#6. Michael Holding

A crucial piece of the puzzle in one of the fearsome bowling attacks in the world, Michael Holding was one of the best fast bowlers produced by West Indies. Holding, along with Joel Garner, Colin Croft, and Malcolm Marshall, formed a deadly pace quartet.
He used his height to great effect to generate a good amount of bounce off the pitch. He holds the record for the best bowling figures attained by a West Indian bowler in a Test match with 14 wickets for 149 runs. He took 249 wickets in 60 Tests at a stunning average of 23.68.
Holding possessed the nickname of “Whispering Death” owing to a quiet approach to the bowling crease.
