How much is height the defining factor for Windies win over NZ?

[sage]

 

How can the Kiwis even compete?

[vvvslaxman]

Actually they have Guptill, Santner who are tall. But in terms of extracting bounce from the pitch Windies bowlers are second to none. Some of their wickets were due to the bounce they got.   Sai Hope is a short guy though.

NZ has lots of super tall 2 meter + players almost in every squad like that jaimison kid. In history only 2 meter or there abts from India are ishant pankaj nilesh kulkarnai and kuruvilla that I can remember.

Indians and bangladeshi are stunted due to nutrition its a problem . Example rahane he must be 5 ft and 50 kg bit shoulders should be around a normal person's forearm length..he must go to kids section in West to get apparel perhaps..

Mishfiquzyxer rahim must go to toddlers section.

Kohli is 5'9-10. Rohit 5'7-8 which is fine by Indian average height of 5'4.

Too much money man.. well deserved too. Kohli makes me proud he is Indian poster boy, Rohit is a dad bod but a good captain. 

 

I am reasonably tall, a touch under 6'3 but not an athlete lol

Height is a huge factor in bowling. It is always a big factor in any sport.

no man height can vary based on genetics yes and no one has control over it. but stunted growth and lack of muscle mass in shoulders , core, legs that's just laziness( thats rahane chahal ) - especially for international athletes. Most indian males on the streets are around 5'8 thats around 175 cm which is normal adult height 175 to 188 is normal height range no issues there - this is a specific issue with food habits, nutrition and work ethic.

Average height of a current Indian (2020 study) is between 5 feet 7 to 5 feet 8. India has 1.2 billion people and not all are from Punjab

Indian average height has already increased from 5 feet 4 to 5 feet 8 in just last decade because of better nutrition

Yep Punjabis & paharis around himachal & J&K are pretty tall.  I guess people in Southern India have good height as well.  Maybe the general perception is regarding UP Bihar..  That most of them are short compared to rest of the country.  I mean general assumption in the country
