Sri Lanka remain the value: If punters are beginning to feel like they have seen it all before, then they have. The World Twenty20 is shaping up in almost exactly the same fashion as the last global limited-overs tournament, the World Cup. Australia, despite that blemish against Zimbabwe, are the team to beat and look set to...
Shall we dance?: This year's line-up for Strictly Come Dancing whirls its way onto our screens on October 6th and reads more like a 'who are they?' than a 'who's who' of celebrity. But it is already a success with every red-blooded UK male between the ages of 16-75. The reason? Kelly Brook. Two words...
New Approach made top juvenile: Following his success in the National Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday, New Approach heads Timeform's latest juvenile rankings. His 1¾ length success was enough to earn him a Timeform rating of 125p, which puts him narrowly ahead of sprinting star Kingsgate Native and impressive Solario Stakes...

Wales to suffer at home: Australia have failed to beat Wales on their last two trips to Cardiff, so it is initially surprising to see Sportingbet go a best-priced 9/2 about the home side in what is effectively a winner-takes-all clash against the Wallabies for the honour of topping Pool B. Australia drew 29-29 the last...
Jol set to earn his Spurs: Judging by their relative league positions and the difference in publicity Spurs and Arsenal have received at the beginning of this season, you would think there is only one winner when these two sides clash at White Hart Lane. But are we really about to witness the demise of Martin Jol? Nothing...
Pakistan to see off fierce rivals: It is a real conundrum as to why the bookmakers have decided to make India favourites for their World Cup Twenty20 match against Pakistan in Durban today. Aside from the fact that when these two neighbours clash, form and ability go out of the window because of the history between the two teams,...
Australia set for early exit?: The cricketing world has been turned on its head in the last two days following one astonishing result and another which would raise a few eyebrows.
