FRANKIE'S FLUTTER

GOT one right out of two last week with my prediction that Andy Murray would get to the Wimbledon final.
This week I am suggesting a few long-term bets.
The first is that either Brazil or Spain will win the Men's Olympic Gold in the football.
The second is that Bradley Wiggins will win the Tour de France (providing he avoids a repeat of the injury that wrecked his hopes last year).
The third is that Chelsea will win the Premier League next season, with Man City runners-up. I very much like the players Roman has brought in at the Bridge, swift, small and nimble a la Barcelona.
And the fourth is that England's cricketers will not lose the three-Test series against the South Africans over the next month. England are ranked No 1 in the world with their visitors at No 2 so it should be a cracking contest.
I believe England have enough quality to win through, but with the weather so unpredictable right now I am a little reluctant to predict they will be outright winners. The weather could easily mean it ends up all level!
