Gillian Magaret ClarkDubai — Olympian Gillian Magaret Clark, MBE is one of the best we have in badminton commentary. Here at the Dubai Superseries, Gillian continues to bat through the innings again, as she does always, tournament after tournament. All of us at the media desks near the courts could hear bits and pieces of her descriptions of the matches in progress, in the familiar same long drawn style with which she presents a situation.

She has played the sport at its highest levels and provides insightful analysis into player psychology, tactics, strategy, trends and the developments in general.

The top commentator maintains the same style and approach as she has over the past many years, and is joined by former stars like Poul-Erik, Martin Dew-Hattens and others during a season to make it more interesting. Gillian played for England as a doubles specialist.
