Lucas ("Luuk") Petrus van Troost (born 28 December 1969 in Schiedam, Zuid-Holland) is a former Dutch cricketer, who captained the national team. He usually batted between no. 6 and no. 8 in the order, and when in form scored quickly with his hard hitting, while his bowling was relatively rarely called upon but provides a handy option where required.
His brother Andre also played for the Netherlands, as well as for Somerset.
Famous quotes containing the word van:
“The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
