Hi DozyWannabe,
Had he let go of the stick, the "soft" AoA protections available in Alternate 2 would have corrected the pitch back to a safe level.
I don't have a copy of FCOM for A330 so my source is very dubious:

Please see note 17) "Protection totally lost if DUAL ADR failure or ADR disagree."
