Dafabet World Championship Qualifying Rnd 1 (8-9th April)

Skullman wrote:Wow, Pinches really fired up. 5-0 up on Hammad Miah and the fastest match (for once).

See that the match between O'Donnell and Castle is pretty one sided atm. Wasn't expecting that.

He saw what Wild said, and wanted to prove history wrong.

Im disappointed he didnt even say what they ate or uploaded a picture
that shows he is still relatively new to twitter

I do better than that when posting on this site, let alone twitter.

Watching the Pagett Zhang match, saw the ref replace the white without using the marker.

Wow 7-0 Pinches. Would like to see him qualify he does some good statuses on facebook and likes to keep his 'fans' in the know which is good to see.

Im buzzed for this tournament this year! And im back posting after a long break (concentrating on uni work) But all coursework is handed in now and only one exam to concentrate on. Meanwhile easter over runs the WC...nice

Also I have a sad feeling Dale wont qualify, Maflin can play awesome and thrash any opponent, especially Dale who isnt at his best form of recent

Martin O'Donnell probably playing his best pro match here. 3 centuries to go 5-1 up in Shane Castle

could that be a whitewash? quite bad from Miah, even Khaled Abumdas won a frame

Haha exactly what i was thinking

Plus Miah had a 110 in china right? He cant be that bad!

I'll post about it when The Crucible is on. If I post about what I'm eating when the snooker isn't on, it's off topic.

Wouldn't want to spam the board.

Miah wins a frame!

Craig Steadman 2-3 Jak Jones
Liam Highfield 8-1 Khaled Belaid Abumdas

thats nice from you

Michaela is refereeing the Zhang-Pagett match, wasnt it a different referee in the previous frames?

Zhang Anda close to getting revenge on Pagett, having lost to him at this stage in 2011.

Hammad Miah was docked the first frame for late arrival. Has he been hanging out with Neil Robertson?

Zhang Anda 7-2 Andrew Pagett
Craig Steadman 2-4 Jak Jones
Liam Highfield 8-1 Khaled Belaid Abumdas
Thanawat Tirapongpaiboon 5-4 Sanderson Lam
Barry Pinches 8-1 Hammad Miah
Kyren Wilson 6-3 Chris Norbury
Martin O'Donnell 8-1 Shane Castle
Daniel Wells 2-6 Ryan Clark
Jamie O'Neill 3-4 Cao Xin Long
Paul S Davison 7-2 Chris Wakelin
Michael Leslie 4-2 Christopher Keogan

Tony Drago qualified for china but did not travel and on twitter he said it was because of depressions regarding his tour place.

well his tour place is gone unless he makes the quarter finals minimum so he is playing for pride.

Pinches lost a frame? bucking amateur.

Dale will qualify and then draw Trump in the first round.

China wouldnt have made much difference (though he was in the 4th quarter of the draw where Mike Dunn beat Selby to reach the semi)

his tour place depends on those ahead him on the ET order of merit
as it stands now if one of them gets into the top 64 he qualifies
Brecel currently 65th, Baird 66th, Pinches 73rd, Burns 74th, Walker 77th on the money list
so good luck for them here

Ill be watching Drago, should be good fun as always!

Breaks like that make you wonder why drago isnt still getting results over in about 3 mins

that was classic Drago
did he tear the carpet?

WTF? Luca had Page in a snooker, which he failed to escape, leaving a pretty simple frame ball red, and Luca puts him back!

Ends up winning the frame but still it's decisions like that probably hold Luca back against players better than Page.
