Was Bruce Reid the skinniest international cricketer in history?

The bloke looked anorexic when he was playing.

Would've been an absolute legend of the game if he had a decent body. Probably as good as McGrath if he'd been durable.

Chris Martin was whippet thin in his first run in the side in the early 00's.

Bruce Reid makes Peter Crouch look like Mr Universe. You forget how spindly he actually was. Top bowler though when he was fit.
