Bank Of Beijing China Open Quarter Final Discussion!!!!

One thing about Peter Ebdon, he puts a serious amount of thought into his shots. Even when he gets down to play the shot the thinking still ain't done. He must be one positive minded dude.

Am back. Robbo and Ebdon finally get their second frame over, while Ding looks like he'll beat Ali.

By the way Mags. Lee.

Robbo is probably trying to slow down Peter

Fascinating stuff between Ebdon and Robbo. Now we'll get an answer to this essential question: does a brain perform better when kept warm under a thatch of hair or when kept cool under a shiny scalp? This might determine the next trend among the headworkers in snooker.

3-1 Ding. Chance of a century.

Edit: Breaks down at 88

I think for proper comparison Robbo will have to face Ebdon with both his natural and straightened hair to see which works better.

Edit: Although I love how Robbo vs Ebdon is fascinating, but when Selby plays its boring.

Playing Long Balls screwing back to the balk cush INCASE you miss is Negative thats one thing id like to see both Robbo and Trump improve on play for something off long pots they so good at Long Pots why hedge your bets.

Could be a long frame now with the pink blocking the pocket. If only there was a name for these types of frames where a colour blocks a pocket...

There is, sort of: it usually ends up as a "magnet frame" as the players tend to push the reds towards the blocked pocket.

no 2-1 robbo

Never mind it got sorted while I flicked over to the other channel to see Maguire's fluked treble.

i went for a snake hiss washed my hands and took a bag to a bin faster than it took ebdon to pot red and colour lol

again this screwing back buisness

pot red stun for bloody brown=possitive

Ali starting to struggle has to keep focused. At least Ding isn't on a colour...

That's nothing. I went to school, came back, went for lunch and finished before the pair of them finished the second frame #grinders

Ebdon taking ages over this shot. He could've scored a 12 break by now...

That was when he was young and fast, not nowadays

Ding messed up position for blue, still a chance for Ali to win this frame. Big frame, 4-1 or 3-2 depending on the outcome.

Robbo has a kick

Ding gets the blue but messes up the pink and Ali gets doubles the pink .

3-2 Ding.

Peter

Ding Junhui 3-2 Ali Carter
Neil Robertson 2-2 Peter Ebdon

Carter now needs two snookers to level at 3-3 otherwise it's 4-2.

Edit: Nevermind. Ali needs a miracle now.

Are Robbo and Ebdon already in their midsession interval

Even better. They're back.

Looks like it's all over now for Carter.

Odd miracle, like that time I tripped and broke fingers.
