yes overall his game does look like its slowly coming together again....to much to ask it reaches its 90s standard but im happy how hes playing just needs a run to get some confidence.

90's standard=90's tables,These tables are more difficult in to play.

Behave yourself are they. You only have to flick off the pack and the reds break like a starburst.

Wild,If you play snooker you would know that they are trying to achieve two ball control on a virtual sheet of ice with the knowledge that if the shot is not cued and timed right it rattles in the very tight pocket.

Real knowledge,Not assumed.

Yes, but still Hendry played well, was unluckt at some times when he pots some good long pots only to be on no colour, so had to be play safe. Robbo was too good for him in the end, much better than his match against Cope.

4-3 to Higgins, but Ebdon about to draw level.. honestly didnt expect Ebdon to be so challeging against John, but in a way it´s no surprise given John´s form this season

gallantrabbit wrote:My question is did Hendry actually play well or has he finally learned to dig in?? The latter would be better for his career, he'd soon be back in the top 16...

Ebbo

Carter fussed about discussing whether he was going to come or not this week, and whether he should retire or not and gave several twitter rants, whereas Lu Ning looked in every way Shaun's superior yesterday.

Of course, he's 18 and an amateur, so experience/nerves might catch up with him. But he didn't look nervous at all yesterday. My first reaction after the match was; "Tournament winner". Maybe an overreaction based on one performance, but what a performance it was.

I really hope he can repeat it over Ali today.

Trust your well gallant mate.
Mental isn't it. Come the World's Peter Ebdon always start practicing & putting the work in again. Hard nut to crack when he's on his game, eh?
What about John Higgins tho? Where's he provisionally ranked I wonder? He'll be the next player everyone will be talking about questioning his Top 16 place. Is he any good?

I am well mate and you? Ebbo looks like he's going to tumble, but you know he takes everything in life seriously so you just don't write him off easily. I do think he should be a little less intense about every ball and relax a wee bit.
I think JH might up the practice from now on in too... write him off for the worlds? No way.

Yeah I'm sound thanks. Hitting the beer later.
I just had another look at the draw. If he wins his first match he's got Stuart Bingham. If he wins that he's got Graeme Dott or Stephen Maguire. If he wins that he's got Judd Trump. If he wins that my auntie's got bollicks mate.
