10. Chris Tremlett | 6’7″ (201 cm)

Chris Tremlett was an immensely talented fast bowler. He was from a cricket family background as his father was a country cricketer and his Grandfather represented England in Test cricket. His height gave him an advantage of delivering nice bouncers and he almost picked a hattrick in the first encounter but in the hattrick ball, bails refused to fall.

Even after being full of talent, he wasn’t able to become a successful bowler the main reason behind this was, Injuries. He was an injury-prone bowler and kept getting knee and back injuries again and again.
