Sub-continent cricketers look rather kamzor compared to some of these guys..I doubt they even work out. Are they lazy?

No, I do not think so.
Some may say Balaji Rao is built like a tank
Seriously, there are not mnay advantages of being very muscular. Look at sports like rugby- it has been proven that since players are more muscular there is more chance of injury as there isnt fat protecting them. Rugby players in previous era had less injuries tho they were fat.
You can look at Watson of how he lost some muscle and now he is injury free.
In addition, excessive muscles restrict flexibility and mobility.![]()
Agree, absolute monster.
Not quitestandard yet though.
yet not as fast as even skinny Amir
Who is Michael Waugh, lol????

England had a very tall team around 05, almost all were 6' plus, bar the keeper and Collingwood I think. Fletcher did have a 'thing' for tall players though.![]()
The guy is a beast - he was quite skinny when he first came onto the scene wasnt he?
Ive see him a few times in the flesh and he is absolutely ripped. For those saying hes not as beastly as Akhtar please dont make me laugh. He has a hell of a lot more muscle mass with a lot less fat. Akhtar couldnt look as good as him even when he was taking Roids.
England fast bowler's are monsters!
Everyone is 6 feet plus.
Tremlett's 6 feet 7 inches!
So are New Zealands fast bowlers but apparently we are hobbits.
Err no. Less fat maybe, not more muscle mass. In fact, Akhtar only has the luxury of putting on more mass than most bowlers due to his naturally flexible joints - if a bowler like Tremlett were to put on that much he'd lose pace rather than gain it.
You also need a bit of skill
Though Kyle Mills is very good and Southee is the future.
Whats Southee's height?
Around 6'5.
Have you ever seen Jacob Oram standing next to Mushfiqur Rahim? It is like an Adult walking around with his 7 year old son.
People take the match sledging too much to heart to be honest. New Zealanders and Australians would sledge each other like crazy and then at the end of the day both teams would be having a drink at the bar together.
Akhtar has/had way more muscle mass than this guy - he just wasn't ripped.
He's not too big anyways but in comparison with other tankers, yeah, he's Arnold.
Can anyone be as big as Mohammad Irfan?
Err no. Less fat maybe, not more muscle mass. In fact, Akhtar only has the luxury of putting on more mass than most bowlers due to his naturally flexible joints - if a bowler like Tremlett were to put on that much he'd lose pace rather than gain it.
Err yes. I have seen both in the flesh and Tremlett is alot more muscular. And Lmao at '"less fat maybe " comment. Really are you serious? Maybe? Akhtar is overweight and is easily carrying atleast 7%+ more body fat than Tremlett.
Ha ha. Im a big bodybuilding fan and have been to the Arnold classic a few times when I have been in the States! Makes me sad to see how pathetic Pakistan players are when it comes to fitness and strength training.Not getting involved in this one. Can't say that I spend my free time thinking about the muscle mass of male sportsmen...
being ripped does not mean strength ....... afridi is naturally strong and so r gayle and pollard but they r also quite rippedafridi isn't huge yet he can hit a cricket ball a long long way
and bowl them very very quick
Drop anderson for tremlett.
His name should be Chris Trundler
The guy has probably the best Physique for a fast bolwer, but still bowls slower than Munaf Patel![]()
Superb catch he took today in tense situation, i have always liked him for his attitude.
You mean altitude!
Tremlett did pretty well against him too. Looking forward to the next round.
tremlett is quite underrated. MUCH better than broad. trems jimmy and finn are a deadly combination.
