Come on Mark

It would be nice to see Mavis win at last but I suspect Bingham will win.

Really hope Dark Mavis wins.

What a time to be alive

Bingham favourite with bookmakers.
Davis favourite with fans.

Hopefully all the Ronnie fans will still be posting and supporting their favourite player in the final.

One thing Stuart Bingham is not lacking is the killer instincts amongs the balls. I watched that Mags vs Bingo yesterday, and Stuart was right bang on it straight away when needed to cannon the problem balls! And he got those almost all of those cannons absolutely spot on. I haven´t been noticing any other would have a killer instinct like that. To me he even looks quite scarely. His safety was top notch, missed a few easy balls among the balls but Stephen also did that, so no surprise at all when Stuart sailed through. Maguire´s break-building ideas were really, really great and top-notch as he was really carefull to round up the cue ball really surely and with a millimetres to spare. I thought Stephen lost the match when he missed a few sitters and his safety was rather poor.

But couldn´t had thinking that it could had been Judd Trump or Mark Selby, for example, also to play the standards they did. Or perhaps even better. Always just a matter of form, confidence, momentums, motivation, freshness and so on. Stuart Bingham looked quite BAD but he has that magic killer instincts also.. And so a very well deserved semi-final victory to him. He certainly fits the bill of producing that magic-snooker everyone are always expecting to see and to wittnes. To bang the problem balls immeaditely with a first shot when getting in to even make that 40 frame winning brake. Solid enough also when it matters for sure also.

But can Mark Davis outplay him too as he obviously outplayed Ronnie O´Sullivan quite nasty? Mark Davis´ certainly calmer lad, and that can be the key to be able to outplay Stuart Bingham.

That doesnt make any sense does it? My favourite player lost yesterday.

However, I want Mavis to win the title like Hamilton and King did.

Am I right this is a record for average age of the finalists?

What was The Crucible finalist average age?

Something like 43 and a month. This one's over 44. I think this even beats the 1975 World final between Reardon and Charlton.

Mark Davis - the fourth greatest snooker player of all time called Davis.

He's being passive-aggressive again...

Really don’t care who wins this tbh
