Do you mean this year or all-time?

Certainly wouldn't be the worst of all time, it would be silly to suggest that.

Of all time. He's got to be up there

Some of Hendry's first round opponents in the early 90s were godawful. Names like Surinder Gill, Danny Fowler etc. Those are a couple off the top of my head. I'm sure there were others even worse.

What has Miah done to suggest he is better than those?

Miah's career is just starting out, give him time. I'm not saying he's a world beater or anything, but to say he would be the worst ever qualifier seems to me to be abit OTT perhaps.

just look at his results this season ...

Craig Steadman was not much of a player either and yet qualified in 2015

so dont give me that same old rubbish every era has had rubbish qualifiers and 2001 no different with Nick Dyson anyone herd of him? or sean Sorey?????? or are you still expecting great things from them????

Hamilton out after a lengthy decider but Tian and Fergal still battling it out.

Anthony Hamilton has had his best ever season winning in Germany BUT it will end in disappointment losing 10-9 to thailands Noppon Saengkham.

Anthony not played at the Crucible since 2008 when he lost to Stephen Maguire 10-3 in the 1st Round

Losing to Maguire in the first round. How embarrassing.

Lost in the quarters to him the year before too

Fergal also in a strong position now 57 points with 67 left

Don't know what you're banging on about here. All I was doing was refuting the suggestion that Hammad Miah would be the worst qualifier ever.

Tian needs a snooker or he's gone.

He gets it

Pink and black left

Pink and black left to decide the game.

snap

This is ridiculous.....

someone pot the the pink ffs!

If I didn't have a day off tomorrow and I wasn't drunk this would feel tedious!

As I write this Fergal wins

Fergal wins

Pity he lost,god,losin 10-9 is horrible,but as you say,he,s had a wonderful season by his standards.





Good win for Fergal,talk about a marathon match,it finished around the 02.30 mark.

No. Malta's Paul Mifsud would get my vote (circa 1984)

Danny Fowler was a solid top 30 pro' for the best part of a decade with some decent scalps on his record. There were far, far worse players to have soiled the Crucible.

Apparently Surinder Gill's highest rank was 97.
