you cant completely rule it out if Ronnie got sucked into Kings style of play like Trump did in the English Open. But Ronnies scoring looks allright so should manage to avoid that.

Yes, and what about Joe Perry with his 'rising inflection' at the end of every sentence. Everything statement he makes sounds like a question. I turn the sound down when he's on.
That doesn’t really bother me?
LOL. Good one. I only just got that.

I guess I’m just in the minority of fans who really appreciate his commentary. I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Virgo annoys me with his catchphrases and jokes. But he is far away the best at an underrated commentary quality: building drama.
Nobody closes off a tense frame like he does, or builds up to the next one.
Yep. And try as he might, when Walker attempts to inject drama into a match it all just comes across as false.
I know a comparison between Rob Walker and JV isn’t especially pertinent, but right now it’s hard not to notice what’s gone, and what’s filling the hole.
Walker isn’t even a commentator, let alone a good one.

Zhao just loses too many of the close frames. Higgins wins on the black to take a 3:1 lead.

Higgins needed 3 snookers to win that frame didn«t he?
Cant afford those mistakes against a master tactician like Higgins.

Yep, I think he got a 7 pointer and a 6 pointer.

My fellow Westcountry bumpkin Andy Hicks is 3-1 up against The Spaceman.
If anyone is interested.

Don't worry Ronnie will still win this comfortably. 6-3 probably more likely.

Give him a break. He was probably tired.
