That's how, in my opinion, Greg Gilbert, George Alagiah and Deborah James, could so well so far. And John Andretti. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, so out of 60 picks from my three DDP teams, ten have died in 10 weeks. Almost enough for the whole 60/60 rate. Let's see if Russell Brand gives a tribute in the Guardian.
