I find watching snooker on television very weird without commentary. Which is odd, considering I never buy those commentary headsets things at events.
I remember the commentary going down on the BBC once and I'm thinking; "Result! No Virgo." Within about 90 seconds I'd turned over to Eurosport just because I was so used to people talking over the picture. Even if what they are saying is absolute twiddle.

That's bad news according to hendon in regards to future Aussie opens. He said dings progress in it was more important than robbos.

Anyway, did Ding provide a reason for his withdrawal? He hasn't done a Ronnie, has he?
why wasent it going to be viable?
god sake how pathetic todays players really are and lets be honest some fans has got even less clue and that says a hell of a lot.

To correct myself it's actually a passport problem. Don't know what it is but it seems that's what stopped Ding making his way to Oz.

Why did the Aussies refuse to give Ding a visa?
To improve Robbo's chances of winning their Aussie Open
