Loving the Chinese crowd with both Ronnie and Ding playing, It's like a panto.

Signs of Ronnie's game being there but in fits and starts.

They're the only two who can draw a crowd and create an atmosphere in Chinese events. Normally, the crowd is dead, those that bother to turn up that is.

Not surprising really. I've seen Ronnie get cheered over Ding in the past by Chinese audiences.

Ding was 1-0 down, leads 3-1.

Trump 3-1 ahead.

And Carter 2-1 ahead, could be 3-1.

yep. since 2012 his lon gpotting has been his strength and not his weakness anymore. remeber one match vs MJW at the Worlds 2008 where it was under 10% after the first session (but still led 5-3)

hahaha yes I know exactly what you mean. Who would they support if they play each other?

MDG I love you, but seriously. I read this thread before checking the scores, anyone would think he was 3 - 0 down the way you post!!! He's actually winning you na-na head!

What were the odds at the begging of the session that this would be the last match to go to MSI..

Carter leads 3-1 v Higgins.
