well to do anything there you have to qualify so if he loses to Dott he wont be improving on that quarter final

Rob Walker did some commentary during the Welsh Open this year, I think it was. It was one of the Open events, at least.
I didn't know who it was at first, but it was decent enough.
Would love Yuelong and Bingtao to both make the Crucible.

Hammad Miah is just an outright diabolical snooker player. Baffling how a guy like him can be a professional.

Lee Walker shouldn't be reaching the Crucible in the year 2017. What a sorry state of affairs.

You can thank Stevens and Hamilton for that.

Squeaky bum time.
I think it was 1997 when we saw 11 'unseeded qualifiers from outside the top 32.
Of those that did, Bradley Jones who won no money the season before took 4th seed John Parrott to a deciding frame in the first round whilst world number 189 Lee Walker who won £275 ended up making the quarter-finals.
And that was when the 17 to 32 seeds had to play one qualifier - I think the Last 48 round of qualifying was also standalone as in none of the 17-32 players were coming up against players who had had 5 or 6 matches before they entered the fray
It was worse in 1994, when 14 of the top 16 qualifiers were outside the top 32. And of the 2 who were inside the top 32, Dene O'Kane was not expected to win as he was playing an up and coming Stephen Lee.
And some of the players who qualified in 1993 (although the qualifiers were played the previous September0 were some of the worst ever. Spencer Dunn, Karl Payne, John Giles, and Shaun Mellish. The latter having a shock win over Ken Doherty.
When Lee Walker made the quarters in 1997 he had to play in the pre qualifiers and was 3-0 down in a best of 9 frame match before winning 5-4. It is surprising that he may qualify for The Crucible 20 years on.

Rod would break the record between appearances if he qualifies (21 years)
If Lawler misses out then Walker will level the record of 13 years should he make it through
