Lifmann made his senior debut for the Netherlands in September 1978, playing against the New Zealanders returning from their tour of England.[1] His first international tournament for the Netherlands was the 1982 ICC Trophy in England.[2] At the tournament, Lifmann scored 250 runs from four matches, ranking him fifth in the competition for runs (and first among his teammates).[3] His highest score, 155 not out, came against Malaysia,[4] and set a new tournament record for the highest individual innings (later broken by Hong Kong's Simon Myles).[5] Lifmann remained in good form at the 1986 ICC Trophy, scoring 395 runs from ten matches to rank third among Dutch batsmen and fifth overall.[6] His tournament included scores of 98 against Papua New Guinea and 110 against Israel, as well as a team-high 41 in the final against Zimbabwe.[2] Lifmann was a regular for the Netherlands for several more years, playing his last international in 1989 (against the Australians returning from their tour of England). His club cricket was played for VOC Rotterdam.[1]
