Delish. From scratch, I hope? The custard I mean. Not that hard really and so worth it.
Yes. Slight miscalculation though, I have no eggs. So making with a tin of coconut milk and cornflour.

Couldn't disagree more. I think Virgo nailed it. Yes, Lisowski largely played a great frame, and he has competed well in every single frame to date, but that doesn't give him permission to not think shots through at key junctures. He could very easily have gone into the MSI with a two-frame lead. Who knows, it could have been 4-0. Just a little bit of extra ringcraft needed.
Nothing at all wrong with criticising Lisowski’s shot but the criticism was overboard. Robbo’s played a lot more loose shots and not received anything like the criticism.

Because we know that, by and large, Robertson generally minds his work, sometimes too much so. Jack has improved hugely in that department, but now he has to kick on. He still annoys me at times.

Imagine somebody won The Crucible by beating Mark Davis, Mark King, Mark Allen, Mark Williams then Mark Selby.
Mark beater.

Jack’s minded his work all evening, though, and Robbo’s only 2-2 through luck as much as anything else.
You can see why his family end up turning the sound off when they watch him.
Jack annoys me too, but this evening hasn’t given much cause for annoyance.

Oh he's been much more mindful than the Jack of old, as he has been all season. But he's still far too prone to throwing in a rash one at crucial points. Much more so than most top players.

Is this the best Last 16 lineup we've ever had at the World Champs?

It's excellent. My balls are heavy with anticipation for Bingham v Jones.

Why don’t players just make their cues 5 inches longer or whatever? So they’re used to it when they need the extra length.
