...so he's nothing like Selby then :redneck:

Actually Carter beat Selby in a semi-final in China I think, best of 11 and he played really well so he's certainly capable of beating him, but last few times they've met Selby has been on a different level.

How? Ali is a Selby with less scoring power and a worse temperament and safety.


Call it a gut feeling....


I'm with you. I can see Ali beating Selby here.

I'm not saying inferior. I'm just saying he scores less heavily (true), has worse safety (most of tour does) and has worse temperament (he does bottle more, although I'll concede Ali has better temperament at the Crucible, but this isn't the Crucible, is it?).

They have met 25 times Selby leads 15-9 but in Main Ranking Events/Masters its 5-3 Selby.

Their first meeting was the 2001 UK Championship last 80 Carter won 5-3.

This seems more like the UK where he looked like a decent performance could beat him and it did in the UK.


But I do agree with what Skull said here, he hasn't been in the form he was at the Masters and this tournament may well be like his UK run no doubt.

I hope it isn't though. :-D
