Ed Hawkins
Ed Hawkins is betting.betfair's chief cricket correspondent. He has worked in national newspapers for 12 years, the majority at the Racing Post where he was cricket tipster.
He has built a reputation as shrewd student of the game thanks to memorable tipping feats like tipping Pakistan for glory at the 2009 World Twenty20, Rajasthan for inaugural IPL glory and a 90 per cent profit on the most recent World Cup in the Caribbean.
During England Test matches he writes a live betting blog, despairing at Alastair Cook's technique and turning to copious amounts of cake to cope with the trauma of it all.
