Yup. Really shouldn't have had the chance to clear though.

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNG
Yes I really hope Ding proves me dead wrong, nothing would please me moew at the moment
If Higgins keeps missing those, Ding as we have seen will punish him,those 2 frame losses definately hurt Higgins, but if he can level the match I rate Higgins favourite again.

What if Jimmy beat Selby?
Stranger upsets have happened, but I really can't see that happening.

Jimmy misses frame ball. Few awkward balls though...

Jamie O'Neill 3-0 up on King.
Amazing. Never been past the last 64 before this week and has a decent chance to get into the quarters.

Typical Higgins, after 2 nil down levels at 2 all
I rate Higgins favourite again, but this match may well be decided on the decider.

How can you be too bad to be a journeyman?

Good steal from Selby, especially considering where most of the reds were when Jimmy first missed.

That's a good point actually.
His performance timeline says it all:

I actually agree with Wild on this one. A journeyman isn't the same thing as somebody who isn't good enough to be on the tour. A journeyman is somebody who is good enough to play at a professional level, but generally only just does enough to stay a professional. A journeyman may occasionally have a run at a tournament, but at the same time rarely qualifies.
If you're not good enough to even get on the tour, you're not good enough to be a journeyman.

Jimmy missed that golden chance to level at 2 all, now may well find himself 4-1 down and no way back for him.

Good though it was to see Jimmy on our television screens again, beating Selby always looked likely to be a step too far.

Unlucky foul there from Ding. Looked like he was going to pull away again.

Yeah but had he made it 2 all it could have been a more balanced match and you never know, stranger upsets have happened.
But now 4-1 just a question if Jimmy can win at least 1 or 2 more frames before getting beaten.

4-2. Looks like Higgins'll need a comeback to win.
