A bit? Just imagine the tsunami of insults Ebdon would have received if it was him instead of Ding taking that time. The ref should have given Ding a warning.

It was only one shot and he was in a difficult position. He's not doing it on every shot and he's not doing it on easy shots. It was a bit too long but not like Ebdon or Selby sometimes slowing the game down on every shot.


Still, 5 minutes on a single shot is unreal. Not to mention how many times Ding is asking the ref to clean the ball in every single frame, just to gain more time to prepare for the next shot.

He does it in everywhere mate, make no mistake about. There's tons of videos on youtube to confirm that and it is widely known amongst the players.

The refs need more specific guidance, there needs to be a specific set of time limits for a single shot, maybe four minutes. Then if you go over four minutes a friendly warning, if you go over five minutes a formal warning. and over six minutes you forfeit the frame.
