David A. Tall

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:

    There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Equilibrists lie here; stranger, tread light;
    Close, but untouching in each other’s sight;
    Mouldered the lips and ashy the tall skull.
    Let them lie perilous and beautiful.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
