personal preference for holding, a bit too critical but very easy to listen to...

13 - 9 to Nasser at the moment. Still time for Holding to come back, but it'll be tough for him.

Battle Six
Pommie Mbangwa vs David Gower
The Form Book: Mbangwa eased through in what was considered an tough draw against Harsha Bhogle and Navjot Sidhu. Gower faced the split of the Pom vote as he piled in against Jack Bannister and Jim Laker. Lucky for Gower, the voters appeared to have short memories as Bannister and Laker fell by the wayside to smooth Gower's path to round two.
Pommie Mbangwa
Playing Career: A total of 15 tests for Zimbabwe; with the lowest batting average out of any test cricketer batting for more than 10 innings; retired early at the age of 26 due to Zimbabwe's political problems
Commentating Pedigree: He moved quickly into the television commentary box, and has appeared to be a knowledgeable and articulate. He got his chance after impressing tv bosses during a post-test match interview.
Other: * Impressed during the 2007 Cricket World Cup
David Gower
Playing Career: An elegant left-handed batsman who enjoyed a successful test career for England in the 1980s.
Commentating Pedigree: Made the jump into commentary soon after his playing retirement, becoming an anchorman for Sky Sports' cricket commentary.
Other: * Took a short trip in a Tiger Moth airplane during a warm up game on a tour to Australia
* A team captain on BBC quiz show "They Think Its All Over" until he realised it was getting crap and jumped ship.
* Advocate for African Wildlife
