Rightfully so, it was only a matter of months ago, Selby knows that was going to almost guarantee a 4th world title. It hasn't really affected his game though, he's too strong mentally.

I think it’s affected his game. In that it’s motivated him to get back to his best.

Rule changed in 2019, so you do have to strike the nominated free ball first. In case of a red, you can even pot the nominated colour and red on the same stroke.

So, they decided to wait until The Home Nations was invented before honouring the late Paul Hunter.

Understood.

I was commenting on the line of commentary from Studd, where Hearn said it took too long for them to change the name and it should've happened years previously.

I just wondered why it took too long.
