Graham Yallop is a former Australian captain who played as a left-handed batsman during the 1970s and early 1980s.

Known for his elegant stroke play and resilience under pressure, Yallop represented Australia in both Test and One Day International (ODI) cricket, often batting in the middle order.

He played 39 Tests, scoring 2,511 runs at an average of 32.00, including 6 centuries and 14 fifties, with a highest score of 268. In 30 ODIs, he scored 558 runs at an average of 24.26, with 3 half-centuries.

Yallop is remembered for stepping into leadership roles during transitional periods for Australian cricket, including captaining the team during the absence of senior players due to World Series Cricket. His career was marked by moments of brilliance, such as crucial centuries against strong opposition, though he also faced criticism for inconsistency.
