With an upcoming general election, the release of the last Harry Potter movie, and news that Chris Evans will be back on air only this time on Radio 2, for the sports fanatic, the 2010 schedule of global sports events should make the other events of the year quite dull actually.

Then on top of that there’s the Cricket World twenty20 among others, Champion’s League football, the Common Wealth games in New Dehli, India, and the WBC super middle weight title fight between Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler with plenty more.
