Yeah I saw that yesterday. From the Ding Dad school of snooker. I'm looking forward to seeing him giving Hendry a tough time :ahh:

He could prove to be a tough test for Hendry he has youth and hunger on his side. But Hendry was winning World Titles before this lad was born. Hopefully Hendry's class will prevail in this match, Hendry needs to not under estimate this lad.

a very exciting talent, not played with Ding at all, as I asked his manager at the EISS - but I think he will turn many heads.....

Unflappable
Dishes up under pressure

and very very small.......

if it wasnt at the crucible i would back him against hendo but i remember backing allen to beat hendo at the crucible and hendo pulled it out of the bag despite allen having hammered him earlier that season at the uk

playing Hendry at the crucible will be on a different plannet than playing thoes 3 at the acadamy....

in shoe box hes at home at the crucible on TV he will be a fish out of water flapping about going nowhere.

Re: Zhanger info

That's if the Crucible means something to him. Some of these players who don't fully appreciate the history aren't overawed until they've been a few times. The arrogance of youth. "What's so special about this place?". Danger signs are there for Hendry. I'm sure he's done his homework and knows Zhang is no mug but if he plays like he did in China then he'll be taken out.

I dunno. :chin:

The way he finished off Ricky Walden was impressive, fearlessness personified I thought. If Zhanger (like it <ok>) takes his chances, & he'll get plenty of them, this could be a bit of a banana skin for the great one.

If.....Ricky Walden had come through, would you be as confident wild if Ricky Walden was playing the great one? :chin:

wrong, he has played in qualifiers and not made much of a fist - but they are best of 9 matches, so can go either way with a bit of luck ......

..... he is at home in longer matches.

Remember when Liu Chuang qualified and I said he would be no push-over for whoever he got....... well he got ROS and was at 4-5 after first session.

Zhanger is ten times the player of Liu Chuang...... and then some. <ok>

GJ - with respect, Allen choked that match very badly - you must agree on that surely......

Zhanger aint a choker, believe me or ask AOP - he dishes up and then does it again......... he does not rush, he stays level headed despite huge slice of luck for Walden ........

Zhanger <cool>

I'm not saying Zhanger will beat him GJ, I'm not saying he'll lose either. What I am saying is that the great one will need to play very, very well to beat Zhanger & if Zhanger takes his chances, the great one will be feeling the pressure. No better Man I know, but this could run real, real close.

JFLT - you know your rubbish, and believe me this guy is impressive.

He may fold like a pack of cards - as many have done on debut at Crucible - but I believe he will get chances and the guy takes them - believe. <ok>
