Question for the Cricket lot on here

[Remi Garde]

I was following the test match live text and Boycott was discussing which other batsmen could be drafted in. Once Taylor was mentioned he said he didn't fancy him and that he is too small. I was just wondering why height should be a disadvantage for a batsman?

First non-Yorkshire man to play for Yorkshire, 5'4" Sachin Tendulkar, one of the worlds finest ever batsman. Brought to the club by ..... Geoff Boycott

Was a bit **** for Yorkshire, though.

[PET]

evidence points to the contrary


Sachin Tendulkar - 5'5"
Sunil Gavaskar - 5'5"
Sir Don - 5'7"
Brian Lara - 5'8"
Steve Waugh - 5'9"
Allan Border - 5'9"

and Boycs himself was 5'10"..
