Cricket and Golf

Well, after the shock of the Power throwing away his record last night, its time for a new month, so lets get that profit column off to a good start.

12.30 West Indies to beat South Africa 3/1 (LOST -1.00 - Windies couldn't quite get enough on the board despite a late flurry and then couldnt quite get key wickets)
The West Indies seem to have got to grips with the South African attack at last in the 3rd game of this five match series, and so now could mount a serious challenge on a ground that has no historical advantage for the home side. Their last seven ODI's in Durban have yielded 3 wins, 3 losses and a tie. So 3/1 seems worth a nibble

3.07 Calcavecchia to win 3-ball price 7/4 (WON +0.75 - Didn't look good after 14 holes with Calc +3, Hoffman one shot ahead and Bohn two shots ahead. But an eagle and two birdies pushed Calc ahead and a win for us)
Calc knows this Scottsdale track better than anyone, having won here 3 times, and a respectable -1 yesterday puts him well positioned to make the weekend. Jason Bohn also carded -1 but his putting was poor, so I'd take Calc to hit a few more fairways and greens and overcome him today. The third player, Charley Hoffman shot four birdies (one more than either of the other two), but five bogies and a double bogey 7 showed how he struggled to hit the greens and he will be scrambling to still be here for the weekend
