He will not waste this form. He will be too streetwise for Wilson, and I don't think the others can beat him over 33 frames.
He's been going in and out of form non-stop, match in, match out, for the last six years; he's incredibly inconsistent. As for nobody being able to beat him over 33 frames, I don't know where you're getting that from. He hasn't been the best player in the world for six years now. If anything, the longer the match, the more chance of him being found out.
Nobody has beaten him over 33 frames or more for 16 years
Nobody has beaten Joe Johnson over 35 frames since 1987.

Fouldsy for me is as close as it gets to clive

I find Ebdon very insightful

Ebdon at least tries to analyse the game from what I've seen and heard. Unlike Hendry who just seems to moan for the sake of moaning.

Thrones a bit of a rebel too but likes of Taylor, Doherty, Parrotf really have to go. Zzzz

As a pundit, he's fine, but comms is eh. His critical-for-critical's-sake novelty has worn off, and for me it's just dull now.
With regards BBC comms:
Good tier: Kendo (I like how personable he is, and he at least tries to help the viewer with using lines to explain his shots), Virgo (hated him at first, but he appreciates the safety aspect of the game, and isn't a century hussy).
Alright tier: Hendry, Dominic Dale.
Trash tier: Taylor, Parrott, Davis, Thorne. Tempted to put Ebdon here too.

And Eurosport really should do the same with Joe Johnson
Both so out of touch

Thoughts on an alternative Snooker commentary team of Lee and Hann?
It'd be intriguing to hear these guys tell it as it is with no loyalty to WS or any players.
