Curtly looks very tall indeed!
I had a cat called Ambrose, named after ‘the rice pudding cat’ by my late boyfriend!
Ambrose was a big female cat, but no way was she as big a cat as Ambrose is a man.
6ft7. 😆

@Darksol64 I agree completely. My rule of thumb is that Rob is almost exactly at the average 6'6 guy's chin level. By that I mean the very bottom of their chin. At a quarter inch above 6'6, my chin level is in the 5'8.5" to 5'8 5/8" range. I don't have a big head for my height. In a picture it would be roughly a half inch above Rob's scalp.
It's a bit hard to tell because of the shadow, but Curtly's chin looks around 3cm above Rob's scalp. That makes him around 3/4" taller than me right off the bat, so 6'7. However, he's also further away from the camera than Rob, so he could be a fraction over that. Perhaps 6'7 1/8, or a solid 201cm guy. Certainly over 200cm.

@ JD1996- My thoughts exactly.
Noticeably taller than any 6'6 guy I've seen listed. Huge next to Rob!
At least 6'7, probably even a little over peak thus rounding up to 6'8. Could of been

I wonder if he could have been 6’7.5” 202 cm when he was younger like 30 years old for example and got measured at or near 6’8” earlier in the day maybe 2/3 hours out of bed like a morning doctors measurement or something like that. He looks around 201 cm with rob Imo.

Here are my estimates based on several photos of Ambrose, Walsh and Bishop.
Ambrose- 6'7.25"
Walsh- 6'5.25" (he was taller than Glenn McGrath)
Bishop- 6'5.75" (he looked taller than Walsh in most photos)

Look at those arms and his height, lethal bowler, one of the greatest of alltime no doubt. A little more than 6'7 possible.

@ rob paul, another thing is that when i read tall life. Com , it is written that extreme tall or extreme short height has greater degree of error. So height percentile for extreme height is not accurate. Like i have never seen a person of 6.2 or more. Average height of india 5.5 and a half for mid 20s people. So about 8.5 inch taller than average.however i have seen many boys of 4.9 or under.

@Rahul, James Taylor was described as tall as 5'6 and as short as 5'4, it's a tragedy how his career ended, always saw bit of Tendulkar in him. Ironically, Sachin was his idol growing up.

I read about a Pakistani Spinner who is 7'4 and signed by a local T20 team and he looks that height, although I doubt he will make it to the international level. His name is Muddasar Gujjar.

Chris Junior Hernandez 1990, he has been measured as 6'8 in past but his official PCB measurement of 7'1" is absurd. I personally have him at 6'9". Regardless, he is the tallest to play international cricket. There was this bloke named Will Jefferson who used to play county cricket and I remember him being listed 6'10.5. Ironically, he was just a batsman.

The mother is around same height as Sachin. I recon good nutrition. I have almost 5 inches on my Dad myself & my mom is 5'1. Over 7 inches is massive difference between Father & Son.

Yeah Arjun Tendulkar is definitely north of 6'0, not sure how much. If Sachin is about 5'5, that's a massive height difference. Wonder where that comes from- Rob? What do you make of father-son differences of seven inches or more? The mother doesn't look too tall.

Yeah, Irfan has apparently been measured at 6'8, 6'10 and 7'1. 6'9 might be closer to reality.
Pucovski for some reason looked below average to me. Sachin claims 5'6.5 and his son claims 6'3". Both are exaggerating by bit, although its strange how big his son has grown.

@Rajiv I have an Indian name, a white English middle name and an Indian surname. I prefer to be anonymous on websites haha. I'm mixed race, look slightly more Indian than white (or so I've been told). My father's Punjabi family is quite tall for India (and above average among their peers I'd guess), my mum's white English family from Hampshire is quite average for the UK.

@ inches to cm, as i said i joined cricket academy and did everything like batting, bowling in nets etc. I was terrible batter but very good off spinner bowler. Could turn the ball miles but with illegal action ( chucking) obviously. Played there around 2015 to 2016 . Then left that academy due to an ankle injury. And football is big in bengal bigger than cricket . I never played football and never watched too. Just a few fifa wc games.

I also played some club cricket till 2005. I quit age 15 as I couldn't climb the ranks and cricket in Mumbai is really competitive.

How many people here play cricket? I used to play at school and uni. I was mostly at school in the UK (briefly in India as my dad's Indian and we moved there for a bit when I was growing up), and went to uni in England as well. I was a right-handed batsman who could bowl a bit of off-spin , fairly generic. I did represent school and uni sides, but have mainly played casual, backyard type games since I graduated around 6 years ago. Wouldn't mind taking up the sport at a slightly more competitive level though.
I was never good enough to play county cricket, let alone make the grade at the highest level, but I was decent for the level I played at, I suppose.

Re: Rankin, Finn, Tremlett - while Tremlett looks tallest in that team photo, the way they are arranged in the photo suggests Rankin is ‘supposed’ to be tallest. They would have compared heights before the photo and Rankin, as tallest, went in the middle. This also accords with their ‘official’ heights (Rankin is variously listed as 6’8” or 6’ 8 1/2”, Tremlett as 6’7”). Also if you compare other photos of them it’s not clear cut.
One thing for sure is that Finn wouldn’t often have been only the 3rd tallest guy in a team, let alone Broad only being 4th tallest!

@Inches_to_cm Pujara is dropping his shoulders a little in this pic but Unadkat still looks a good 6'2 in the pic, how much over 6'2? It's debatable though.also not only Bumrah is 5'10, I'm starting to think he might even be a little over 5'10,always looked a good inch or so taller than Virat, funny how Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah were initially listed on Google as 5'8.

@Rajiv Roy actually I hve measured the an average sports shoes has , which is a little over 4 cm and Pujara has almost flat footwear therefore I assumed my given advantage, also Rahane suddenly started looking 5'7 in late 2017,he also has a pic with Rahul Dravid where looks a good 5'7, growth in late 20s? Posture improvement? I don't know but might need to see more of him to confirm that he is a full 5'7.

Here's the most recent pic of Ajinkya Rahane with his teammates. here I am pretty much locked on Umesh Yadav being 5'10 and Pujara being somewhere around 5'11.5(wearing flats here).Rahane looks more or less 3 inches shorter than Pujara here even with 1.25 inch footwear advantage and Pujara leaning back thus pretty much confirming 5'6.5 for him.Jasprit Bumrah looks more or less same as Umesh(might be taller than Umesh while standing straight).Jadeja looks same as Rahane with flat footwear and leaning back, might be 5'8.5. Ashwin here is both leaning back and Sideways, maybe 6'1 but sure about him.
On to the Kiwis, I thinking you've nailed the heights for Kane,Boult and Southee, I'm not very sure on Jamieson yet.

Here's the most recent pic of Ajinkya Rahane with his teammates. here I am pretty much locked on Umesh Yadav being 5'10 and Pujara being somewhere around 5'11.5(wearing flats here).Rahane looks more or less 3 inches shorter than Pujara here even with 1.25 inch footwear advantage and Pujara leaning back thus pretty much confirming 5'6.5 for him.Jasprit Bumrah looks more or less same as Umesh(might be taller than Umesh while standing straight).Jadeja looks same as Rahane with flat footwear and leaning back, might be 5'8.5. Ashwin here is both leaning back and Sideways, maybe 6'1 but sure about him.

Not sure about Elysse. Boult could be 6'0 yes, 5'11 seems a bit low for him. Maybe weak 6'0 at the least, strong 6'0 at the most.
Do we reckon Gilly has lost height?

Kane- 5'8.5"
Boult- 6'
Southee- 6'3( or fraction higher)
New guy jamieson- 6'7( or fraction higher)

@ inches to cm, you can make a case textbook 6'1 peak for lee currently looks strong 6 foot. So probably about 6'0.25". Akhtar maybe 5' 11.5" peak to 5' 10.5" now. Do you know how tall is female aussie cricketer ellyse perry? About 5'8 or hair under.

@Dave- I'm not sure, but I'd say Brett Lee has lost some height. His peak may have been strong 6'1-weak 6'2 and now he's probably strong 6'0 or weak 6'1? Shoaib Akhtar from weak 6'0 to 5'11 range?
The easiest would be pacers who have suffered stress fractures, so you can look at that list and take a call. I'm not super serious about celebrity heights like a lot of people here, just interested. It helps pass the time when you are bored but don't want to watch Netflix.

@Rajiv I've not seen much to suggest Woakes is closer to 6'1, since he tends to look around the same height as 6 footers such as Root. 6'0.5 could be the highest he measures. Tremlett definitely looks a strong 6'7 maybe even 6'7.5.

@ chilling, bro shaw is pretty short. I think 5'3.5" would be fit for him. Gill is anywhere from 5'11 to 5'11.5". .agarwal is about 5'9 . Pant about 5'6.5". How about rahane? He looked taller than i thought. About 5'7.5" is possible for him.at first i thought only 5'6" for him.but looks bearly 2 inch shorter than kohli.

Interesting Rajiv. What would you say about the new kids in the Indian team? Being in the UK atm, I can't really watch many of the games live, except maybe bits of the first session before I go to bed. Looking at Shaw, Gill, Agarwal and Pant. I'd guess 5'4, at least 5'11, 5'9-ish and 5'5-5'7 respectively. Pant has gained weight, makes it hard.

@Inches_to_cm yeah you've pretty nailed the Chris' heights also fun fact,Chros Jordan is listed on Google as 6'2 right now , also I think Rankin surely edges out Steven Finn, not by much tho.
While we're at the subject of back issues,who do you think of all the cricketers have lost some amount of height? Me and Rajiv agreed on Rahul Dravid,Brett Lee,Mashrafe Mortaza and Shoaib Akhtar, I can add to the list names like Shane Warne (worst batting stance ever), probably Shahid Afridi and Sanath Jayasuriya. Who else do you think has lost height?

Since it is Chris-tmas (haha), what would you lads have to say about the three Chrises of England bowling? Jordan, Woakes and Tremlett? I'd say 5'10-11, 6'1-2 and 6'6-7 respectively. I believe the third Chris suffered from a bulging/herniated disc a while back.
On that note, Steven Finn and Boyd Rankin would also be around 6'7. Liam Plunkett around 6'3, as listed?

@Zahid that surely settles the debate on Gayle, Sammy and Pollard, only thing I'd add is probably a 1/4th or 1/2th of a Inch boost for Sammy since he leans forward in pretty much every pic but Gayle and Pollard debate seems to be at rest.
Also on the Indian player's front, I'd say you've nailed the heights of Srinath, Prasad, Kumble and Ganguly(probably could add that all 4 of them have lost atleast half an inch height owing to all the bent back while batting and bowling for 20+ years).
Yuvraj and Laxman are definitely not this short, I'd argue atleast 6'1 and 6'1.5 for Laxman and Yuvraj respectively.

@ inches to cm, well i am a mid 90s born kid, so exactly dont know how tall prasad and srinath are. Compare to other cricketers srinath gives me a feeling of legit 6.3. V prasasd probably about 6.3. Laxman is legit 6.1 . Always looked .5 inch shorter than yuvraj singh and kumble same as yuvraaj at 6 foot 1.5 inches. Yuvi as i said 6 foot 1.5 inches but sometimes looks close to 6.2 . So maybe 6' 1.75 inch at strech.dada ganguly is from my state bengal.his height is very confusing.but most likely 5 foot 9.5 inches. Very Similar to dhoni or kohli.

Yeah 2 inches seems like a fair gap here ,the ground is flat, both Chris and Sammy are leaning but Sammy is obviously more bent but still has an edge of Gayle. My Estimates for them would be:
1. Chris Gayle :6'3 - 6'3.5
2. Darren Sammy : 6'4.75 - 6'5.25

This should settle the debate on Keiron Pollard's height, look substantially taller than Chris Gayle even while leaning and as far Kane goes he has looked 173-174 with Virat Kohli but somehow looks around 4 inches shorter AB de Villiers plus the fact that Virat often stands with a relaxed posture, but then again you can also say make a case for De Villiers being 181cm or 182cm thus confirming Williamson's height as 174cm.

@ dave mills, just because he is listed at 189 cm which is closer to 6 foot 2.5 that does not mean he is that height. Krunal is 6 foot half an inch max three quarter inch. Anywhere from 184 to 184.7 cm.hardik is about 6 foot maybe a tad under. Pollard could 6 foot 3.5 inches who knows.i can bet that kane is not a strong 5.7. He is 174 cm or 5 foot 8.5 inches tall.

@Rajiv roy I don't think either one out of Virat Kohli or Keiron Pollard has lost height, just a matter of having a bad posture for Pollard otherwise he's still easily 6'5 when standing straight. I'd rather include Brad Hogg and Glenn McGrath as the height losing candidates as they've both played for 20+ years.

@ dave mills, even i think morne morkel has lost height. His legs looks bend a bit. Maybe due to leg surgery . Dont know. I think ambrose maybe 6 foot 6.75 inch currently and at peak possibly 6 foot 7.5 inches. So .75 inch loss possible for him.rahul dravid has lost 1 inch height obviously faced most deliveries in test history. Also faced many balls in odis because 10000 odd runs. But how much ? Possibly 1.5 inch. Peak 5.11 and currently 5 foot 9.5 inches. Shoaib akhtar , mortaza has lost height too by knee surgery. Infact most shocking is that pollard has lost around 1 inch height. Looked 6 foot 4 few years ago now 6.3. But then kohli also shrunk in height.

@Rajiv roy It's completely possible for Ambrose to have lost some height at the age of 57, maybe even a whole inch. What other cricketers do you think seem to have lost height? My guesses are Brett Lee,Shoaib Akhtar,Mashrafe Mortaza (all due to knee surgeries) and Rahul Dravid(played 31000 deliveries in test cricket, that's a lot of time to bend your back).

Any idea how many inches between Curtly Ambrose and Wasim Akram here:
Click Here:
Editor RobIt's tricky as Curtly looks a bit further away...but maybe there is almost 5 inches

I reckon he could be 2 metres same height as me or could be up to 201 cm

@Rob: time to open a "cricketer" category and add the likes of Mohammad Irfan (he is more of a 6'10" guy rather than the claimed 7'1")

Tried to compare your Hafthor image side by side with this one above: Click Here
Hafthor (listed 6'7.75" here) is indeed slightly taller. Curtly, therefore, is in the 6'7" range.

Maybe just a tap bit of weak 6'7 but not as low as 6'6-6'6.5". 6'6.75" at the low side.

Actually, Nevermind.
Kane still looked a lot taller than this (especially with his footwear advantage), in person.

He’s a good 199-200 cm guy after seeing the pic with Rob along with Ambrose and other contemporaries. Probably a weak 6’7”, 6’6 range guy very much on the cusp of 6’7.

Curtly was always slightly shorter than legit 6'8 Joel Garner and taller than 6'5/6'6 range Ian Bishop and Courtney Walsh. I'd say legit 6'7 for Curtly. When he toured England in 1988 some commentators described him as 6'8 and one, Ray Illingworth, described him as 6'9. Illingworth had a habit of over-estimating and once described Derek Pringle as 6'9...when he was more of a decent 6'5.

I guess it is possible he could be somewhere between 6'6 3/4" and 6'7". Since the chart says he is 6'6 1/2". Notice how his neck is leaning forward and not exactly straight meaning he is standing relaxed. I lose about 1/4 inch doing that. Then again, i have no idea if Rob is really standing at his tallest or what the footwear they are wearing that day. Hey Rob, who had the footwear advantage that day?

Editor Robfor a guy over 6ft 6 he stood very well in that photo op.
Andrea said on 21/Jun/19
Well, yeah, 184guy2, 6'6 is definitely undercutting him a bit!
All things considered, the difference looks very close to 10.5 inches here, so somewhere between 6'6.5 and 6'7 certainly isn't that hard to believe, especially since Rob himself is over 5'8 flat.

Closer to 6'6 is ridiculous ...
Rob is clearly an inch below his chin ; this guy looks that he could have 1 inch on someone like Anthony Joshua .6'6.75 might be on the money ....

The man's 55 years old. I'll give him the full 6'8" in his 20's/30's. He's probably still over 6'7" today and wakes up at close to 6'8", the same way that Rob wakes up at close to 5'9".

I think a fraction under 6'7 is definitely possible. Rob I'm assuming you don't think he's lost noticeable height? Since there's no current and peak...

Editor RobA 1/4 inch might be possible, but I doubt he's a guy who has lost much height.

He does look over 6'6 for sure, tree, but not quite the full 6'7, HERE.

Editor RobIn person I would have thought at most 9.5 inches for his head, which on a near 6ft 7 guy is on the smaller side.

@ cmillzz - I always respect your opinion but I dunno about what you have said on this occasion, I think in many people's 📚 6'7" is exceptionally tall, certainly in my 📖 it is! It certainly does depend on how you define it though and 6'4" could be deemed to be exceptionally tall, I would say that an exceptionally tall height is one that is at least 6'6"!

not quite sure if 6’7 would be considered that yet. I think 6’9 might be the start of exceptionally tall. Really depends on how you define it though.

Maybe add a height chart?
Unless the camera is somehow altering your head sizes, he doesn't have a big head (and eyelevel, in particular) for his height, so he can seem taller than he is, but taking that into account, I'm not sure he looks much more than 10 inches taller than you here...

Editor RobIt's a good camera position for representing true head sizes - sometimes with a lower camera it could knock a fraction of height from a taller person, but in this case the camera is nearly 5ft 8 high. I will try to do a quick video and link to a chart soon.

Despite the 6’8” claim, the vast majority of listings for him are actually 6’7”, so he seems to have been accurately listed

He could be 6'8" first thing out of bed. Since he looks to have a 8-head proportion. He could definitely create a illusion of looking taller than he actually is.
