Stats says Micheal holding during the 80s, Amazing record. Sometimes he will say somethings while commentating that i'm sure alot of people don't understand - especially when it comes to good batting pitches. Holding is in another world often when he speaks, one unheard of to most people but it does exist.
Interesting that half the Tests played by Holding in Aus were in the last 70s and he did little of note (and Im being generous). Its a little 'cherry picking' and manipulating to only include his good Tests in the country.

Anyway, even if we just keep it to games in the 80s and in Aus then Holding, IMO, still dorsnt win. That honor goes to Hadlee.

State 12th Man
Wizards IN 0Z?
Hadlee 1st and then CEL imo.
Single handedly destroying Aus Batting lineups....consistently.

Btw CEL = Wizard of 'The WACA'.

Any quality seam bowler who has height on their side = wizard of The WACA.

Either way I don't really see the relevance of any "wizard of one country" thing, given that the difference between Australia in the 1920s, 1950s and 1980s was bigger than the difference between Australia and England in 2003.
