TIM ZOEHRER

'Timothy Joseph Zoehrer' (born September 25 1961 in Armadale, Western Australia) is a former Australian cricket player. He was a wicket-keeper.
He began his career in the 1980-81 season with Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield as an understudy to Rod Marsh. After Marsh's retirement he became the number one state keeper and eventually the Australian Test keeper. He played ten Test matches between 1986 and 1987 when Australia were far from the top team in the world. He also played 22 One-day Internationals. He was replaced as keeper firstly by Greg Dyer and then Ian Healy, though he did tour England twice, in 1989 and 1993, as Healy's deputy.
Zoehrer was a successful and popular keeper for Western Australia with a state record of 360 dismissals and also took 38 wickets with his leg break bowling until being controversially axed in 1994, when the state opted for New South Wales's Adam Gilchrist behind the stumps.
Zoehrer later played and coached cricket in Holland. He also wrote an autobiography, "The Gloves Are Off".
He now plays cricket for the Morley Cricket Club in the Western Australian ''Swan-Helena'' competition and works at Rowe & Jarman in Perth city.
