Karl Schneider (cricketer) Karl Joseph Schneider (15 August 1905 – 25 September 1928) was a cricketer who played for Victoria and South Australia. A tiny man at just 157 cm tall, he was born in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn and was a specialist left-hand batsman who occasionally bowled right-arm wrist spin. Schneider showed precocious talent as a schoolboy player and was selected for his first-class debut as a 17-year-old while attending Xavier College, Melbourne. Batting at number eight, he contributed 55 runs to Victoria's (then) world record total of 1059, against Tasmania. Despite this promising start, Schneider had to wait two years for another opportunity and he eventually relocated to Adelaide in 1926 when it became obvious that he was not going to get a regular place in the strong Victorian batting line-up. Schneider was also a noted footballer and he joined the Norwood Football Club on his move to Adelaide.
