He always used to duck China quite a lot, as well. Even when there was only six ranking events.

You can point to the fact that he's won Chinese events in the past, too. But it's hardly just people jumping to conclusions.

Maybe Ronnie something to do with it? :chin:

But to be fair I wasn't home all day yesterday so couldnt watch it. I'll post more in the afternoon the following days.


In my defence, I was round my parents. So I missed a frame of the Selby game, and then didn't really watch the afternoon apart from the odd changing the channels to see scores.

Not really sure how much of the tournament I'll see until the final, so I'm a bit part-time myself this week.

I wonder what his strike rate is? Prob similar to the UK - he wins 1 in 5 tournaments or similar that he enters. There are just less tournaments in China.

Now - the Ronnie show :)


Bloody hell Dan-Cat, that's only about a mile or so from my flat. Two miles, at most. I've walked it before to see football there.
