I would consider any fast bowler under 1.83 m to be "short" by today's cricket standards. Wagner falls into that category too.

Any fast bowler under 1.90 could even be considered short by todays standards really (all the Aussies are well over, even Southee is 1.93) but tall in the general populace, which is the point. How many under 1.79? Even historically.

If that's your standard, Fred Trueman. Listed at 1.78 m. But he would have been tall for his era.

Dunno if any of you know but he got out for a duck in his last dig, what a shit player. No way an Indian Batsman would do that.

You Bobs or Vegene?

Gladstone Small. Google says 5'11".

Midget!

Nice, so we have one (albeit from 50 to 60 years ago). Average height has increased by about an inch in the last 50 years so certainly not a tall guy even then.

WG Grace looked big and tall and imposing with the kind of beard a craft beer enthusiast would cream his pants over but was he in fact a short man by modern standards ?

Take it as a compliment we chose your thread to sabotage.

While you’re here can you give us an ultimate cricket XI of short batsmen and tall bowlers ?

Her favourite players were Imran Khan and Wasim Akram. Who doesn’t love a fast bowler?

Well she does like a bouncer. Fond of getting hit in the box too.
