  Joel Garner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joel Garner (born December 16, 1952) also known as "Big Joel" or "Big Bird", was a West Indian cricket player, and a member of the highly regarded late '70s and early '80s West Indies cricket sides.
He was a popular 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.
