What is the BBC obsession with Ms Balding?

She is the best reporter,with her background, the on horse
racing but why do the Beeb think she can cover any sport?

Even though the stupid evening 'highlights' has been panned
she still is doing what John Inverdale did so successfully?
prev Rob Steele.

I haven't seen the Tennis highlights programme. Clare did a great job with the horse racing and the Olympics. But I think she has been given too much airtime lately. From what I've heard the programme is a bit forced with a false audience. John Inverdale was nice, I'm sorry he was taken off.

She's a safe pair of hands, she has a contract, the BBC get their money's worth by using her as much as they can.

she's an amateur at tennis when compared to Mr Inverdale, even allowing for his gaffes.

He may be OK now but he was awful when he started, it takes time to be an expert - I'd far rather watch Clare.

I would say, 'stick to your knitting, Clare,' and tennis ain't it.....

at what psybbs? she's ok on the superficial linking but her lack of in-depth understanding, or what the London cabbies call 'the knowledge,' really shows through.

It's the 'knitting' I object to, DTC

Claire Balding is probably doing the tennis cos Gary Linekar is too busy selling crisps to fit it in.

That remark about knitting came over as being really patronising DTC.
Did you intend to be?
