THIS ABOUT JOEL GARNER WESTINDIES CRICKETER


                                    One of the most fastest bowler in the cricket at that time westindies is the no 1 team no body can beat them.But there will be downfall to every team at that time only we must work as a team and play our best. December 16, 1952 in Christ Church, Barbados  also known as   Big Bird, is a former West Indian cricketer, and a member of the highly regarded late 1970s and early '80s West Indies cricket teams.He was a 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) fast bowler capable of ripping through the heart of opposing batting line-ups.However, it was in the limited overs cricket that Garner put his height to use with devastating effect. In 98 matches he took 146 wickets. He had the ability to unleash a devastating yorker, as well as the ability to generate more bounce. He is one of only two players with more than 100 ODI wickets to average under 20, while his economy rate of just over 3 runs per over, and average of less than 20 runs per wicket are also the best ever for any bowler who took more than 100 wickets. His 5 for 39 in the 1979 Cricket World Cup final against England remains the best ever performance by a bowler in a final; it included a spell of 5 wickets for 4 runs, and he was on a hat-trick twice.However, it was in the limited overs cricket that Garner put his height to use with devastating effect.
