Nominations announced and betting underway.
Best odds:
Button: 8/11
Ennis: 9/2
Haye: 8/1
Giggs: 10/1
Strauss: 16/1
Rest are 50/1 or better.
Thoughts? No surprise for Button to be favourite but I wonder if there is value in Haye? Boxers often do well in SPOTY and his triumph was recent.
Ennis is a yay but is the World Championship an interesting enough event? Giggs is more a lifetime achievement candidate. Strauss probably deserves it as he took the captaincy with England in an awful state and it was hard to imagine he would take back the Ashes even against a mediocre Australia.
