Top 5 tallest cricketers ever

#3 Joel Garner – 203cm (6 feet 8 inches)

Guess which one he is!

Joel was commonly remembered by the name of “Big Bird” and he was easily one of the most fearsome West Indies bowlers of all-time. And going by the stature of West Indies’ quicks of the past, that is saying quite a bit.

The tall and slim fast bowler was successful even on wickets that were conducive to batting, and confused batsmen with the steep bounce that he produced with balls that were pitched short of a length.

And then there were his constant, toe-crushing yorkers. Garner completed his career with an average of 20 in Tests and 18 in ODIs, and was the epitome of the powers of height for a fast bowler.
