With that action, I'd have to say Holdsworth's body won't hold up long enough for a decent Test career. McGrath looks a lot smoother, like he could be bowling forever.
McGrath was a pure gem coming out of high quality domestic Australian cricket. The era in which he played, after the 92 world cup and until the 07 World Cup, was the best era of cricket.
Young gilly in the NSW team shot lol. Likely backup to Phil Emery then. Never heard of Holsworth. McGrath was the right call by selectors.the best fast bowler ever.
Holdsworth's inclusion on the 93 Ashes tour was predicated on his 53 wickets at 25.96 during the 92/93 Shield season. That included the final against QLD where he took 7/41, bowling unchanged alongside McGrath, to have QLD all out for 75 in their second innings. He definitely looked like someone who was moving onto bigger and better things, but he never regained his form after the tour of England and played his last game for New South Wales aged only 28 in 1996, where he had match figures of 0/112.
Born on 9th February 1970 He was 23 back then n I was born on 11 February. He is definitely the greatest bowler to ever play the game even remembered and cherished long after his retirement
It's not he didn't choke... His team didn't choke... If McGrath ever played for other teams you would never say this Still he is one of the best bowlers but Wasim Akram was considered the best bowler even by McGrath
In the end, the attitude mattered. Glenn said, "If we both just do our jobs......" . Said like a true sport. And he held the attitude till his last match. Stuff greatness is made of.👍
Great to see these old clips. I think McGrath used to be called Millard on account of the caravan. Pigeon came same time or later on account of his skinny legs. Greg Matthews and Adam Gilchrist were also in that team photo.
Wayne Holdsworth looks like a fabulous bowler. Most probably he will win the duel vs Glen McGrath and seal the spot in Australian team. Good Luck Wayne!
One of best thing about australian bowlers is they had natural comfortable bowling action like McGrath brett lee bichel Gillespie. While most of fast bowlers from other countries didn't have natural bowling action.
Wow..looks promising young talent.. He will be the first fast bowler to take 550 test wickets if he continues to perform like this. Might win 3 world cups. Mike Atherton will be his favourite bunny to dismiss 19 times.! Meanwhile 3 other young promising players for AUS 1st The GOAT wicket keeper and furious batsman.! 2nd The stylish, class and elegant wristy player!! 3rd The GOAT in chasing the target in ODI and career average 58 !! Good luck young men🎉
Just checked that Wayne Holdsworth didn't play a single match for Australia and glenn turned out to be one of the greats. To think they both were in contention once upon a time is mind boggling.
@@hyena131 Form. Holdsworth's career peaked just before this interview. The Ashes 1993 tour was the peak of his selections. His first class career flamed out within three years. McGrath went another 14, becoming a great of the game.
Looks a handsome young lad. Could win 3 world cups if he plays for Australia 👍🏻
He wins 3 wc 1999 to 2007

You're dreaming. One test wonder.

I'm from future and your face from the year 2007 can never be more hilarious.
I predict a great career for Wayne Holdsworth. He’ll be one of the brightest stars for Australia in the future. Not sure about this McGrath guy though
Ahahaha 🤣😜✌️
I time travelled all the way from the year 2007 just to read your comment.
@@peace2u947 Richie liked him more
This Mcgrath guy has thin legs like a pigeon lol. I say we nickname him pigeon... who's with me?

What a young lad… if he continues to perform like this, one day he could become head coach at MRF pace foundation.
You're talking crazy!

The era in which he played, after the 92 world cup and until the 07 World Cup, was the best era of cricket.
From "come down.. see what happens" to becoming the greatest fast bowler of his generation.
Glen Mcgrath one of the finest the world has ever seen. Played a crucial role keeping oz on top for so many years.
It's only in sports you are a rookie and after 12 yrs you are legend !!
You would be a villain if you carry on for decade more 😅

Mark waugh there too
Love these throwbacks

Glenn Mc Grath,,,, the Gem of Australia
ooohhh aaah Glenn McGrath !!! absolute legend
I usually don’t predict but looking at this kid, I think he would take 500 plus international wickets . Lets see
He has above 900
100% agree, he looks like a real gem that Holsworth.

@@dsintheb Confidence can be such an elusive thing
Great post. Good journalism. Particularly enjoy the Doug Walters reference. Holdsworth was a state star. Illustrates how tough it is to be in that 11.
Born on 9th February 1970 He was 23 back then n I was born on 11 February. He is definitely the greatest bowler to ever play the game even remembered and cherished long after his retirement
Not the greatest but definitely in the top 5 greatest bowlers to ever play the game.
@@MaZaKeRaL i would rate him greatest because he almost never chocked on big occassions
It's not he didn't choke... His team didn't choke... If McGrath ever played for other teams you would never say this
Still he is one of the best bowlers but Wasim Akram was considered the best bowler even by McGrath
The Legend
Love ❤️ for Aussie Cricket
Rest is history.....went on to become The Legend ❤
I bet if he tries and continues performing he could well be in the Australian team.
Yes indeed....provided there is provision of a time machine
If he is consistent, he might even play 50 test matches for Australia!
What a Legend
Agreed, what a player that Holsworth was.
In the end, the attitude mattered. Glenn said, "If we both just do our jobs......" . Said like a true sport. And he held the attitude till his last match. Stuff greatness is made of.👍
I’m more intrigued by the Queensland Lad Matty Hayden. He could break the test best score world record one day.
That guy standing next to McGrath in the team pic is huge ,towers above GM who's 6'5 himself.
He is legendary cricketer
One of the bowling legend, Love from India.
And that day legend was born
Damn Glenn hasn't aged one bit!
Any young fast bowler should watch him ..how to bowl consistency discipline line n length ..unmatchable freak💥💥💥
Greatest bowler of all time ❤❤❤
Great to see these old clips. I think McGrath used to be called Millard on account of the caravan. Pigeon came same time or later on account of his skinny legs. Greg Matthews and Adam Gilchrist were also in that team photo.
No body could have predicted he would become the greatest fast bowler ever.
Looks likes a humble kid. I'm sure he could spend all life just outside of off stumps.
His year-wise test bowling average was below 23.5 for a total of 11 times out of 15 years in his career.
History was written thereafter forever!
Line length, accuracy and consistency king...
McGrath is just four months older than me! I remember him playing against England in Ashes series.
Legendary
Love how Ritchie says " I think he has talent ", not to bad for a Pigeon
This kind of trivia is gold!
My favourite fast bowler
👌🔥💪
Back in the Mercantile Mutual days. Full coverage on Channel 9 with their top commentators
Love these videos
All Time Great The Timer again and again
The best legendary bowler in the world,no body can reach him.
I am a big fan of the aussie 2003 wc team. I think they are unbeatable, and this guy is head of the pace department of that team!!
McGrath the legend bad luck for the other guy
Excellent throwback
He was legends...
Richard Chee Quee spotting at 3:13
All time my favourite.
I wish him all the best.
No.1 bowler my all time Glenn McGrath ❤❤❤❤❤
Wayne Holdsworth looks like a fabulous bowler. Most probably he will win the duel vs Glen McGrath and seal the spot in Australian team. Good Luck Wayne!
I see a big future for this yound lad, lots of potential...I hope the Aussie selection committee don't muck up.

How quickly he was improving back then i mean this can happen only when you're gifted with such talent.....
Glenn McGrath was reall match winner for australia
World 🌎, number one bowler in our cricket world,for ever,he is the best legendary bowler,ever and ever 😅.
Who knew he would dominate Tendulkar, Lara, Atherton, and Inzimam; the best batters of his generation.
Holdsworth all the way. Who's this McGrath lad? I don't reckon he'll last two seasons. Go with first class experience always.
Best bowler ever on this earth in history of game
It was a great fine for Australia and world cricket.
Good you uploaded just at the right time ....😂😂
The lad looks like a promising prospect. Hope he makes it big someday.
Legend.
Worlds most important,who introduced good and smooth bowlers in the world 🌎🌍.
Wow..looks promising young talent..
He will be the first fast bowler to take 550 test wickets if he continues to perform like this.
Might win 3 world cups.
Mike Atherton will be his favourite bunny to dismiss 19 times.!
Meanwhile 3 other young promising players for AUS
1st The GOAT wicket keeper and furious batsman.!
2nd The stylish, class and elegant wristy player!!
3rd The GOAT in chasing the target in ODI and career average 58 !!
Good luck young men🎉
Yeah.... Not funny
Not funny
Amazing to Watch..
His action was different then from what it turned out to be later.
Nice line length,,,trust me in next few years he will conquer even Lara sachin...mark my word
Greatest fast bowler ever no doubts maybe there are more talented fast bowlers but noone achieved what McGrath achieved
Legend bowler glen
Glenn u r very consistent the only bowler accuracy everytime
Benaud was right, they should have let McGrath focus on Shield cricket for another few years.... ;)
Between the two of them, McGrath looks more promising.
I hope he can live up to all the hype.
Kid has a bright future ahead of him
Gratest of the grate..
He is top one bowler ....
All I can say I didn't see Wasim Akram (except TH-cam clips) but I have seen Glenn Mcgrath!
World cricket would never see a McGrath again.
Sorry Richie, you got that one wrong.
Yeah your 100% right about that. Poor Wayne Holdsworth was a flop.
Rest is history
Upload Ponting innings vs England
Big Phil Alley in the clip to. He was taller than McGrath and seen as a future star fast bowler.
Take that step young man 😅
Gold!
He “sorta” broke all records
Glen action is so simple
looks like we've got another Hazlewood coming in....
😂
Poor Wayne Holdsworth --
How quick was Holdsworth ?
Glenn McGrath the Australia bowling legend did scared the hell out of the God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar.
well he is god of cricket just for Indians .. one of the best player yes , but god of cricket ?? … the game that was discovered by English people …
Just checked that Wayne Holdsworth didn't play a single match for Australia and glenn turned out to be one of the greats. To think they both were in contention once upon a time is mind boggling.

Yes, and Holdsworth didn't play many first class games either. Injury maybe?

i hope one day his dreams will come true and score so many goals. he could even knockout jon jones
Good length consicious and always bowled the imp.spots in pitch
Looks a promising lad, if he keeps performing...he can well be on the Kapil Sharma show
😂
Great bolwer
Impressive
Reporter: the great Farren Hotham. ⭐️
Well he changed his action i guess ..One of the greatest
If he continues to keep his line length right and accuracy, he could achieve 500 test wickets......great potential
