At 6ft 8in, Big Bird released the ball from such a height that his yorkers dropped on batters' toes and his short balls climbed into the ribs. He was deadly in one-day cricket, taking 5 for 38 in the 1979 World Cup final. Garner was the most economical of the great West Indies quicks, which shows his method was control as much as menace.
