Countdown


  
  • 21 days to Euro 2012 in Poland and The Ukraine
  • 31 days to Wimbledon
  • 62 days to the Open Championship at Royal Lytham
  • 71 days to the London Olympic Games

The football and rugby seasons are drawing to a close. The finals of the Champions League, Championship, Leagues 1 and 2 Play Offs, Heineken Cup and Aviva Premiership all being played out this and next weekend. But when one door closes another opens and so we have an exiting summer of sport to look forward to.

The first test match against the West Indies has started and there are the One Day Internationals against Australia and the test match series against South Africa to come. England's number one test ranking will be put to the test.

The BaBas play England, Ireland and Wales. These teams then head off for tough tests against South Africa, New Zealand and Australia respectively.

You can get 13/1 for England to win Euro 2012, Andy Murray 15/2 to win Wimbledon, Lee Westwood 14/1 to win The Open and Dai Green 9/4 to win the 400 m hurdles. A £10 accumulator bet would return £58,012.

Or, slightly less speculatively, Spain at 5/2, Djokovic at 13/8, McIlroy at 9/1 and Bolt to win the 100m at 4/7 would return £1,433.

Do you feel lucky?
