<strong>The Bulk Leaders- 5 Heaviest Cricketers:</strong> Fitness is an indispensable attribute for an athlete of any sport. More so in cricket because of the dives that the fielders have to put in and the swift agility that is needed to stop the runs, the need to be a fleet footed fielder with quick reflexes and the need to run between the wickets as a batsman, and possess an enviable frame if you are a pacer in order to run in fast and deliver the ball. But over the past few years, there have been some cricketers who were rather unusually heavy for a cricketer.

<strong>The Bulk Leaders- 5 Heaviest Cricketers:</strong>

<strong>1. Warwick Armstrong &#8211; 133 Kg:</strong>

Without a doubt, the heaviest player ever to step out on to a cricket pitch is this man Warwick Armstrong from Australia. He was nicknamed as the big ship owing to his bulky size. He was a good batsman who had a solid defensive technique and appreciable temperament. He also bowled leg spin occasionally. A talented Australian rules footballer, Armstrong briefly represented South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League before playing Test cricket. He weighed 133 Kg at one point of time.

<strong>2. Dwayne Leverock &#8211; 127 Kg:</strong>

Dwayne Leverock of Bermuda played in the 2007 World cup. Leverock rose to eminence owing to his rather unusual weight and also for his one handed stunning catch that sent Robin Uthappa back to the pavilion in a group game against India. He formerly worked as a policeman in Bermuda. But unfortunately Bermuda performed miserably in all of its group stage matches and crashed out of the tournament. As of 2007, Leverock weighed 127 Kg.

<strong>3. Richie Kaschula &#8211; 126 Kg:</strong>

Richie Kaschula was one of Rhodesia&#8217;s most prominent players and a legendary figure for the side throughout the 1970&#8217;s and the early 1980&#8217;s. He was a genuine No. 11 batsman and was one of the leading domestic bowlers of his time He became a national selector but was removed in the purge following the government takeover in 2006.

<strong>4. Colin Milburn &#8211; 121 Kg:</strong>

Colin Milburn of England finds himself in the 4th position in the list of heaviest cricketers. He played 9 test matches for England but unfortunately his career ended too soon following an accident that snatched away much of his eye sight. He was naturally talented and a clean striker of the cricket ball and had it not been for the loss of sight in his left eye, he could have gone to be one of the prolific run scorers of his time. He weighed 121 Kg at one point of time and is one of the heaviest cricketers.

<strong>5) Inzamam Ul Haq &#8211; 103 Kg:</strong>

Inzamam Ul Haq was undoubtedly one of the heaviest cricketers of his time. He has the dubious distinction of being run out for the most number of times (40). He lost 10 Kilos ahead of the 2003 World cup as revealed in an interview. Inzamam was one of the most versatile and most prolific run scorers for Pakistan. According to Imran Khan, he had the talent that was equal to Sachin or Lara.
