Heinrich Christian Schrader (5 December 1893 – 10 June 1980) was an Australian sportsman who played first-class cricket for Victoria and Australian rules football in the Victorian Football League (VFL) with University.
Career
A Xavier College recruit, Schrader appeared in 13 games and kicked four goals for University in the 1914 VFL season but failed to play in a winning side all year.
Much later, in 1930, Schrader made his first-class cricket debut when he was picked as a right-arm medium pace bowler to take on Tasmania at the MCG. He took three wickets in the match and made 42 with the bat, despite coming in at number 11.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/13/13373.html|title=Victoria v Tasmania 1929/30| publisher=CricketArchive}}
His second and only other first-class match came a year later against both the same opponents and on the same ground. Schrader took two wickets, including that of fellow dual VFL and cricket representative Laurie Nash.{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/13/13777.html|title=Victoria v Tasmania 1930/31| publisher=CricketArchive}}
