Career
Bakker was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. An accurate seam bowler, Bakker made his Interstate Commerce Commission Trophy debut in 1986, taking 5/18 against Papua New Guinea. Quirkily, his solitary ODI run was an umpiring error against United Arab Emirates 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.
Between 1986 and 1992 Bakker played for Hampshire in the English County Championship (being their leading wicket taker in 1989).
