Lull b4 the storm

Sorry for the quiet week on the blog, but with Cricinfo's calendar telling me I have two days off between this coming Sunday and December 20, it's been a week of odd-jobs such as mowing the lawns and preparation for a hectic betting schedule.

My main sport for betting is cricket, with rugby union/league and tennis being sidelines - so to kick off the month of madness coming up, this weekend sees:

Fri midnight to Sat 4 a.m. : Masters Cup Tennis

Sat 10 p.m.: Rugby League
Sat midnight: Masters Cup Tennis
Sun 3.30 a.m.: England v South Africa rugby

Somehow I don't think I'll survive to watch the All Blacks at 9 a.m. ...

Sun 5.30 p.m.: Pakistan v West Indies cricket
Sun 9 p.m.: South Africa v India cricket (missing the tennis final)
Mon 5 a.m.: Ireland v Australia rugby

My wife bless her soul thinks I have an easy life - lying on the couch in front of the tele and the laptop occasionally clicking the mouse to place a bet - but to be honest weekends like the one coming up really fcuk up your body clock and it takes a few days to recover. Not to mention trying to think straight with sleep deprivation.

Previews on some of these up tomorrow.
