Both smashing blokes and great pro’s but this is probably the least attractive of all the first round matches IMO.

Preferred it under team captains Henry Cooper, Ian Botham, Emlyn Hughes and Bill Beaumont.

I must be weird somehow because this match looks very interesting to me.
I'm aware that people get fed up of the Kyren the worker meme that gets repeated ad nauseum, it bores me silly too, but I still find Kyren's style of play to be very watchable.
Sure, his AST might be marginally slower than a people's champion type of player, but he plays good direct snooker that very rarely gets bogged down in three minute shot decisions and so, when that does happen, it's likely a situation that really really needs it.
I'd take Kyren over Pythagorus Robbo, CBA Sullivan, off-form Judd and all the etc. When Kyren's off-form it doesn't really change the match much, his matches are usually either him getting big break relatively quickly or the other guy getting a big break relatively quickly. Regardless of AST.
Bingham is also another primarily attacking player who likes to either get the job done or go home. So, to me, this match has a lot more appeal than many other first round matches.

Take your point, LDS. A point very well pointed out.

Kyren misses on 57. That was a careless miss. There are a few safe reds though so it would be some effort for Bingham to clinch the frame at this visit.

Nor mine. But you never know, could turn into a good one.
Bingham looks in decent stroke.

I'm watching on Eurosport. McManus and Hendon commentating. Is anyone watching on BBC?
