The smoothest run up and best action ever. I remember watching the fearsome spell against John Edrich and Brian Close, absolutely frightening, and in the days before helmets too!
The perfect run up smooth and graceful with a high delivery action.He generated incredible pace and had a great variety of angles he would bowl at.Basically he was the perfect bowling machine.
Whispering death…athletic bowler with smooth run up great action accuracy and bowling with fire. Jeffery Boycott’s words…although he was the fastest but gave a feeling that there’s more to come if he intended…that scary.
Such a graceful and classy bowler, He made it look effortless, which it was not. I believe that at times he may have been as fast as Thommo. I remember the oval in 1976..... a docile wicket he was so fast he beat them all in the air. A great association with the peerless Andy Roberts then later on with Joel Garner and the great and much missed Malcolm Marshall.
with a fluid bowling action yet his non bowling arm doesnt go over his head with followthrough unlike any conventional action.. he rather locks it under shoulder level…don’t understand how he generated so much pace with such unfinished action…
How times change. The Windies were beaten by an innings and over a hundred runs in less than 2 1/2 days by England yesterday. Never thought I would ever witness that back in the days of Holding and that formidable pace attack and a batting line up of Richards, Greenidge, Haynes et al.
…cricket is dead..as past lovers of cricket once new it.Between t 20 and steroid bats the game is gone.I’m glad Ritchie Benaud never lived to see it die.
These were the days before the Internet, so England's batsmen had no idea what was in store for them until he rocked up to Lords in May of 1976. In his first over, he felled Dennis Amiss, playing for the MCC, which was witnessed by Tony Greig before the Test series began. With Roberts still bowling with extreme speed,and Wayne Daniel as well, that's when England knew that they were in for a rough time. The rest, they say, is history.
Whispering Death - the 100mph man who battered India into surrendering a Test match and,with it,the Test series as well. It was the fastest,most hostile spell of devastating quick bowling ever seen.
@@CricketStories007 When bowling,flat out at full tilt,he was faster than Jeff Thomson. How do I know? Thomson wasn't so fast that the opposition Test captain and 3 of the remaining players refused to bat when there was nothing wrong with them. If that doesn't convince you of his speed,then,remember that Tony Greig called him the cheetah of the fast bowlers.
I would have him in my best world XI but after Griffith hall Lillie thommo and Fred trueman for 6 speed bowlers just add warne...then Gilchrist greenidge Haynes Ponting 12th man sobers
I saw a interview with Geoff Boycott where he said that Michael Holding was the fastest he ever faced, and then some. Also, he said it was even scarier, but he felt like he was bowling within himself, and if he really let it go, who knows how fast he could be.
@@CricketStories007No you can’t. They didn’t have speed cameras at that time. I watched that series live and on TV. No question Thomson was the quickest. Holding didn’t peak until later.
I also watched that series live and on TV. In the 75-76 series Thomson was faster than Holding. Not by much, but you could see it when you were on the sideline square of the wicket. Thomson once bowled a ball in a test match and was later told he'd bowled it at 100mph (as it was then). Thomson's reply was that the measured ball wasn't the fastest ball he'd bowled in that spell. Commentators/voice overs on videos shouldn't make such statements about comparisons between different players that aren't even anecdotal, just presumptuous.
According to all reports,Thomson reached his peak in 74 - 75,but just a year later,Tony Greig would go on to record,in writing, that Holding was the fastest bowler he ever faced. Holding was still 4 years away from reaching his peak,and Greig was not the only Test status batsman to put those words in print. On England's dead pitches in 1976,Holding definitely bowled faster than Thomson did,on the same pitches,against mostly the same English batsmen in 1975. The likes of Brian Johnson and many other former Test batsmen and TMS commentators testified to that fact. The number of Test wickets Holding took in 1976,(28) at the ridiculous average of just 12.71 also testifies,all by itself,to that fact.
Hey Cricket Lovers🏏, if you liked the video ,please SUBSCRIBE to my channel and also let me know your favorite memory from Michael Holding's career🔥.
He had the best smooth action of any fast bowler I've ever seen. I would recommend to any young fast bowler to emulate his action.
One of the best🔥

You kind of spoil the story by writing “how SCARY GOOD was he”, don’t you. 😅 Yeah, we all can guess from the title. 😊
He didn’t bowl faster than Thomson at Thomson’s peak. That’s not true.
Not all the time, but in that particular series. You can check it
@@CricketStories007No you can’t. They didn’t have speed cameras at that time. I watched that series live and on TV. No question Thomson was the quickest. Holding didn’t peak until later.
I also watched that series live and on TV. In the 75-76 series Thomson was faster than Holding. Not by much, but you could see it when you were on the sideline square of the wicket. Thomson once bowled a ball in a test match and was later told he'd bowled it at 100mph (as it was then). Thomson's reply was that the measured ball wasn't the fastest ball he'd bowled in that spell. Commentators/voice overs on videos shouldn't make such statements about comparisons between different players that aren't even anecdotal, just presumptuous.
According to all reports,Thomson reached his peak in 74 - 75,but just a year later,Tony Greig would go on to record,in writing, that Holding was the fastest bowler he ever faced. Holding was still 4 years away from reaching his peak,and Greig was not the only Test status batsman to put those words in print.
On England's dead pitches in 1976,Holding definitely bowled faster than Thomson did,on the same pitches,against mostly the same English batsmen in 1975.
The likes of Brian Johnson and many other former Test batsmen and TMS commentators testified to that fact. The number of Test wickets Holding took in 1976,(28) at the ridiculous average of just 12.71 also testifies,all by itself,to that fact.
