#9 Michael Holding

Michael Holding (R) provides insightful and serious analysis whenever he is on the microphone

The distinctively Jamaican accent and the sugary voice make Michael Holding one of the most respected and well-recognised commentators in the game. Holding, a true legend of the game, presents a valuable analysis of the game every time he gets on the microphone.

What makes his presence in the commentary box all the more valuable is his vast knowledge on the art of fast bowling. Having been a bona fide nightmare for batsman around the world in his playing days, few are as qualified as him to bring to the viewer’s attention to the nuances of the art and the subtleties of pacer’s tactics during the game.

He has been a key member of the Sky Sports commentary team during the English home season and also regularly commentates for other broadcasters during the English winter.

Holding’s unbiased insight and fearless frankness about the issues of the game make him a treat to hear while he is on air. To add to that, ‘Whispering Death’ doesn’t waste time in pointless chatter. Holding is a legend of the game and remains a powerful voice.
