Ronnie and Hendry are the greatest breakbuilders of all time. Higgins and Ding still a tad behind.

Ronnie and Hendry are/were more clinical at their best.

Ding though might be the best in terms of cue ball control. Alongside Steve Davis. always close to the object ball.

Why, what happened in 1985??

Stupid phrase

Did Ding play that 147 attempt too well?

I prefer to watch a complete match whenever possible. We always complain about matches being too short. So I like to take full advantage of matches being multi-session when I can.

That's true.I watched the first session of Bingham v Wilson so i'll watch the rest of game as it's a good contest.

Job to airport shortly so will miss most of mornings snooker.Back for the Rocket and there will be no work done while the genius is at work.

CARELESS!

Yep. If you over screw too far you've hit it wrong, that's the end of it.

He's right. That red was never in.

2-0 Ding.

It's obvious. I've seen a couple of those already this year.

Good to see the commentators, or Hendry anyway, being vocal about it.

IMO Hendry is the best commentator the BBC have and nice to see him actually having the guts to tell the truth about the pockets. Normally we just get the Sesame Street reply that "they are much tighter than club tables".

Hendry is swings and roundabouts to me. When he's trying, he's a very good commentator.

Some occasions he just sounds like he's phoning it on, or sulking though.

Holden Chinaski wrote:Ding looking good. For me, when Ding is playing his best he's as good to watch as Ronnie playing his best. Superb controll of the cue ball, great shot selection, brilliant break building. He has his six maximum breaks to prove how great of a break builder he is...

+1

WHere's MGD?

I like his posts now, very reasonable and accurate, unlike the old MDG lol...

I'm sure he's happy with Ronnie's performance so far.

Well done BBC.

SnookerFan wrote:Well done BBC.

yeah I'm seeing it too

Hendry by far the best commentator for me. always honest, speaks out what he thinks. doesnt like safety battles and enjoys big breaks and attacking Snooker.

And as a 7 time world champion he comes across like the god. the things he says have far more weight than what someone like old senile Dennis Taylor says.

Absolute joke the BBC!

Jason.

What did the BBC do? (eurosport here)

They are sometimes, on ITV 4.
