Who is shorter - Malcolm Marshall or Fidel Edwards?

Does anyone know who is physically the shortest West Indies fast bowler out of Malcolm Marshall and Fidel Edwards?

Marshall is 5'11" according to Wiki but there is no mention of Edwards' height?

I reckon he may be a tad shorter.

I would think it has to be Edwards.

I found three different answer for edwards.

5 foot 8"
5 foot 10"
6 foot.

Marshall is stated as 5 foot 11"

Would Edwards have got into the great West Indies 4 man pace attack that was fielded in 1984 V South Africa, then consisting of Slyvester Clarke and Ezra Moseley with the new ball, Franklyn Stephenson as the third change bowler and Colin Croft as the fourth pace bowler? Also how would that 4 man 1984 pace attack have performed in the last Lords test match had they been the pace attack that the West Indies had available as opposed to the current one of Roach, Edwards, Gabriel and Sammy.

I doubt it gboycottnut.

Edwards was very good the last time they toured but has lost it by the looks of it.

You mention 1984. Eldine Baptiste was the fourth seamer for the 'official' tour to England that summer and I imo the Edwards of a few years ago is better than he was.

Wasn't Winston Davis supposed to be the 4th pace bowler on the official tour? As for Edwards, I believe that due to him being older now, he has lost a bit of pace so he isn't as penetrative or as threatening to batsmen as he once was and due to a lack of height, he can't offer much in the area of awkward bounce.
