Tips for Tikay

Daily Summary, 11am Saturday 12th May.

Our only winner yesterday was a an odds-on shot offered up by...... girgy. That's how bad we are running.

Our Aussie Rules stuff all went south - spectacularly, too - though we still have North Melbourne Bulldogs v Western Bulldogs, early doors on Sunday morning. Confidence levels are less than sky-high.

We added a French Open Girlie Tennis wager yesterday, Miss Serena Williams @ 5/1. This does not settle until, I think, early June. Serena can still be backed @ 5/1 in 2 spots, is generally 4/1, even 3/1 in places.

A Thread Veto was enforced yesterday for the first time ever, after two of our heavyweights - betting heavyweights - clashed.

Fraser was with Stevenage, DNB, whilst in the same match, Camel was with Sheffield United, also DNB. We were on the sidelines.

The result, inevitably? Draw.

Win-Win Draw-Draw.

I know you might be a little gun shy, particularly at the prespect of tying money up a fortnight or so but I re-iterate the West Indies bet

Currently playing at Northampton

Eng Lions: 341 (90.0 overs)
West Indies: 147 & 37-3 (18.0 overs)

England should win 2-0 at 11/10.

The weather aspect is so unpredictable, it worries me Rich, but I guess that is in the price.

We'll go with it, after I've cleared up some odds & ends here, & on the Diary.

Took me an hour to get to the office this morning, as I pass right by Twickenham Stadium, where a zillion folk all seemed to be headed, wearing fancy dress gear. What's that all about?

IRB Sevens.

Does anyone know how our Mumbai Indians wager is coming along?

In the unlikely event that any of you are so common & uneducated as to enjoy watching bish bash bosh "cricket", Mumbai Indians are on ITV4, "live", right now, as is another, parallel, IPL match. I'll not bother, I have some paint to watch dry.

Yes yes, most illuminating, thank you.

You may - or may not - be interested to know that Harlequins also play this afternoon, 2.45 KO I believe.

Harlequins home ground is called "The Stoop", ("Twickenham Stoop" more correctly) & is precisely 300 yards from Twickenham Stadium proper. The traffic round there today will be - already is in fact - horrific.

There is also an exhibition of aged London Buses & TrolleyBuses at Fulwell Bus Garage today, 2 miles north of Twickers, which will attract monster crowds, obv.

They are on course to qualify for the play-offs at present. Big game for them today though.

Of interest yesterday in the IPL. Mr Gangouly the captain of the Pune Warriors, who has been lambasted in this thread for his attitude, was finally dropped from the side.

4 Qualify for the Semis

Bangalore's win yesterday (an excellent side) pushed Mumbai into 4th

Mumbai need to win their six pointer today, which has just got underway

Thanks hector.

Whilst on catch up, I gather that the Miami Heat & New York Knicks begin their play off on Monday, 3.30am UK time or whatever.

I believe we have laid Miami for a decent sum.

Where's Kimber when we need him?

Not today, but I keep my eye in on it.

Mumbai have really struggled this year in IPL- their batting has been disatrous and they definitely are 4pts already above ev.

Rich ive not seen weather but how comes u fancy 2-0 not 3? Can only assume weather as surely if no rain all tests are wrapped up by the end of day 4

If, by parallel, you mean concurrent, I don't think the IPL stages concurrent matches.
There are two matches today but they will be staged consecutively.
