About George Schmoll
Lived 1870 – 1942 (aged 71). George Schmoll was a New Zealand cricketer.
Gustav Ernest "George" Schmoll (25 November 1870 – 20 October 1942) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Auckland and Wellington between 1903 and 1913.
Schmoll played as a wicket-keeper. In January 1904, playing for Auckland in his second first-class match, he took four catches and a stumping in the first innings, equalling the New Zealand first-class record for dismissals in an innings that was not beaten until 1964–65 (by Robin Schofield). He moved from Auckland to Wellington in 1906. He had a high reputation as a wicket-keeper, and would probably have played more first-class cricket but for his unreliable batting.
Schmoll worked as an upholsterer.
