Ngidi is a tank

Shannon Gabriel is a tank. Heath Streak in his playing days was a tank (now he's just fat). Andrew Symonds was a tank. Matthew Hayden and Kevin Pietersen were tanks too. Ngidi is just a tall dude who's not skinny.

One of the support guys with the national side is built like a tank, I have no idea what his name is but I’m sure you’ve all seen him.


Edit: this guy

[jaybro]

You can never be wrong can you Kriterion lol

The guy is 1.93cm tall and 95Kgs !!!!

He’s a big boy no matter which way you look at it, wether or not you want to call him a ‘tank’ or not you can’t dispute he is a big boy and built like a great athlete.

Wow you have high standards Kriterion.

That guy looks like a tank to me.

I actually agree with Kriterion. Ngidi is not exactly the definition of tank. That Zim backroom guy on the other hand = tank

[ZIMDOGGY]

I agree with Kriterion.
I’m about 1.93 and when I slim down to 95 kilos (I yo yo) I’m pretty lithe.

Tall guy who isn’t skinny is an apt description

Looks like a basketball player. Rugby or American football players are tanks.

Basically a tank has to have a BMI that would make him obese, yet he’s muscular so he’s not fat. Mr T is tank.

[ZIMDOGGY]

These guys are tanks.



Ngidi is more a high school basketball star.

You're missing the point I was trying to make that Zimbabwe haven't produced guys with the physical physique of Nigidi, Rabada and Dala. That was the point/question raised, now for some reason we're debating what or who qualifies as a 'tank' and comparing them to two of the biggest players in the NRL.

Streak and Jarvis are fine for fast bowlers in terms of physique. Mumba is up there as well. Rabada has a very similar physique to Mpofu. For a fast bowler, height is more important than physique, and you don't have to be a tank to intimidate. Brett Lee was no tank, but he was decently tall 6'2" or so and plenty intimidating. Even Mitchell Johnson wasn't a tank, he was just very well chiseled.
