Top 10 tallest cricketers of all-time
Historically, some of the tallest players the sport has ever witnessed have been bowlers.
9. Sulieman Benn | 6’7″ (201 cm)
Built like a fierce tall fast bowler, Sulieman Benn is an extremely aggressive character. The left-arm spinner is no stranger to controversies and has seen several of those throughout his career. He was once set off the field by Chris Gayle after Benn refused to comply with his orders. The most controversial of all the incidents came when Dale Steyn spat at the tall spinner after he continuously had a go at the South African.
Benn’s disciplinary issues saw him being left out of the 2011 World Cup squad but he made it into the final cut for the 2015 edition of the tournament. If not his attitude, Benn could have been one of the most important players in the Windies team.
His tall frame helps him get the drift and the delivery comes out of his hand at an awkward angle for the batsmen as he bowls with a round-arm action. He has got 144 international wickets across all the three formats.
