Wow.

That's proper snooker.


Average of 48 minutes a frame. Great stuff!

Milkins seems like a nice guy. But he annoys me because he always plays complete garbage against O'Sullivan and plays well against players who you would like to have in a tournament. Often he will beat a player who could beat O'Sullivan and then collapse in a heap at the mention of O'Sullivan's name being introduced to the crowd.

If this tournament was in intensive care at the start of today's play, then the Slessor vs Yuan match killed it off for good. I saw about 30 minutes of it and if these guys aren't 2 of the most boring players on tour then snooker is in trouble. That match should be sold on DVD if only to help insomniacs.

Ronnie's always turning into a wise man in the studio and talking a lot of sense when he does his punditry. He's right. If Bingtao wants to dominate the game and become a special player he has to win tournaments now. At 17. Not in three ,four or five years. If he's good enough he can do it now.
