G Schoorman 1919-2008

Former Sri Lankan cricketer Schoorman dies

Cricinfo staff

May 17, 2008

Bobby Schoorman, a seamer who represented Sri Lanka in the mid-fifties, has died in Melbourne, aged 89. He played four first-class matches, taking eight wickets at 16.62.

He made his first-class debut in the Gopalan Trophy match in 1955-56 and took 4 for 12 in the first innings to help Ceylon post an innings victory. He also impressed in his next match against Hyderabad, nabbing another four-wicket haul, including that of former Indian Test batsman ML Jaisimha.

He was less successful in his only other first-class matches when India toured Sri Lanka the following year. He also played for Burgher Recreation Club, one of Sri Lanka's most famous clubs, in the Daily News Trophy and the Donovan Andree Trophy.
