See the above pics. If McGrath is 6'5" then both Starc and Hazle too.

May be Mcgrath was a weak 6'5 and years of bowling has taken a toll and he has lost a bit of his height with age ?

Any idea how Salman Irshad, the fast bowler from J&K is playing for Pakistan and not India? How is that possible?

Actually, we have not seen the best of Ishan. Unfortunately, he got injured in this tournament, but you are going to see a lot more of him. If not for that [left-heel] injury, I was confident he would have touched 140kph as well. It just hasn't worked out for him in this tournament, but he has a long road ahead.

He does it all the time ... and at 135 k to 145 k with skid off the deck and movement.  Has a good bouncer too.

 

Which is why I want him in our test team asap.

Yeah thats pretty tall, its actually interesting, he might be one of the tallest batsmen for India along with KLR and VVS.  Wonder if there is any special stats for these three...higher percentage of  LBW's or something..would be interesting.

ok forgot Ravi at 6'4.

Excerpt from an interview of Ray Jenning, former South African coach and player --

 

 

" Former South African cricketer and coach Ray Jennings came down heavily on South Africa team management for trying to doctor pitches during the recently concluded Test series against India, which South Africa won 2-1, saying the tactic nearly backfired. "They tried doctoring pitches in the Tests and it was so close that South Africa almost lost the series. Such pitches won't help because India have a great pace attack. Even the spinners will get help from seam friendly juiced up pitches," Jennings' pointed observation is sure to leave the home team red-faced.

 

For Jennings, the move could have backfired since India now have a potent pace attack.

 

"Ten years ago, India didn't have any fast bowlers. Now they have so many, starting from Under-19 itself, and the minimum they bowl is 135 which used to be maximum years ago," Jennings said.  "

Saini is probably weak 6'1" like Sangwan who too is over 6 feet but only half an inch over 6. Khejroliya is weak 6'2". he is taller than both Sangwan and Saini.
