Robert George Holland (19 October 1946 – 17 September 2017) was an Australian cricketer. He was, because of his surname, nicknamed "Dutchy". He was born in Camperdown, New South Wales, Australia.[1]
Holland, who spent the majority of his cricketing life in Newcastle, was a late bloomer, and his Test debut aged 38 made him the oldest Australian debutant in more than half a century. Holland was part of the team that won the Sheffield Shield in 1982–83, 1984–85 and 1985–86.[2] Holland finished his first class career with a season with Wellington in New Zealand’s domestic league.
In April 2017, Hollan was diagnosed with brain cancer.[3][4] He later died from the disease on 17 September 2017 in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia at the age of 70.
