9. Jacob Oram (New Zealand) – 6′ 6″
Jacob is another cricketer whose career has been hampered by his height. Usually batting in the middle to lower order, Oram’s bowling has been more successful in the shorter format reaching as high as five in ICC ODI Player Rankings. His ongoing injury problems prompted him to retire from Test cricket in 2009, though he intended to play on in Twenty20 and one-day internationals, as well as for Chennai in the IPL.
