Re: Raymond Van Schoor
Only 25 years old as well, puts our concerns about losing a cricket match into context
I read it at first as heatstroke as well, the latest I've seen though is that he seems to have actually suffered a stroke, very unusual for one so young

Re: Raymond Van Schoor
I read stroke too. Stroke makes sense in terms of fatality.
I must be at risk of heatstroke every saturday if thats a real option. 43 degrees on saturday. Killed me.

Death from heatstroke is very possible. However van Schoor does seem to have suffered a stroke.

I got him out in 2012 
He was on 30 and he looked class, until a seering Sloan yorker took out his leg stump

Well if he was still with us I'm sure he would pay you your dues.

Re: Raymond Van Schoor
He was a really quiet man as well, very humble and down to earth. His brother is a good player as well, just a strange bloke..ZIMDOGGY wrote:Well if he was still with us I'm sure he would pay you your dues.
