Quintin Goosen
Quintin John Goosen (4 November 1946 - 3 September 2014) was a Zimbabwean cricketer and umpire. He umpired in one Test match and 12 One Day Internationals, all played in Zimbabwe.[1]
Goosen was born in Lonely Mine, Matabeleland. He played cricket for Mashonaland Country Districts before becoming an umpire. He was an umpire in the Logan Cup, Zimbabwe's domestic first-class cricket competition, from 1994 to 2002.
Goosen's only Test match as an umpire was the 2nd Test between
B.C. Cooray from Sri Lanka.[2] Pakistan won easily by 8 wickets within three days of the five-day match, but Pakistani fast bowling great Wasim Akram received a reprimand following the Test for angrily snatching his cap from Goosen after an lbw appeal was rejected.[3][4] The standard of umpiring in the Test was publicly criticised by Zimbabwean batsman David Houghton, who was also fined.[3][5]
Goosen also umpired 12 One Day International matches, all played in Zimbabwe between 1994 and 2001, six at
England at Bulawayo on 10 October 2001.[7]
He died on 3 September 2014.[8]
