Top 10 tallest cricketers of all-time

4. Joel Garner | 6’8″ (203 cm)

Known as the Big Bird, Joel Garner was another fast-bowling sensation produced in the factory of fast bowlers in the Caribbean islands in the ’70s and the ’80s. The Barbados pacer was easily amongst the most feared players during his cricketing days and the batsmen were often left clueless due to his pace. While you might talk about several bowlers who bowl great yorkers in modern-times, Garner mastered this art back in those days itself.

His yorkers hit exactly the base of the stumps and would have reached the wickets even before the batsmen could get their bat down to fend at them. This, when combined with the bounce that he used to extract bowling from over 7 feet height, was an absolute nightmare for the batsmen.

Back in those days, Garner was literally unplayable at the death overs. In 58 Tests, he picked up 259 wickets and accumulated 146 scalps in 98 ODIs.
