I Hope that all 5 Chinese Rankers next term will have different feel to them and Format of Play..

Shanghai,China Open now World Open has same 2 session of 4 matches and 8 wild cards...same event in different Region of china.

i think there was a case of bringing last 48 to the World Open.

maybee having 2 tables roll on roll off at another event so they have a different feel from each other

Bummer for Sam Baird. Four qualifying matches to get to his only second venue and he gets beaten by a wildcard, who I have found is an ex-tour player. Wonder how much 'that blue' has affected Sam, and if he would have lost this match a month ago. From beating Mark Davis, Dominic Dale and almost Selby, he has been whitewashed by Tian Pengfei and a wildcard.

used to be ten a penny them shots along the cushions that rolled in.

the template of the pockets or the change of the balls must have caused them to be rare occurences now.

back in the 80s and even early 90s i remember the montages of the WC and there were always a few of them each year.

TT looked confused, dont think he was sure whether it was a legal shot or it was a foul haha

Milkins a total CDL for just blanking him

That's what I meant. All we can hear is noise in the background.

Unfortunately YouTube wasn't around 30 years ago. That doesn't mean you are right for once.

Accept you are wrong. It will be less painful in the long run.

Alex Higgins was even playing Terry Griffiths when he made two of those shots, and he was also playing Kirk Stevens once when he made one in the bottom corner pocket like that.

theres 3 from Higgins for starters ive sourced. <ok>

by the way, serious question. what happens if the white jumps up and lands on cushion and stays there. I did a mad power shot one time and it ended up there , debated for ages and i said it wasnt a foul and opponent had to play the shot from there and he disputed this. In the end i let him have 4 points and stick it in D, im 99% sure he was right but what the hell i argued anyway

That's good enough for me. I'm sure I can remember a few others too. Be careful though - if you find too many, Wild may have another breakdown. :-)
