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 was exceedingly interested by this phenomenon, and already felt paid for my journey. It could hardly have thrilled me more if it had taken the form of letters, or of the human face. If I had met with this ring of light while groping in this forest alone, away from any fire, I should have been still more surprised. I little thought that there was such a light shining in the darkness of the wilderness for me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You ask what I have found and far and wide I go,
Nothing but Cromwell’s house and Cromwell’s murderous crew,
The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,
And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
