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:
“We then entered another swamp, at a necessarily slow pace, where the walking was worse than ever, not only on account of the water, but the fallen timber, which often obliterated the indistinct trail entirely. The fallen trees were so numerous, that for long distances the route was through a succession of small yards, where we climbed over fences as high as our heads, down into water often up to our knees, and then over another fence into a second yard, and so on.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is regret. Always, there is regret.
But it is better that our lives unloose,
As two tall ships, wind-mastered, wet with light,
Break from an estuary with their courses set,
And waving part, and waving drop from sight.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
