Curious one innit? Debated endlessly by blokes. Voted for by women.

They have an uncanny knack of picking out the 'most deserving'

weakest pentathlon at world level ever

61st all time, and at least half of those in front of her are courtesy of Joyney Kersey and Kluft.

But it's not the heptathlon we're betting on here...

Ennis will need Murray not to win the US Open and a good edit on the night to win this, but both of these are very possible.

Back to the cricketers I also think FF may well not make the Final 10 for reasons outlined earlier in the thread.

Also bear in mind that one of the Women's cricket team may get nominated (Charlotte Edwards the captain most likely) as they won the World Cup and retained their Ashes and I'm not sure in this PC world they will be able to nominate 2/3 blokes and ignore the ladies.

Strauss and Edwards, Strauss, Edwards and Broad, Strauss and Broad all more likely combinations of nominees than ones involving FF.

Anyone like to hazard a guess at the shortlist?

Button (failure to win title could threaten place)
Murray
Ennis
Daley
Cavendish
Strauss
Broad
Idowu

two from
Wiggins/Khan/Haye

for me

Cavendish
Button
Murray
Ennis
Daley
Strauss
Broad
Idowu
Wiggins
+ 1 other (Flintoff? - but would they have 3 cricketers in the top 10?)

Cavendish just won the first 2 stages of the Tour of Missouri to add to his 6 Tour de France stage wins and his Milan - San Remo win (first British (including Isle of Man!) rider to win that for 40 odd years).

i'd like to see beckham in there for breaking the cap record

but failing that what about rooney, loads of goals and builds up world cup 2010

i'm not suggesting they would win, but no footballer in the 10 would be rough
By:
GeorgeBrush
When: 09 Sep 09 21:44
With the world cup next year Donny, the chances of a footballer being listed are no greater than Jocky Wilson. Although someone clearly thought Ryan Giggs would be.

This market will be fascinating to play this year. Maybe the beeb will cancel it if there are no sporting achievements. Button is favourite again. But 2.88 is a bit skinny is it not?

If he wins the pot things might get very interesting
By:
Asparagus Man
When: 10 Sep 09 09:07
Button is the only one left now of the major contenders where what he does in terms of performance in the rest of the year is going to determine this market.

So I guess the key question is if he does win what will his price be? I reckon around evens?

If he doesn't win the F1 he has next to zero chance imo.
By:

McCoy 11 to lay for top 3

Is there some sort of campaign going down?
By:
Asparagus Man
When: 10 Sep 09 15:58
Button is a tricky one to judge imo - I will happily lay him if he is much below evens though.

Much might depend on the manner of his victory (if it comes) - a thrilling last race drive would help him significantly.

Obviously the car has been shown to be massive but I think the GBP warm to Jenson more than they do Lewis Hamilton and may feel he is 'deserving' having had a long time with a rubbish car etc.

F1's being 'engineered' to go down to the wire I suspect - cant see the UAE wanting the title already decided by the time of their their first GP in Abu Dhabi
By:
GeorgeBrush
When: 10 Sep 09 16:32
Knowing spoty a Button win would lead to some pretty good laying fodder.

High profile stuff ain't it.

Yes, you can say he has more appeal than Hamilton, but then he's softened up the voters for a couple of years.

The housewife's choice won by some distance last year iirc.
