Yep, Carter is matching Selby for safety. Sigh of relief there, got out of that one and not left anything easy. Is he going for this?

rubbish.

How did he throw the advantage away there? Please explain. I thought it was 2 good shots from Carter, Selby didn't play a bad shot there.

he did not take the free ball he put the balls back to a obvious position where carter would leave nothing in escaping from a snooker ie giving the advantage away.....please learn <ok>

Oh dear, I go away, make a coffee and come back and Carter is right in the balls. I can sense the result already. I want to see an exciting match. Doesn't look likely now.

Oh yes because he knew he would leave the white touching the black and snookering both reds from a length of the table cushion first escape didn't he?

that sounds like I'm admitting defeat, I'm not. He could only lay a similar snooker, he didn't have a free ball pot to go at and he would've been aiming to get the white where it was anyway, so why not put it back? Carter was lucky to land on the black.

i said he would before he played it.

the only thing was foul shots no chance in leaving a chance.

he would have been better off putting the white near a balk pocket forcing carter to hit the balls clean with difficult cuing.
