Michael Holding had the best bowling action in world 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 was called the "Silent Assassin" of world test cricket

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

Courtney Walsh was Michael Holding's protege

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
