*Shaun Murphy* 4-0 Steve Davis
Yep,just as i thought,too BIG a fish was murphy for Davis tonight,could,nt keep the good form he had going.
Nevertheless,very good stuff from Davis gettin to the last 16 at the age of 54!.

Higgins's B game is harder to beat than his A game.

Is it embarrassing for you, that a guy playing this badly managed to thrash Robertson?
Davis beat carter you fool not robbo
Oh yeah. I'm getting my legends mixed up.
Does it show I've had quite bad insomnia for the past few days?

Higgins very very rarely plays his A game, he himself has admited it, even his Z game is hard to beat..

We're making that sound like a bad attribute. I bet there's a few players who wish this was true of them.

Mediocre safety and inconsistent potting.

Someone, can't remember who, once won the Masters without making a 50. Big breaks aren't everything.

And I meant his tactital nous, his abillity to get on your opponents head even when behind, because they know Higgins will always come back and fight, even if his breakbulding isnt sharp...

" Big breaks aren't everything".
Exactly Skullman,thats exactly what i,ve been sayin for years.
Of course BIG breaks are great,great to watch but there,s far more to snooker than that!.
