Yeah like Smart once said also, he does tend to play a lot of deciders, and can't win more matches cause he just can't get over the line in most of those... a shame... since that run to the Worlds first round where he narrowly lost 10-9 against Hendry after leading 9-7 he hasn't quite managed to capture that form again

Interesting to see if Barry Pinches gets some runs together during the rest of a season.. There´s a thread about overrated players, but I would call him a very underrated for what I have seen him playing. He´s playing against Mark Allen next.

but lets be honest he didn't catch that sort of form before either.

at the moment that looks like a isolated purple patch.

Last seasons World Open where he beat Luca 5-4 and Rory 5-2 to reach the Last 48 is his best Event apart from that WC in 2010

Decider alert between Alfie and Scott.

C'mon Scott!

Maflin clears up to saty alive in the match, including tremendous pots on the final brown along the rail and the pot on the pink for position on the final black to snatch that frame.

3-2 to Davis, while Anda just about to win his match against Jimmy.. needs one more red and colour

Alfie Burden 3-3 Scott Donaldson
Jimmy White 2-3 Zhang Anda
Alan McManus 3-2 Jamie O'Neill
Jimmy Robertson 3-3 Robbie Williams
Steve Davis 3-2 Kurt Maflin

Jimmy loses his match after leading 2 nil disappointing, but fair play to Anda, who did enough to win after Jimmy clearly was a bit frustrated in that last frame.

Liang Wenbo 4-0 Tony Drago
Alfie Burden 3-3 Scott Donaldson
Jimmy White 2-4 Zhang Anda
Alan McManus 4-2 Jamie O'Neill
Jimmy Robertson 3-3 Robbie Williams
Steve Davis 3-2 Kurt Maflin

Had Cao Yupeng got on a run this week Jimmy Whites Position in the top 64 was under Threat.

Would Jimmy had Lost his tour place had he finished below 64 in the rankings answer to that is NO he would have survived on the PTC Order of Merit and Chris Norbury Missing out.

Alfie Burden 4-3 Scott Donaldson
Jimmy Robertson 4-3 Robbie Williams
Steve Davis 3-2 Kurt Maflin

one More question to be answered this afternoon.

Who plays Mark Selby in Newport? Maflin or Davis

Hope its davis, though Maflin is making a good job of getting the snookers he needs.. got one, needs another

And Maflin gets the other... can now win the 6th frame and force the decider

Davis pots the yeallow... Maflin can only tie the frame now

Friday 8th of February

Alfie Burden 4-3 Scott Donaldson

Davis is through

Earns a meeting with Selby at the venue... a good match that will be I'm sure, even if it means Davis getting trashed by Mark.

Davis through. Let's see how he fares against Selby...

Wild do you know if the last 64 round will have commentary on liveworldsnooker.tv?

well he normally tweets if there's commentary. thats hardly hanging on his word...he does commentary and you don't or id wait for your tweets

gouldfather v baird should be good

Am I reading the scoreboard wrong again or is Ian Burns 4-0 up on Cope

Burns won 4-0 by walk over

cope mustnt have turned up

Not surprised TBH given his draw

Cope prob just chose to sit out this event

hardly as if its compulsary to enter anyway so no big deal

Give him the benefit and assume he got held up in traffic or something until we know better.

Gouldy v Baird has been good so far. Frame 2 had a great 10 minute or so exchange at the end with both playing great safety and equally getting away with murder with fluking snookers from snooker and missed pots. It had everything. Gould was bossing it overall to be fair.
