Raymond van Schoor | Namibia Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo

It is with deep regret and sorrow that I announce the passing of Raymond van Schoor at 19h17 Namibian time on Friday the 20th November 2015. On behalf of Cricket Namibia, I express my most sincere condolences to the entire Van Schoor and La Cock families. Raymond was a tremendous asset to Cricket Namibia and the National Cricket Team. He was taken far too early from us. We however accept that Almighty God needed him to represent the Heavenly Angels! May his soul rest in peace! Richard Frankle: President: Cricket Namibia

Tragic news. Raymond van Schoor has died from a stroke, at the age of 25.

An odd tweet from Gayle, calling most of his followers not loyal. The instagram link goes -

The 352K ain't loyal followers, i wish I could blind fold y'all... Because u don't like me but yet still y'all follow me

Weird to see a cricket lash out on twitter like that.

Was always going to be hard to get conviction with the main witness being very unreliable.

Even my reaction was the same.
But he did bowl well in world cup. Claimed 17 wickets from 7 matches and he was pretty decent in ODI's before world cup too. But still, I am not convinced with his selection.
