Michael Holding has a Bit of Advice for ‘Good Kid’ Kagiso Rabada

Former Windies legend Michael Holding has a bit of advice for ‘good kid’ Kagiso Rabada.

Meanwhile, Holding has become the voice of South African summer, and he had expressed his love for South Africa time and over again.

During his time in the Rainbow Nation, Holding had built up an affinity with Rabada. Holding admitted the South African pacer is a good kid and said he is learning all the time.

He’s a good kid. ‘KG’ is a really good kid, and he is learning all the time. He tried to call me Mr Holding but I told him that Mr Holding was my father, and he has passed on. Call me Mikey,” Holding said. “He has got natural pace, and then he is also a very smart kid. He asks a lot of questions about the game, and he can take as many wickets as he wants in the game. As long as he stays fit, he can be a force for South Africa for a very long time,” he added.

Holding, further, explained Rabada talks about things beyond the game and his love for music is well-known.

We have got to know each other quite well, away from the game. But when I saw him the next morning after that incident with Smith, I walked straight past him. He turned around, and said ‘what’s wrong, Mikey?’ I told him that he knew what was wrong and that I wasn’t happy with the way he had behaved. We had a chat about it, and a lot of other people have been talking to him about those things,” Holding said of Rabada’s exuberance.

Holding also talked extensively about his chat with Rabada during the India series. He revealed Rabada is young and needs to get better over the years.

I think he now knows that he needs to be better. Yes he is young, but it is not fun missing games because of silly behaviour,” he added.

Along with Rabada, Holding also revealed he has a soft spot for Dale Steyn. Meanwhile, Steyn is still nursing the injury he sustained during the India series.

I love watching Steyn bowl. He’s got the full set. He is fast, he’s got great shape with the out-swinger, and he can also reverse it with the best of them. It’s a pity that he has been missing for so long because he always makes things happen,” Holding concluded.
