He started playing cricket at VOC in Rotterdam when he was 8 years old. A back injury prevented him from pursuing a bowling career, but gave him the opportunity to concentrate on his batting. He made his debut at the age of 23 and played for the Netherlands for 9 years. He was a strong performer in important matches.
van Noortwijk held the record for the highest individual score for the Netherlands in a One Day International (ODI), having scored an unbeaten 134 against Namibia at the 2003 World Cup.[1][2] His record was beaten by Wesley Barresi in 2014. The last of his nine ODIs appearances was against Namibia in March 2003.
He worked as a mathematics teacher in Het Kennemer Lyceum.
