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 totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
