William Alexander Robertson (born 22 September 1940) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played four first-class matches for Otago during the 1960–61 season.[1]
Robertson was born at Ranfurly in Central Otago in 1940.[2] He played for Southland from the 1957–58 season, including in the Hawke Cup between 1960–61 and 1968–69, and for Otago age-group sides between 1958–59 and 1962–63.[3]
All four of Robertson's first-class appearances for Otago came during the 1960–61 season. A right-handed batsman, he made his debut in the province's first Plunket Shield match of the season against Canterbury at Carisbrook as a replacement for Artie Dick who had injured his hand.[4] After scoring 22 runs in his first innings before recording a duck in his second, Robertson retained his place in the side, although this remained his highest first-class score. He dropped out of the Otago side for the final Shield match of the season after having made a total of 43 runs in seven first-class innings.[3]
