A huge fan of the doubles format. :) Just seems that these players aren't.
I'm sure that there will be a team that specialises in these and get 100% record in them. Maybe this seemingly non-communicative approach isn't the right way. Should have some banter, taking it this seriously doesn't clearly work. :)

like doubles not sure alternative pots just let one player finish off a break.

Banter or not (although I am partial to banter ;) ), there is this little problem: the two players, whoever they are, can be good but are they always well matched? Team spirit is very important and most of the players are used to individualistic approach...

There was too much of sitting down in that doubles. A big mistake to go and sit immediately after a pot.
To me, alternate shots is the way to go. People have been rather negative in twitter too, but I honestly don't get that. It was brilliant in all the horrifying-ness. Too rash conclusions after one televised doubles. I mean, Thailand 2 - Afghanistan didn't dwell on the doubles too much, or did it?

Brazil vs Belgium next!
Wild what's your opinion on Eurosport Player? Is it worth getting? I had U's Player (Colchester United) but cancelled it last month which was 3.99 a month as well.

Looking forward to seeing belgium actually.
Ive always been interested by bjorn haneveer. And ive only seen brecel in power snooker so will love watching him in proper snooker, he seemed very appealing to watch!

Theres worst scoring and breakbuilding in these matches than qualifying matches. Poor quality from every player except for the two centuries from ken and fergal.
