Wisden Cricketer of the Year 1994 During his 15 long years of association with Australian team as a cricketer, David Boon formed the mainstay of the batting line up. Coming in to bat at number 3, David Boon batted with apparent casualness but intense concentration and piled up runs at a decent pace. One of Tasmania's most loved cricketers, David Boon as a 18 year old and achieved fame much beyond his years when he played a key role in Tasmania's maiden Gillette Cup win in 1978-79. David Boon played in 107 tests and scored 7422 at a respectable average of 43.65. David Boon's leadership enhanced his mettle as a great cricketer. Under his captaincy Durham, an English County side achieved remarkable success; Tasmania too prospered under his guidance. David Boon's contribution to Australian cricket can be gauged by the naming of a major stand at NTCA ground in Launceston, after him. One of David Boon's teammates credits David Boon with the record of finishing the most number of beer cans on the flight to the England tour- a feat of great respectability, according to the Australians.
