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:
“Nature herself has not provided the most graceful end for her creatures. What becomes of all these birds that people the air and forest for our solacement? The sparrow seems always chipper, never infirm. We do not see their bodies lie about. Yet there is a tragedy at the end of each one of their lives. They must perish miserably; not one of them is translated. True, “not a sparrow falleth to the ground without our Heavenly Father’s knowledge,” but they do fall, nevertheless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Flick stands tall among the idiot pumps—
Five on a side, the old bubble-head style,
Their rubber elbows hanging loose and low.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
