Garner!!!? his height?
Joel Garner (born 16 December 1952 in Christ Church, Barbados) also known as "Big Joel" or "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. In conjunction with fellow fast bowlers Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Colin Croft and later Malcolm Marshall, the West Indies reached unprecedented heights in the Test and one-day cricket arenas, not losing a Test series in 15 years. He is the tallest bowlers ever to play Test cricket.

In Test cricket he played 58 Tests between 1977 and 1987 and took 259 wickets at an average of barely above 20, making him statistically one of the most effective bowlers of all time

First one was
MJC Allom (on debut: W-WWW) | England v New Zealand|1929-30. This was the last over of second inning.

Some more I can remember are Shaun pollock, Chaminda vaas, Lasith malingha, abdur razzak, Wasim Akram. I am sure there are many more which I do not know.
