Yeah I was being facetious as usual.
Carter's one of thise weird players for me where his results never seem to be reflected in the quality of his play when I watch him. I can't remember watching him have an unbeatable session whereas Marco and Hawkins I have. Probably has something to do with my choice.
Marco was the name that instant came to mind, even when Colin Murray mentioned it last night.

When he’s 50! And he’ll be hungry and not battle scarred. A danger player.

James Wattana in his prime was better than all those mentioned.

It's a pity he became a sitting duck for Thai gangsters. He could've achieved a lot more in the game.

I knew about some of these stories floating around but never knew how true they were.
His main problem was a prime Stephen Hendry.
Wattana gave John Parrott a lot of batterings though!
Actually, Wattana head to head over Parrott was only 12-9, so Parrott must have won a few when I wasn't watching!

Yeah, unfortunately for him his prime coincided with a peak Hendry, O'Sullivan, Higgins, Williams, Stevens, Hunter, Ebdon, Doherty...

Well he did get to the Masters final, albeit he got destroyed. 10-3 was it?

That was the closest he got, but even then the result was never in doubt.

Either Fu or Carter.
Fu at his best is better than Carter, Hawkins too. Hawkins probably the best of these 3 when at his best.

Maybe you were Wattana's good luck charm.

Lol!
I am sure I saw a few of Parrott's wins over Wattana but my memory is fading!
Parrott didn't like playing Wattana, nor did he like playing Darren Morgan.

I'd say Hawkins, Fu or Lee, i agree Wattana's also a good shout.

Wattana is an awful shout for somebody 'yet to win a Triple Crown Event'.
