Michael Holding,why Michael Holding was the silent assassin of cricket

Michael Holding did Jamaica and the West Indies cricket team proud by his incredible bowling performances in test cricket.

Here is a tribute to Michael Holding, who was easily the bowler with the best bowling action in world test cricket ever.


Michael Holding had a silky bowling action that suggested that Michael Holding was just a medium pacer of the Mohinder Amarnath variety. But Michael Holding was able to generate such incredible pace without apparently expending any effort

Michael Holding's incredible bowling action also enabled to play test cricket for such a long time without any of those injuries that current fast bowlers always seem striken with


Michael Holding's smooth bowling action has no comparison, the only other cricket bowler whose action came reasonably close was that of "nice guy" Courtney Walsh,who probably used his Jamaican association to learn a few bowling tricks of the trade from Michael Holding


Michael Holding makes Geoff Boycott hop, fish and finally lets him out of his agony by getting his wicket in this incredible bowling performance against the most dodgy of cricket batsmen
