5 tallest cricketers in the cricket world… bone breaking bowling, who changed the thrill of the game with his height

New Delhi. 'Height' has always been a topic of discussion in the world of cricket. While short batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar ruled with their technique, on the other hand there were some 'Khali of Cricket' who made their height the biggest weapon. In the history of international cricket, bowlers ranging from 6 feet 7 inches to more than 7 feet tall have created fear in the minds of batsmen with their bouncers and sharp yorkers. We are discussing those 5 tallest bowlers in the world, who created a sensation on the cricket field with their height.

Whenever there is talk of the tallest player in the history of international cricket, the name of Pakistan's Mohammad Irfan will come on top. When Irfan, who was 7 feet 1 inch tall, used to run to bowl, the batsmen often became uncomfortable. Because of this height, Irfan got extra bounce. It was very easy for him to throw bouncers, which would land directly on the batsman's chest or helmet. For Pakistan, he took 83 wickets in 60 ODIs, 16 wickets in 22 T20s and 10 wickets in 4 Test matches. However, due to injuries his career could not last long. But during the 2012-13 tour of India, he troubled the Indian batsmen a lot.

Joel Garner's height was 6 feet 8 inches
Joel Garner, popularly known as 'Big Bird', was a West Indies bowler in the era when the Caribbean team dominated world cricket. While Irfan was known for his bounce due to his height, Garner was adept at bowling accurate yorkers due to his height. His ball used to come from so high that the batsman was late in understanding the line of the ball. Garner's career was very successful. 259 wickets in 58 Tests and 146 wickets in 98 ODIs show his excellent control.

Bruce Reed and Peter George also took advantage of their height
Australia has always given tall fast bowlers to the world. Both Bruce Reed and Peter George were 6 feet 8 inches tall, but there was a huge difference in their careers. Reid was one of the main bowlers of Australia. He also achieved a lot of success against India and later became the bowling coach of the Indian team. George's career was like a 'flash'. George, who made his debut against India in 2010, was successful in taking the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar, but after that he could never play international cricket.

Kyle Jamieson proved his length and speed
In modern cricket, Kyle Jamieson is a name who proved his length and speed as soon as he arrived. The 6 feet 8 inches tall Jamieson is considered the X-factor of the 'Kiwi' team. The special thing about Jamieson is that he not only bowls but also bats well in the lower order. Taking 80 wickets in 19 Tests shows that he is an excellent red ball bowler. Jamieson, who has played for RCB, has made good use of his height on Indian pitches as well.

The batsmen's legs started trembling on hearing the name of Ambrose.
The batsmen of the 90s used to tremble on hearing the name of Curtly Ambrose. The biggest strength of 6 feet 7 inches tall Ambrose was his 'stinginess' and 'dangerous bouncer'. If we compare him with Irfan or Jamieson, Ambrose's discipline makes him different from everyone else. He could bowl on the same line-length for hours. He took 405 wickets in 98 Tests and 225 wickets in 176 ODIs. The mountain-like record of a total of 630 wickets makes him the most successful bowler in this list.
