Dean du Plessis was fortunate enough to catch up with one of the true living legends of the game, Mikey Holding, who was part of not only the best bowling attack in World cricket from the 70s to the mid 80s, but the best team as well. He talks about his youth and the Sunday curried goat matches, the dominance of the West Indies, and a letter written by the late former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela to the West Indies team who refused to tour South Africa in 1998 due to grievances with the West Indies cricket board.
