David Tall (born 20 December 1963) is an English former cricketer. Born in Plympton, he was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Devon.
Tall, who made his Minor Counties Championship debut for the team in 1987, made a single List A appearance, in 1992, against Kent. From the upper-middle order, he scored 23 runs, though this was not enough to save his team from a 100-run defeat.
Famous quotes containing the words david and/or tall:
“I lately met with an old volume from a London bookshop, containing the Greek Minor Poets, and it was a pleasure to read once more only the words Orpheus, Linus, Musæus,—those faint poetic sounds and echoes of a name, dying away on the ears of us modern men; and those hardly more substantial sounds, Mimnermus, Ibycus, Alcæus, Stesichorus, Menander. They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,”
—John Masefield (1878–1967)
