Why he should keep out of property and stick to being a movie star You wouldn't necessarily expect Hollywood stars to make great property developers – they buy what they want, and they move when they feel like it – but for the most part they are cushioned from minor market fluctuations. There's always some sucker willing to pay more for a house just because someone famous once owned it....

• Worcestershire 214-6; Sussex 165 • Sussex retain one-day crown, despite defeat at Worcester Sussex were roundly outplayed by Worcestershire, but half an hour after the end of the match they celebrated their second trophy of the season. They retained their NatWest Pro40 title, to go with the Twenty20 Cup they won last month, to partially ease the painful memory of being relegated from the...

Harmison and Collingwood may have been away winning a little urn, but their county went from strength top strength in their bid to retain the championship pennant. In a low-scoring game, Durham beat Warwickshire by eight wickets to extend their lead at the top to a massive 37 points. Thorp took 5-49 and Benkenstein 3-20 in the first innings and Davies 3-19 in the second to set up an easy run chase....

The county champions go into game 12 with a healthy 28-point lead. No lucky breaks, either, as they have won twice as many games as anybody else and have yet to lose a single four-day match. They now face Warwickshire, who will be without both their in-form batsmen Bell and Trott who will almost certainly play for England in the Fifth Test. Yes, Durham will be without Collingwood, Onions and Harmison...

Sussex 326-3; Somerset The prospect of depriving Durham of the County Championship must feel a little like overtaking Usain Bolt having given the sprinter a 10-yard start. Somerset are one of the few sides with a plausible chance of overhauling the title-holders but their already thin chances receded further here when the Sussex batsmen dominated the opening day after winning the toss. This is the...

• Sussex 172-7 (20 over); Somerset 109 • Sussex win by 63 runs Sussex Sharks lifted the Twenty20 Cup for the first time - and qualified for the lucrative Champions League - when they defeated Somerset Sabres by 63 runs in the final at Edgbaston.

Ogmore by Sea If you ask people of a certain age “Have you been to Ogmore-by-sea” they will be misty eyed: reminiscing about a school camp; muddy but the first experience of staying without parents. For other people it is the stunning sunsets viewed from the car park. It was the latter that my grandparents first experienced from their Combi. By chance they found this wonderful corner of...

Starlins swarm. Fishes swarm. Insects swarm . So Glastonbury is a swarm too. Sometimes a swampy swarm, sometimes not. This year the weather gods reminded us of their power at the beginning and the end, but left us to get on with enjoying it in the main. But Glastonbury is more than just a swarm of people, so many in the hypnotic crowds that you forget that each is an individual, their faces are doors...

So, after a 13-hour shift on Thursday, I went out for a quick drink -- and was almost instantly called back into work to co-ordinate the BBC's Michael Jackson coverage. This included, frighteningly, having to decide at what point the Beeb would declare the King Of Pop dead (11:52pm, if you're interested - not until we'd received verification from three separate, reliable sources). I also had to write...
