Ricky's Cue did not make the Journey on the same Flight

So, is there any news on this? Has Walden been reunited with his cue yet?

Yes. It arrived at the end of the match.

Jeez, I didn't realise Dale had such a good head-to-head against Robertson. Dale.

Too good dom

Here's something I was wondering earlier. The head-to-head in the Battle of the Davises.

Chance of another Selby v Robbo match and more oppurtunities for Selby to get into Robbo's head if Robbo makes it then.

selby has his nemesis barry to deal with in round 2 first

Any critiscism of jill douglas is unfair

I was sceptical but she did a good job on her first day

Hi everyone, its Nigel here from The Old Green Baize, hope you're well.

Below is a report to the first day's play at the Haikou World Open - please feel free to take a look.

http://theoldgreenbaize.com/2013/02/25/ ... -report-2/

Excited about this tournament - will be interesting to see who wins it this year. Maybe we'll have another different major ranking winner for the season! Variety seems to be the spice of life in snooker at the moment.

As I've said in the report tomorrow's action could be somewhat overshadowed by Ronnie O'Sullivan's announcement. Going to be a very interesting day that's for sure,

All the best,
Nigel

Neil Robertson to win the whole tournament. Guaranteed!

Ryan Day is 2-0 up, but Mark Allen looks good in this frame.

The Great WT likes a lie in.

ITV4 bringing the big news.

There doesn't seem to be much on the ITV website's sports page about the snooker.

I was gonna ask you what you were gonna eat for breakfast,thanks for already answering my question!.


I put the telly on and just managed to see Day miss an easyish brown with the rest to the green bag,i then immediately thought to myself,"typical Day",if he had potted the brown,he would have most certainly gone 3-1 up at the MSI,but as usual he bottled it and ended up goin 2-2 into the MSI.


Days a good player,no doubt about it,he could be a very good player and go further in tourneys but he spoils the good play he produces by often bottling pots in key situations,missing too many easy pots and he often makes too many unforced errors.

Interesting to see if Jamie Cope hits the form now. He has just fabolous game when he´s in-form, just hasn´t been that for years.

Fu looks awfully diffucult for Mark Williams since Fu plays really carefully when he´s amongs the balls, and Williams is always in danger to start rush with his long pot efforts when facing opponent like that. Not even great single ball potter Williams can afford to do that, that´s how diffucult ballgame snooker is and all the players are class acts amongs the balls.

*Mark Allen* 5 Ryan Day 2


Day does it again!.


No wonder he rarely gets good results,especially lately.
He once again missed too many pots,made too many silly mistakes,unforced errors and made the BIG mistake of lettin Allen get off the hook!.


He really SHOULD have gone 3-1 up into the MSI,but lets not get into that,he,s one of the many SHOULD HAVE,COULD HAVE players!.



It,s about makin n takin your chances and gettin over the line n winnin!.


Day had more than enough chances,but blew em!.

A *118* from Murphy takes him into the decider against Gould!.
