Cantrell is best remembered as a substitute fielder who took two catches during the Australia v EnglandTest match at the Gabba during the 1990-91Ashes series.[1][2] In spite of the fact that Cantrell had apparently been at a nightclub until 3am that morning, one of these catches, which dismissed one of England's few batsmen in form at the time, Alec Stewart, has been described as a "blinder".[3] England duly collapsed and lost by ten wickets in this the first Test, on their way to another heavy defeat in the series.[4]ESPNCricinfo observes that, in an ironic partial anticipation of the Gary Pratt controversy of 2005, "Cantrell's presence was slightly controversial, given that he was probably the best gully fielder in Australia at the time and that the less sure-fingered Carl Rackemann was the official 12th man".[3]
Two and a half years later, Cantrell helped to defeat "England" again, this time for a different international team, when he starred in a surprise seven-wicket win for the Netherlands over an England XI which included Darren Gough and then test players Nasser Hussain and Martin McCague, Cantrell scoring 64 and taking 2 for 40.[5]
This however was not in a one-day international and he had to wait another three years for his official international debut.
International careeredit
He played all five of his One Day Internationals for The Netherlands during the 1996 World Cup. He scored 160 runs in the five ODIs, with a decent average of 32.
Coaching careeredit
He was coach of the Netherlands for the 2007 World Cup but stood down as head coach after the tournament.[6]
