Six foot Nine.What about Andy Bichel?
Gilchrist has been said to be above average height for a keeper, and I have always found him to look on the taller side. Why is 6'2" a surprise?Yeah I saw Gilchrist was listed at 1.87 which is effectively 6'2 and I don't buy that for a second ...I reckon he's just over 6 foot at very the most ..and Damien Fleming pictured there (& actually relevant to thread) I'd guess would be 5'11
Tiny Desai?There was one skinny short Indian bowler in the 1950s, who was not necessarily fast but had a lethal skiddy bouncer.
Keep forgetting his name, he was 5 feet 4 inches and a Maharashtrian I guess.
It's often pointed out that he has a very low release point, easy to confuse that with heightI swear I remember someone telling me that Brett Lee was suspiciously short for a quick bowler at around the 5'11 mark, but apparently he's 6'2.
Haha yeah.It's often pointed out that he has a very low release point, easy to confuse that with height
Good guess! The surname helped me.Tiny Desai?
Because 6 foot is still well above the average height for a keeper. Look at him next to a 5'9/5'10 Ricky Ponting, he doesn't have 5 inches on Punter, looks more like 3 at the most IMO, which I'm guessing would make him between 6 foot & 6'1 (at the very most). I'm guessing Mark Waugh is about 5'11 1/2 (or 6 foot at a stretch) and Gilly has no more than 1 inch on him.Gilchrist has been said to be above average height for a keeper, and I have always found him to look on the taller side.
