Michael Holding: 'Steven Finn is fitter, stronger than ever'

Michael Holding praises the remodelled Steven Finn after he took 5-45 against Australia.

Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding has heaped praise on England's Steven Finn after his display on day two of the third Ashes Test against Australia.

Finn took 5-45 as England reduced the tourists to 168-7 in their second innings, and Holding is impressed with how he has remodelled his game in the last two years.

He told Sky Sports News: "I have always thought that he should be playing for England a long, long time ago. He was dropped when he was the leading wicket taker in a series – the 2010-11 Ashes - but I don't think he has taken disappointment too hard.

"He has gone away and done whatever has been required – he has come back fitter, stronger, and solved that technical problem he had of clipping the stumps. It is not easy to remodel your action and get back into rhythm but he has done it and it is really good to see."

Finn had not played Test cricket since July 2013.
