5-4 in a blink of an eye from 5-1 down, with a century too.

Not the first time Thep’s played the Williams underarm shot.
Someone should tell Dennis next time he says, “Mark’s* the only player who can play that type of shot.”

That is likely, we rarely see such big comebacks.

He invented it and was the first to do it, just like ROS was the first to play with his opposite hand, and now players like Trump do it on a regular basis too.

this would be the fourth time this season where Bingham bottles a match. Its not just the Selby match. He was also playing well against Li Hang and Trump and took a 3:1 lead before he couldnt pot a ball and end up losing 4:3.

Dennis Taylor played left-handed shots in the 80s, in preference to using the rest.
But RO'S, I believe, is the first to make century breaks with either (or sometimes alternating) hands

I always wondered why they cant show live snooker on BBC 3 or BBC 4 like ITV does.
This way the school programme wouldnt get in the way.

I just remembered this now. They should do it when their main channels cant.

If Bingham was to win a second World title would you put him above Robertson in the All-Time Great list?

You’d probably have to, I suppose.
He won’t, though.

Hum good question.
Probably yeah, especially considering he'd do it in his 40s. I doubt he can do it, more likely he'll win the UK Champs and win the 3 TC events.

He won’t, though.
It'd be interesting if the likes of Johnson,Dott or Bingham would have won a second World title. Even though Bingham obviously won a few other titles as well including a Masters.
But I'd like to see someone win more than 1 World title and barely do anything else.

They're discussing Lisowski and Thepp's.
I think everyone would agree Jack is better than Thepp's, at least he's more consistent.

They did, you're right; evening sessions only, though. For some reason, BBC4 starts at 7PM, and shuts down around midnight. always has done and this seems to be set in stone, and unchangeable.
