An opening batsman, Robert Byron came to prominence when he scored 101 for a South African schoolboys team against the touring MCC team early in 1928.[1][2] It was one of only three centuries scored against the MCC, compared to the 14 scored by MCC batsmen.[3]
He played his first first-class match for Border later in 1928 and appeared frequently over nine years, but his success in his first-class career was modest except for his only century, 135 against Transvaal at Johannesburg in 1935–36.[4][2]
