Top 10 tallest cricketers of all-time

6. Bruce Reid | 6’8″ (203 cm)

Bruce Reid, a left-arm fast bowler from Australia, could have been a great asset to the Australian team in the ’80s. Hailing from Perth, he used to swing the ball on a consistent basis. Moreover, given that he was quite tall, he could extract great bounce as well. He is the first Australian bowler to pick a hat-trick in ODIs and was a terrific bowler.

However, Australia would still rue the fact that his career was plagued by several injuries when the team was undergoing turbulent times. At just 29 years of age, Bruce Reid had to announce his retirement as his body completely gave up on him.

Later, he worked as the bowling coach of the Indian team and had stints with Zimbabwe and Hampshire as the coach. In a seven-year-long career, he only could play 27 Tests and 61 ODI which is massively frustrating for any sportsman.
