Root Domain ranking for most keywords

Our website is over 10 years old and has been very successful with google. We rank highly for our keywords, but recently a strange thing has happend. Google has indexed a video from our front page (which no longer exists) and shows this listing instead of the sub pages. This means the listing is irrelevant to the search term.

Term is "Junior Cricket Bats"
https://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_en-GBGB377GB377&q=junior+cricket+bats

should some up with this page
http://www.cricketsupplies.com/junior-cricket-bats.asp

but shows the root domain
http://www.cricketsupplies.com/ with this video link which does not exist

We should be ranking really well , and were , but now not so good , even though SEOmoz loves our pages

if anybody can see anything obvious i would be thanksful.

regards

Rob

robert , our site maps are controlled using google webmaster tools , but on another domain.
using http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ , which gets updated everyday.

thanks for looking

Nick: I would probably place from time to time a copy of the sitemap on my site, just to be sure that any search engine which complies with robots.txt will find it.
