    Couldn’t find a market on oddschecker
    but
    Frankie…. surely

    13/2 with Paddy, I’ve had a nibble
    he’s 3’s with Skybet and Hills
    Housewives favourite, I’m led to believe he’s retiring
    5 Group 1’s off the top of my head 2000 Guineas, Oaks, Coronation, International and Ascot Gold Cup

    Stuart Broad is in the same boat and 2/1 fav but 13/2 looks a bit more edible
    Lost the Ashes

    Dettori 6-1 ew. Hopeful he’d be in the first 3, a win we’ll have to wait and see.

    Broad “at the end of this series I’m retiring”.
    Done dusted and finished in spectacular style.
    Press “ what will you do now?”
    Broad “The usual stuff, do a few interviews, but mainly say goodbye to the fans and my teammates. I might even do strictly like the other lads! I’m looking forward to spending more time with my family. It’s not all just about me.”
    Press “ nice one, thanks”.

    Dettori “at the end of next season I’m retiring and to celebrate I’m going on a world tour to say goodbye to everyone.”
    “ By the way, I’m auctioning off all my trophies, so I can rent my house out, because Elton told me it would be a good idea, and Netflix are going to follow me everywhere but you can as well, please. Just ask my agent for all the details.
    Press “when will it all end?”.
    Dettori “ when you run out of money”.

    Even I’ve heard of Stuart Broad, and I haven’t powered up my televisual unit since the last General Election.

    A favourite with a favourite’s chance.

    Bit surprised to see Chezza not quoted in the betting – undefeated world hob nob-eating champion, placed on Arc Day, what more do the general public want?

    Spot on Sam… but we need to put Frankie in a good light now. :rose:

    Ian.. Nathbet has priced Chezza up at 12/1.

    As a general rule of thumb, if Nathbet is offering 12/1 about any outcome to any event, you can rest assured the real odds are a million.

    “Mike is welcome to 25’s”.

    I assume that is with a cash out option? ;-)

    As per the t&cs
    Cash out options are only available on winning bets
    any cash out attempts before an event will be hit with a charge of 110% the cash out
    Free bets require a turn over of any winnings to be played x million within the hour or become void

    Both update: “Chezza Vox Pop” canvassed three people at a Basingstoke Bus stop, all three had heard of Chris Broad, two out of the three had heard of Frankie Dettori (the third one mixed him up with Frankie & Bennys and Little Frankies) none of the three had heard of the Sun Chariot Stakes but all three could remember Chris Broad’s Ashes Series.

    I preferred Gooch as opener to Broad
    My brother had the bat he used SS Turbo I think it was. Not Gooch’s but a replica that he bought in the shop
    Bloody great weight on it.
    I had the Hick 405 myself but in the youth games I played with my Grandads bat, no sponsor, had plenty of funny looks but it had a sweet middle
    My friend borrowed it once and left it outside overnight and it rained, killed it
    I still don’t talk to him

    “My friend borrowed it once and left it outside overnight and it rained, killed it. I still don’t talk to him”

    The moral of this story is: Don’t have friends and don’t ever lend anyone anything.

    “I’m not your friend” and “you’re confusing me with a bank” are two stock responses which have stood me in good stead over the years.

    It’s a lean year, Dettori must have a puncher’s chance.

    There is no standout and with not much else to come bar the rugby and cricket world cups it’s hard to see anyone emerging. England or Wales won’t be winning the rugby and whilst the cricket remains possible, it will be hard work. You then have the possibility of a split vote if Broad ends up on the list along with whoever does the Stokes style final heroics.
