Michael Holding

Whisper his name to cricket fans worldwide, and Michael Michael Holding is a gentleman who needs no introduction. A renowned Jamaican cricket commentator and former cricketer, Michael rose to fame through his legendary performances for the West Indies cricket team. Early in his Test career, Michael quickly showed himself to be a star of the sport when he broke the record for the best bowling figures in a Test match by a West Indies bowler with 14 wickets for 149 runs. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers to have ever played Test cricket, earning him the nickname "Whispering Death" due to his quiet approach to the bowling crease. Since retiring from the game, Michael has transitioned from whispering to talking, spending the last 22 years as a commentator for Sky Sports.
