Robert Christopher John Fleming (born 20 July 1953) is an English former first-class cricketer.
Fleming was born at Woking in July 1953 and later studied at Jesus College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club in 1974, making nine appearances.[2] Playing as an off break bowler in the Cambridge side, he took 7 wickets at an average of 74.57, with best figures of 3 for 91.[3] As a tailend batsman, he scored 60 runs with a highest score of 13 not out.[4] He also made two appearances in List A one-day cricket for Cambridge in the 1974 Benson & Hedges Cup against Surrey at The Oval and Sussex at Hove.[5] He took one wicket in these matches, that of Surrey's Mike Edwards.[6]
Fleming later ran his own business in the travel industry, specialising in Christian Mediterranean cruises. In April 2016, he was found guilty of fraud at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court, after defrauding customers out of £26,000 meant for a cruise he was to book for them, but instead invested the money into a Turkish hotel. He was handed an 18-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, and fined £15,000.[7]
