I fully agree that Clare Balding is a very good commentator. However I have never heard her commentate on live sport being played by men. I just cannot stand the high pitched, empty screeching carried on by the usual female commentators. I abhor the obedience to political correctness that states that you must have a female at every twist and turn.
Your last sentence saddens me.
I've worked alongside many female colleagues, and all believe they have to fight twice as hard as their male counterparts in order to justify their roles.
Maybe you'd prefer the 1950's again..
