Mark Palmer (cricketer)

Mark Brendon Palmer (born 10 February 1967) is a former Australian cricketer who played a single List A match for Western Australia during the 1989–90 season. From Perth, Palmer played at state under-16 and under-19 level, and played several matches as wicket-keeper for the Australian under-19 cricket team during both the 1985–86 and 1986–87 seasons. He went on to attend the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS), participating in its cricket program. Having previously played for the state colts team, Palmer's sole match at senior state level came against Sri Lanka, during its 1989–90 tour of Australia. The match, played at the end of Sri Lanka's tour, was the first of a two-part series, with both matches held at the WACA Ground in early February 1990. Western Australia trialled several new players in both matches, with Palmer one of four List A debutants in the match, alongside Brendan Julian, Chris Mack, and Darrin Ramshaw. Replacing usual state wicket-keeper Tim Zoehrer, Palmer was bowled by Rumesh Ratnayake for a golden duck, but took two catches in Sri Lanka's innings, off the bowling of Peter Capes and Steve Russell. He did not play at state level again.

Famous quotes by Mark Palmer:

"We're discussing with various parties, including the U.S. trustee in the bankruptcy case, the best way to proceed. We will hopefully come to some conclusions in due course."
"A company that would emerge from this bankruptcy would probably be centered around these core energy assets, and we've always talked about putting them on the auction block. If all of them sell, we would be looking at winding down the rest of the estate to maximize the amount of value for the creditors."
"settlement is almost always preferable to litigation."
"The officers can act as a liaison between the schools and other police officers, ... We look forward to this and think it will be a successful program."
"Prayers are being answered,"
"People out there killing dolphins can actually label [their tuna] as dolphin-safe."
"We have no knowledge about the documents in possession of ABC News, nor the significance of those documents, but we do know what we have repeatedly told our employees since October 25 -- and that is in no uncertain terms that they are to preserve all documents and materials,"
"We 're pleased to have reached a tentative agreement so we may be able to pay additional severance benefits to our former employees."
"Taiwanese should not feel depressed at the tumultuous situation in the pursuit of democracy, for Taiwan has actually achieved the highest level of freedom."
"The educational value of sharks in captivity is overrated."
