Leyland Sanders

Wisden Cricketers' Almanack obituary

SANDERS, LEYLAND ARTHUR, died on January 3, 2005, aged 77. Ley Sanders was a Queensland wicketkeeper-batsman of the early 1950s whose career was blocked by the presence of Don Tallon and Wally Grout. Giving up the gloves, he was unable to make enough runs to hold his place, though he played some valuable defensive innings in his ten first-class matches.
