10. Curtly Ambrose

Ambrose was one of the greatest West Indies players who ever lived at fast; 6'7" (201 cm), he was fast and accurate, making it very hard to score against him.

9. Peter George

Another 6'8" (203 cm) bowler for Australia, George has had the name pretty much on his person. He didn't play so much, but his height certainly stood out.

8. Cameron Cuffy

Another 6'8" (203 cm) West Indian bowler, he was steady and managed to use his height effectively to obtain bounce.

7. Blessing Muzarabani

This Zimbabwean bowler is also 6'8" (203 cm). His height gives him the bounce and makes him a difficult player to bat against.

6. Kyle Jamieson

From New Zealand, Jamieson is 6'8'' (203 cm) with a great reputation for delivering bounce and has secured an important place in the team.

5. Bruce Reid

This tall Australian fast bowler stood at 6'8" (203 cm). He could swing the ball, bounce it extra, and that's dangerous.

4. Joel Garner

Another-ever-known Big Bird, West Indies legend Garner clocked in at 6'8" (203 cm). He bowled spitting-fast yorkers and was a nightmare to face.

3. Boyd Rankin

Standing at 6'8.5" (204 cm), Rankin played for both Ireland and England. He uses his height to extract a bounce that catches the batters off guard.

2. Marco Jansen

This tall-achieving South African all-rounder stands at 6'10" (208 cm). Given his height and left-arm pace, he can really push batters into a corner.

1. Mohammad Irfan

At 7'1" (216 cm), Irfan is the tallest Pakistani cricketer ever. His height converts the bowling into a real nightmare on the field.
