Poor old Yallop is a bit unfairly forgotten, overshadowed by the nadir of Kim Hughes and nirvana of Border.
I remember watching him against West Indies in 98 and it looked like he was finally going to come good but alas that was not to be.Someone once said that if batting were a beauty contest, then Carl Hooper would be Miss World. You could say the same about Ramprakash. Unfortunately he had the mental strength to match.

Better view of (I think) this helmetYou can reckon all you like. It's from the 1978 tour. This is Yallop as captain in 1978/79, wearing the actual second generation of helmets.

Certainly didn’t do enough to erase the years of wasted talent but hooper at least earned some redemption during his last incarnation as a test player, I think he averaged aroun 50 over his last 30 tests. Ramprakash could have done the same if given the chance I think

Ended up in Perth, don't know how he's doing at the moment but never heard anyone speak a bad word of him. So hopefully he's doing well!
Robin Smith: ‘I drank vodka from the bottle. There were no half measures’
Fearless against the West Indies pace attack, the former England cricketer tells Donald McRae how retirement left him drinking heavily and close to taking his own lifewww.theguardian.com
Agreed that Athers is one of the best commentators going and a fantastic writer, but was a weird decision that failed to recognise personal context.
His brother Chris runs a sports shirt business in Perth - Dyenamic Sublimation - and I think he is working there. Don't quote me on that - just a memory of an interview Chris did on the radio about it a while back.Had some involvement with Subi-Floreat in Perth Grade Cricket IIRC - one of the WA watchers may be able to correct me if I've got the wrong club.
Played with South Perth prior to his international career, no idea post international. Around the same time, Alec Stewart played with Midland-Guildford.Had some involvement with Subi-Floreat in Perth Grade Cricket IIRC - one of the WA watchers may be able to correct me if I've got the wrong club.
Mate..... facing those campaigners you’d want to wear a full helmet.Wow did he really?!?
My respect for him has dipped immeasurably

Anyone remember that random sheikh from the UAE who went out to face peak Allan Donald in just a floppy hat? His name escapes me right now
EDIT: Sultan Zarawani is the bloke I was thinking of
Batshit crazy stuff that

Watching footage of Robin Smith getting sconned on the chin by a vicious off cutter from Courtney Walsh in 1990. About a minute in...
Ouch. Probably a good thing people don’t don the grill-less helmets anymore. Smith’s pain threshold is insane, that would have hurt so badly.
it was brilliant. The bloke thrived in fast bowling.Deadset must have had rocks in his head to not wear a grill before getting hit, then taking a ball straight on the jaw at pace and not wearing one after. That's the sort of stuff AB probably dreams about. Utterly stupid machismo
Unsure whether it was a true grin or a massive wince from the pain!Love the grin he gave Walsh after the last one.
