SH: England fielded the tallest attack in Test history at Lord's but it didn't necessarily do them any good. The problem with tall bowlers is that so few of their deliveries are htting the wicket. In Sri Lanka's first innings at Lord's this can be seen from the fast bowlers' beehive. Only perhaps a dozen balls would have hit the stumps, meaning the batsmen could leave many of them alone. It took England a long time to bowl Sri Lanka out as a result.
