well using Ali Carter in that way would really be a case of using cancer for publicity i think that would be disgusting.

In what way, they could have been looking at him as a potential pundit before the whole cancer scare thing. They'll have been looking for younger players to join the team given the younger grouping of their pundits finished there prime over a decade ago.

Anyone else think Fu v Lyu Haotion would be a better streamed match than Selby v Morris?

Not really,but i,ll be watchin the Jimmy/Ding match anyway.



Hopefully Selbs will win it,or at least go far in this tourney,so we,ll be able to watch him in action after today.

At the end of the day Selby v Morris is a foregone conclusion, Fu has a very real chance of being eliminated similarly with Higgins, the more competitive matches should be streamed.

Ding v Jimmy and one of the Higgins and Fu matches would have made more sense, and I say this as a Selby fan.

Apparently Hendry thinking of using this Barry Mates Card next season.

Hope to god he doesn't hes finished time to forget these Fossils and get behind younger players.

I had a feeling we would hear something like this, looks like he will indeed return sooner or later. I expect him to play in the 2016 World Championship.

Yes I agree AC, I too will watch Jimmy's match, maybe having an eye Selby's but that one is a foregone conclusion.so too is Jimmy's match but that one at least should be more exciting.

ill probably watch the Ding match too just to see if Jimmy can string anything together.

Good on ya Wild!.


I think deep down our Wild still has a bit of a soft spot for the fossils of snooker.

Beeb

let's get on with it...

ITV started 15 min before play commenced, and that was great.

watching ronnies bbc interview i am 99% sure that he wont play tomorrow. he said that doesnt think that it will improve till tomorrow. should take some weeks to feel any progress. This just sucks

So,here we go,....


Will Ding be "riding a crest of a wave",or will Jimmy sink him!.

Davy Morris's Movember efforts put mine to shame.

congratz jimmy first 50 plus break

and he underhits a simple shot

age catching up

White what a start

Good start from Jimmy

Well done Jimmy,starts with a nice 66 break!.

Fu opens with a century against Lyu Haotian

Morris takes the first against Selby.

Selby needs to be 3-0 down to win. Everybody knows this

Selbs is one o the few players that you often don,t have to worry about even if he goes a few behind,(bar his Oli Lines disaster).

Looks like the Higgins of old has turned up today. Two big breaks to go 2-0 up on Cope.

John Higgins 2-0 Jamie Cope
Ding Junhui 0-1 Jimmy White
Marco Fu 2-0 Lyu Haotion
David Morris 1-0 Mark Selby
Sports Hall
Matthew Stevens 0-2 Gerard Greene
Fraser Patrick 1-1 Ryan Day
Michael Holt 0-1 Dechawat Poomjaeng
David Gilbert 1-1 Mark Joyce

I luv how JV just said,..."there,s more to snooker than pottin balls and breakbuilding",with Hendry sat next to him in the commentary box.

he turns up consistently each event but just cant sustain it round by round.

This frame could be a very long one.
