While height helps one to become a better fast bowler, its the lack of height that makes one a better batsmen. Here goes the list ..

Sunil Gavaskar - 5'4''
Sachin Tendulakr - 5'5''
Brian Lara - 5'6''
Donald Bradman - 5'7''
David Boon - 5'6''
Saeed Anwar - 5'5''

Now THAT is a real emotion when a person is devastatingly frustrated with his life's failures and makes comment about someone he is extremely jealous of. :)

This is called "Hitting below the belt"! Marathi members will hurl abuses at Mahindra Singh now...
One cannot take the credit away from Sachin that he was loyal to his wife even though she is 5 years older. Sachin could have kept any number of bollywood starlets as mistresses but he stuck to his wife. He deserves full credit for that.

Given a chance this guy will just replace Sachin family with MSD and grab attention. It is called attention sickness disorder in which people do acts that brings shame to them which also brings attention. Just enjoy his commentary here. ;)

He is 6 feet 10. The Paki Board must have measured his height with shoes and up to his mop of hair, or they used a meter tape made in Pakistan, 10% error tolerance...

It is nice to see cricketers with strong build up.Alex Hales and Keiron Pollard are 2 batsmen having around 6 and a half feet height and we know their power hitting abilities.Irfan can generate very good bounce on pitching short of length which will be unplayable if right on target.Want to see him improve his batting also as he can easily clear ropes with his power.

Unfortunately in India strong men with good height never play cricket. We had Srinath and Venky two bowlers with good height and now Ishanth. Otherwise all other pace bowlers are less that 5.5 feet and look like starved for weeks. BCCI should find some boys with good height from northern states especially Punjab & Haryana to train them for future in fast bowling.

Of what use was Venkatesh Prasad's height? That giraffe could not even cross 130 kmph speed!

Brett Lee and Shane Bond were shorter than both Javagal and Venky and yet used to rip the ball through.

Height is not the sole criteria at all for fast bowling. Technique, attitude and talent are.

I can assume ur knowledge on cricket by ur above comments. What use was venky's height, he could not cross 130kmph. Y do you need speed to take wickets, You can swing the ball as well to get wickets, which is what venky did. He had 7-8 good years of international cricket, he has acheived his objective, has you? and Shane bond also played around 7-8yrs of international cricket, so u mean, bond is successfull and venky is failure, just b'coz he didnt cross 130kmph. Pls dont show ur knowledge on cricket or lack of it, to the outside world.
