However, he took no wickets, Australia lost, and along with four of the other debutants, he played no further Test cricket. After an altercation with his East Melbourne captain Harry Boyle, Robertson moved to San Francisco, where he played for three turn-of-the-century California Cricket Association league clubs. In 1898 he captained the Bohemia Cricket Club to victory in the California Cricket Association championship. He scored one of the first centuries in California cricket history and played against the 1896 Australian Test side at the Presidio ground. He returned to Australia in 1899, and played successfully for many years for St Kilda Cricket Club in Melbourne. He died in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton at the age of 76. (en)
