With a father as tall as him and brothers who are 6'5" and 6'3", it's probably fair to say that the tall gene runs in the family. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2010/sep/08/mohammad-irfan-pakistan-ipl

This is from Guardian ,No mention sister or parents taller than him.Yaar tum log kuchch to kam chhorra karo. thodi akal lagao If there is any family where both mother and father are above 7 feet and 2-3 sibling are also above 7 feet then with or without cricket they will be in media all over the world

[Hur Rizvi]

His speed dropped from 145k to 135k in his 3rd over. :orderorder: He is ok for T20's only. You know padosi's are asking him to be included in test squad just after this match. :cantstop:

he did bowl a 147kph delivery in his last over though that was a wide but still shows he can consistently bowl at that pace As far as tests are concerned he can be included in the squad as he has taken wickets at first class level consistently. We dont have a bowler of his pace in tests so might be worth giving a go to him though there are other deserving bowlers like his team mate at multan "Rahat Ali" who also bowls near 140kph and "Asad Ali" who is on bench in t20 squad and youngster ehsan adil can also be given a go

Scary guy. Looks to have improved a lot since he got that Test debut

The pitches are so flat even our pitches seem like perth compared to those.

What a rubbish post! Where have you seen pakistani pitches? Look at the scores in the recent concluded first class competition (final yet to be played though) and compare that to the 500+ 600+ scores in Ranjhi. You hardly saw a score passing 400. The wickets were completey seamingfriendly and that has been the case for the last couple of seasons. Yes our batsmen suck, nothing new about that, but to say pakistani wickets are flatter than indians is completely wrong. There is a reason Pakistan produce fast bowlers, while India produce trundlers. Poor bowlers of India can't be encouraged looking at GT roads week after week.

Have u watched test matches in pakistan.If not go and visit cricinfo till then stfu. Even if dc pitches are whole diff from test pitches many teams have scored 600+. Ranji trophy has so many teams offcourse more will score.Even ranji trophy has many greentops where like of vinay kumAR,Joginder sharma take wickets.Regarding indian fast bowlers .We have some good fastbowlers who can clock 145ks even in tests in last spell .so i disagree.

He has put on almost 20k in terms of max speed according to this interview. Abdul Habib: What’s the story behind you being clocked at 128k. When you saw the speeds you were clocking did you get scared that you wouldn’t get selected? Mohammad Irfan: I hadn’t bowled in a long time and my fitness wasn’t good due to an injury last year, so I knew my speeds would be down. Aaqib asked me if I’d ever been clocked before and so I said no I hadn’t. Then he told me that he was going to check my speed, the highest I clocked was 128k but Aaqib told me not to worry because this was down to the fact that I hadn’t done any strength training before. He said that if I could clock 135k+ then I would be a very dangerous bowler at any level of cricket due to the advantage of my height and the bounce that I get. http://www.cricistan.com/mohammad-irfan-interview-part-one-tallest-cricketer-fast-bowler/

[CoverDrive]

impressed with his improvement - he has definitely upped the pace. was really poor last time he played in england

[Asim]

Akram coaching can make him deadly. his bowling action just before releasing the ball had a minute similarity with Akram's action, here onwards he should just work on improving skills, 140k with this height + Akram like fast bowling skills can make him unplayable on most of surfaces... other hand improper coaching with un-necessary experiments can make him disappear very soon...

[Vilander]

BTW could anybody tell me How Mohammed Irfan gained 3 inches height ? Last time media was saying he is 6 feet 10 inches now he is 7 feet 1

He is still taller than Joel garner (6'8") that makes him the tallest cricketer ever i suppose. But yeah he is more like 6'10 and not 7 foot.

[chota_prakash]

Some tall people keep growing so it's plausible that he is 7ft now.

[rkt.india]

Tom Moody is 6'10" too.

[mastana]

According to Lahori logic his height will increase even further once he tours Australia and South Africa. :yay:

[Tiger80]

Tom Moody is 6'10" too.

Tom moody is 6-6 or 6-7 not 6 -10
