There wasn't much purpose for it to be fair. Even a casual snooker viewer will know who the slowest and fastest players are.

But is it something we needed to know?

Yes, Selby isn't really a "slow player" in the normal sense, as these stats show. However, his tactical preferences, his (admittedly) brilliant safety game and his (admittedly) impressive ability to hold 100% concentration for very long periods of relatively uninspiring snooker often impact on frame duration.


I guess when people describe him as "slow" or "slowby" this is more what they refer to. Steve Davis would be in the same boat.


Good post.

So those who call Selby slow are more than likely meaning they don't like tactical play to the extent that Selby plays it and equate that with slow play when its technically not based on these stats.

Yes. I would not have said so before I saw these stats, but I believe that is the case now.

He's ranked 48th also on the list of average frame time: http://top-snooker.com/srednyaya-prodol ... st-frejma/ 19:51, similar to Hawkins, Bingham, Wenbo, Carter. He's 15th out of the top 16, with McGill taking 22 minutes per frame. I guess Selby plays a lot of deciders and close matches which might impact how people see him. Obviously, among top players he's on the slower side.

Selby a respectable 48th.


Dott will be trying his hardest to be 2nd place just behind Ronnie.
