Ding looks sharp, Allen shot choice lets him down too much for my liking. <ok>


I know what you mean, it can be a bit random at times. Sometimes I think he playes the player more than the balls, all teh report yesterday said he played a very tight game against Maguire and it worked. Different today though :huh2:

Feels like he wants to pot Hendo off the table with a trail of fast breaks..... but Hendo likes that type of match more than a cagey type game. <ok>

Nice picture on Eurosport HD - not full HD but near enough.

Should have been Allens frame but 3-2 Hendry looks like....he's too far on the blue.... 3-2 Hendry

Ding pumping the traitor 4-0 :ahh:

For me that corner was turned when he despatched of Liang at the Crucible. Those last 3 frame to close the match out were the first signs of Ding under pressure playing his best.

Hendons blog wrote:When he beat Peter Ebdon 5-0 in the 2005 China Open, a somewhat insensitive Chinese journalist asked the 2002 Crucible champion the following question:

'Mr. Ebdon, how come you win the World Championship?'

His deadpan response was, under the circumstances, creditable. 'I was lucky,' he said.


<laugh>


Regarding Liang, I was there and saw it with my own eyes. Liang missed a blue to middle which was risky and in the end cost him but he got where he was in that match by being brave. Ding was awesome when the maximum pressure was on him at 8-7 down to another Chinese player with 100 million watching back home.

Anyone catch the 'quip' Mark Allen gave Stephen Hendry there after Stephen Hendry missed the green with the rest? Is young Mark Allen putting it about? <laugh>

I like that sort of thing, hope he called him a miserable, lucky, Scottish....... :redneck: <laugh>


<laugh> What did he say? Risky to say anything to Hendry after he misses a shot <laugh>
