On August 17, 1976, Michael Holding of West Indies picked up 14 wickets against England.

It is one of those spectacular moments from the history of cricket.

The 22-year-old Holding bowled at an electric pace to wreck the English batting.

Holding later said, "I was 22 years old and just ran in and bowled. I didn't even think about the conditions - you don't at that age. I tried to bowl as accurately as possible because there was no way I could bowl a bouncer. I was getting good inswing and I kept the ball full. It was my best Test as far as figures are concerned, but I bowled better than that in different circumstances. At The Oval it was simple: bowl fast and bowl full."
