About Graham Yallop
Graham Neil Yallop (born 7 October 1952) is a former cricketer who played for Victoria and Australia.
He captained Australia briefly during the tumultuous era of World Series Cricket (WSC) in the late 1970s.
A technically correct left-handed batsman, Yallop invariably batted near the top of the order for Australia during a stop-start international career that began in 1975–76 against the West Indies.
In 1978, Yallop made history as the first player to wear a full helmet in a Test match.
He also enjoyed a long and successful career with his home state Victoria, leading them to two Sheffield Shield titles.
