.....anyone else seen this guy?

Just watching him bowl for Pakistan against SA, has anyone ever seen a bowler as tall as this?
It was only when I saw him stand next to Graeme Smith - a big fecker himself - I realised he must be a bloody giant, facing him at 7" 1' must be a bloody nightmare.

If he lasts a decent few years without serious back and shoulder injuries I will be amazed.0

Proves size doesnt equal quality - he's shit.0

A tad harsh, he's raw but a bit of a handful when he gets it right.The_President said:Proves size doesnt equal quality - he's shit.

Brown 1905, you're just a brown 19050

Depends, Steve Harmison was pony more than he had a great game but always posed interesting questions. Remember he was once ranked number 1 in the world. If as a tall bowler you get it right you can be really dangerous, Glenn McGrath got it right 99% of the time and was one of the greatest.The_President said:Proves size doesnt equal quality - he's shit.

Plus I've just seen he's a left armed bowler, would bowl it at an awkward angle and an awkward height so definitely has potential.0

He played in the England-Pakistan ODI series a couple of years ago and did nothing.
At 30, almost 31 it's now or never for him.0 -

Great story about Joel Garner told by Simon Hughes: Garner is attending a post-match reception and a female admirer approached him, looked him up and down and flirtatiously said, "Oh, Mr. Garner, you are a big chap, I do hope you're built in proportion?"Oakster said:

Garner replied deadpan, "Lady, if I was built in proportion I'd be 8 foot tall!"
Don't know if its true but great story anyway!0 -
that is taaaaaaaaaallll .... a constant back complaint awaits this young man0

I think he competes in the WWE as the Great Khali0

If his action is legal and in the spirit of the game, it will make a nice change for a bowler from that part of the world.0

Nothing wrong with his action, but with legs as long as a giraffe he does bowl quite a few no balls - must be like bowling on skis.MountsfieldPark said:If his action is legal and in the spirit of the game, it will make a nice change for a bowler from that part of the world.
