Wayne John Holdsworth (born 5 October 1968 in Paddington, New South Wales) was an Australian first-class cricketer who played for the New South Wales Blues. He was a right arm pace bowler and took 188 wickets for NSW at 32.13.[1] His best season came in 1992/93 when he took 53 first-class wickets. The tally included career-best figures of 7/41, which he took in the Sheffield Shield final against Queensland, which NSW won. He was rewarded with a spot in the 1993 Ashes touring squad and although he didn't play a Test he did take a hat-trick against Derbyshire in a warm up match and played a one day match against Ireland, and took 3 for 13 off 6 overs.[2] He also represented Australia B on a tour of Zimbabwe in 1991/92 under Mark Taylor and for Australia at the ICC Under 19's World Cup in 1988 which Australia won.[3] In the season 1989/90 he was chosen for the Prime Minister's XI game against Pakistan and has been selected in an Northern Territory Invitation XI, Bradman XI and Australian Masters XI teams.
The stockily-built "quick" struggled to recapture his form and a consistent place in the NSW team following his tour of England and played his final first class match in 1996. Nicknamed "Cracker", in his début First Class game, he took a wicket with his first ever ball for New South Wales in 1989 [4] and also another wicket and a dropped catch in his first over.
He is second all time wicket record holder at Bankstown in Sydney Grade with 511 wickets at 21.23 behind KW Hall.[5] He also was leading season wicket taker for Bankstown in the 1986/87, 1995/96, 1997/98, 1999/00 and 2000/01.
