Paul-Jan Bakker (born 19 August 1957) is a former Dutch cricketer. Bakker was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

International career

An accurate seam bowler, Bakker made his ICC Trophy debut in 1986, taking 5/18 against Papua New Guinea. He played all five One Day Internationals for The Netherlands during the 1996 Cricket World Cup, including his countries first official ODI against New Zealand at the advanced age of 38. Quirkily, his solitary ODI run was an umpiring error against UAE at Lahore. The final delivery of the Dutch innings yielded a scampered bye to keeper Abbasi but without an umpire signal – with contact he would have been caught behind! After the 1996 World Cup Bakker retired from cricket.

Career in England

Between 1986 and 1992 Bakker played for Hampshire in the English County Championship (being their leading wicket taker in 1989).

gollark: Also not a crossbow. Although I did fire a non-cross bow at some point.

gollark: No. Like I said, it never came up, this being the united kingdom™, which does not like guns™.

gollark: Also running `optipng` over some image files I had, which can mildly reduce their size.

gollark: Neither, unless you count "running imagemagick" as A.

gollark: Video compression is very cool, though. It's basically how we have DVDs and streaming services and YouTube.
