Make that 2-0 down.

I'd like to see him do well too - although I like Hull.

Yes, but it's Chinese, and I think you have to use a PC to access it

Certainly a different approach to commentary than that favoured by Dennis and JV.

The approach, while novel, does not guarantee quality. I could play pocket billiards better than her (notice my highest break).

That may be true, but you don't necessarily need to be a good player to be a good commentator.
I wonder if she thinks giving a wildcard to someone as morally bankrupt as she feels White to be sends out a bad message from World Snooker.

On a serious note. Jones equalizes 1-1. White has a 30 point lead in the next.

With Eurosport taking over the streaming, I always wondered how do the Chinese watch? Is it an official streaming site? (There's James Blunt singing now)

They have their own stream websites like the one that I just gave, and watch online. Sometimes you can see snooker on TV, but not much.

Just read in Snooker Scene that World Snooker are close to signing up a more official Chinese streaming service.

Of course they are illegal, if you consider how much the Chinese pirate things.

Justifying his wildcard, beating a reigning 'world champion'.

Sigh.
