, leaving his test average at 3.00 runs per innings. He was dropped for the third Test when Shane Watson returned from injury. After the retirement of [[Ricky Ponting]], there were some calls for Quiney to replace him in the Australian XI.<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |url=http://www.news.com.au/top-stories/rob-quiney-and-ed-cowan-set-for-showdown-for-opening-batting-spot-in-australias-test-side/story-e6frfkp9-1226511369857 |date=6 November 2012 |title=Rob Quiney and Ed Cowan set for showdown for opening batting spot in Australia's test side |first=Malcolm|last=Conn |access-date=2024-02-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121106012316/http://www.news.com.au/top-stories/rob-quiney-and-ed-cowan-set-for-showdown-for-opening-batting-spot-in-australias-test-side/story-e6frfkp9-1226511369857 |archive-date=2012-11-06}}</ref><br />
<br />
In August 2017, Quiney retired from first-class cricket, after not getting a contract with Victoria ahead of the [[2017–18 Sheffield Shield season]].<ref name="retire">{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/1117384.html |title=Rob Quiney retires from first-class cricket as Victoria revamp contract list |date=21 August 2017 |accessdate=21 August 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> On 27 January 2018, Quiney played his last game for Melbourne Stars and the last game of his career.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/big-bash/bbl-kevin-pietersen-farewells-melbourne-stars-in-style-with-win-over-hobart-hurricanes-20180127-h0p77q.html |title=BBL: Kevin Pietersen farewells Melbourne Stars in style with win over Hobart Hurricanes |author=Pierik, Jon |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=27 January 2018 |accessdate=28 January 2018}}</ref><br />
