ALASTAIR COOK's time as England Test captain could be nearing an end, according to Ladbrokes.

After losing the Test series to India with a match to spare, the bookies make it just 6-4 the Essex batsman stands down in 2017.

And according to the latest odds, Joe Root is the heir apparent with 1-10 saying the Yorkshireman becomes England's next permanent Test skipper.

The India series might not have gone England's way, but after the debuts of Keaton Jenings and Haseeb Hameed it's 5-1 and 8-1 respectively they eventually go on to captain the country.

On today's sporting schedule there's the likes of Scottish Open snooker and NBA, so as usual let's hear all your tips and chat.

      Nice pick & winner, won half way into 3rd quarter

    • the lucky filipino 7 years ago

      Thanks mate

    • raoul duke 7 years ago

      Nice win.

      Last night was a tricky card.. I passed.

      Big card tonight.. some decent match ups too.

      Thunder on a b2b at Jazz… tough. Grizzlies will have Gasol back tonight for the reverse home game against Cavs, who are without LeBron, Irving and Love.

      Couple of quick glance thoughts ?

    • the lucky filipino 7 years ago

      @raoul-duke thanks mate..just finish work & seen your msg.no way cavs leaving behind their big 3 for reverse fixture?..if that’s the case might take jr smith to have another good game if his lines are good..he looked bk to his very best last night..will see later..?

    • raoul duke 7 years ago

      @the-lucky-filipino

      Here’s Cav’s starters tonight:

      1. Tristan Thompson
      2. Channing Frye
      3. James Jones
      4. Iman Shumpert
      5. DeAndre Liggins

      I took Grizzlies ML earlier.

    • the lucky filipino 7 years ago

      Oh wow jr smith not even starting ?…So cavs defeated griz with only 2 stars now they gonna try do it with none ?… A rested gasol should dominate the paint tonight…

      Also looking at the nets vs lakers…
      Brook Lopez is the first to come in my head who should have a good scoring night specially with Lin bk..

      And chris Paul to get another double double tonight..should have another good game ..

      Will look into it more once I’m out this damn traffic ?..????

    Leeds v Bath

    Bet365 have this priced up wrong in my opinion. Bath have played 8 and have 19 points on the board with a decent away win against Cardiff recently. Leeds are rock bottom with 3 points from 9 games.

    Bath -1 point spread
    1.90 @ bet365

    I’ve stuck 5 points on this but this by no means its a dead cert. Just my take onit.

    Once again my bet doesn’t post. Let’s try again…

    NBA Double

    Grizzlies ML
    Clippers ML

    Double @ 1.93 (PP)

    • raoul duke 7 years ago

      Nothing flashy. Just 2 teams I expect to win.

      Good luck ✌

  6. Jordan 7 years ago

    Well, last nights double was a very bad bet, but the first in a while on the NBA. Both selections lost.

    Chicago Bulls -2.5
    Golden State Warriors 1st Half ML

    4/5 @ Skybet – 2.5 points **LOSE**

    Tonight I’m on

    LA Clippers -6 @ 81/100 @ Marathon Bet – 2.5 points

    Not all bookies have this game up yet. PP have the line at 6.5 which is also worth taking.

    • Jordan 7 years ago

      Line gone. Clippers are now -9.5 across the board :)

    • raoul duke 7 years ago

      Haha yea man, I’m thinking I should have played Clips as a single too.. ?

      Grizz should land though tbf.

      Good luck ?

  7. raoul duke 7 years ago

    NBA Bet 14/12

    Detroit Pistons @ Dallas Mavericks

    Pick – Pistons -4.5 @ 1.90 (PP)

    Pistons were embarrassed losing at home against the 76er’s.. they only managed 79 points.

    I expect them to bounce back against a struggling Dallas team, they wont have an answer to Drummond.

    -4.5 is a decent line at Paddy Power. Most places are -5.5.

    Good luck.

    NBA Bet 14/12

    Toronto Raptors @ Philadelphia 76er’s

    Pick – Raptors -8.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365)

    Raptors have been ATS machines, covering 10 of their last 11, and are 17-7 ATS (70.83%) overall.

    76er’s are in a rare position, in which they’ve won 2 in a row, and there’s no way they’re going to make it 3 tonight.

    Rap’s destroyed them by 27 points a couple of weeks ago, Embiid didn’t play that game, but he’ll be back tonight so it may not be another 25+ point drubbing… even so, I don’t think 8.5 points is enough cover for the 76ers.

    Good luck.
