**Robin Jason Sims** (born 22 November 1970) is a former English [cricketer](/source/Cricket). Sims was a left-handed [batsman](/source/Batsman_(cricket)) who occasionally fielded as a [wicket-keeper](/source/Wicket-keeper). He was born at [Hillingdon](/source/Hillingdon), [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex).

Having played Second XI cricket for [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex_County_Cricket_Club) since 1987,[1] Sims made his [first-class](/source/First-class_cricket) debut for the county against the touring [Pakistanis](/source/Pakistan_national_cricket_team) in 1992. He made three further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against [Somerset](/source/Somerset_County_Cricket_Club) in the [1993 County Championship](/source/1993_County_Championship).[2] In his four first-class appearances for Middlesex, he scored a total of 31 runs at an [average](/source/Batting_average_(cricket)) of 10.33, with a high score of 28.[3] Sims also played [List A cricket](/source/List_A_cricket) for the county, with his debut in that format coming against [Leicestershire](/source/Leicestershire_County_Cricket_Club) in the [1992 Sunday League](/source/1992_Sunday_League). He made nine further List A appearances, the last of which came against [Somerset](/source/Somerset_County_Cricket_Club) in the [1993 AXA Equity & Law League](/source/1993_AXA_Equity_%26_Law_League).[4] In his ten List A appearances, he scored a total of 83 runs at an average of 27.66, with a high score of 27 [not out](/source/Not_out).[5]

Arguably his most notable moment on a cricket field came during the [1989 Ashes](/source/1989_Ashes_series), when in the 2nd [Test](/source/Test_cricket) at [Lord's Cricket Ground](/source/Lord's_Cricket_Ground), he caught [Australian](/source/Australia_national_cricket_team) captain [Allan Border](/source/Allan_Border).[6]
