Remember all the luck Judd got against Ding. He didn't bite. If you do that, you're out the zone and the balls are controlling you, not the other way around. It's about being positive. Negativity and resentment doesn't solve the problems on the table, it only raises the angry chimp to the surface. Snooker is played with the rational brain, not the chimp. Ronnie learnt that the hard way.

No Willie, the worst session of Selby's life was against Jamie Jones at the UK. One of the biggest chokes in the recent times from Jones, but it's a testament to everything that makes Selby, Selby -- just sticks in there.

Agree.

If I was his opponent, seeing someone getting frustrated like that would give me massive encouragement.

He's played far, far worse. And usually ends losing match then.

I remember a match against Perry where Selby's highest break was 9. 9!

Did he win that one?

I felt a bit nervous before the second session, and now I know why. It seemed to be more about who would miss less balls than who would pot more. Stupid tense last frame.
And who was that woman that made that loud yelp when Kyren fluked the red? My god, woman, calm down!

Anyway, I can still catch the last half hour of The Godfather. Good way to calm my nerves.

Yeah, Wilson should have made the most of that and at the very least win tne session 5-3 and be only 9-7 behind.

Selby would have to really choke it from here in order to lose this match.

So how many frames to zero does Ding have to win in the semi to get the unanswered frames record? Wonder what the odds would be Alex?


Think the record is something like 38 which Stephen Lee did over a number of matches in qualifying once. The record in one match is 13

As in how many frames in a row Ding needs?

13 record in a match.
16 record in an individual year at the Worlds.
19 record overall at the World, spread over two years.

When? I remember Ebdon was nonstop talking about Ding's ballrun in the 2nd session.

Ebdon, still in his commentators nappy? Nah, Dom Dale for me, who was right, JT relies on luck, bash and crash and see what happens. There's a lack of consideration in the way he plays sometimes. Contrast that with Ding's engineer approach to break-building.

Is Ding on 8 now? So he can't break record 1 obviously, but can break record two by going 6-0 in his semi (very unlikely I know)?

Sorry mate, I've lost track tonight, that's whisky for you. Stick to vodka.

Ding should be on 3 as MJW closed to 10-3? So would need 13-0. Unless you're talking about something else?

I'll probably be heavily criticised for this, but I think all of the BBC commentators I heard today were somewhere between decent and very good. Probably liked Griffiths (?) the best, partly for his wonderful accent. I don't understand why Hendry has to whisper all the time though. It is as if he were standing right next to the table and didn't want to disturb the players.

Great beer in Sheffield; terrible coffee.

[i]Just a reminder - no amendments once predictions have been sent in. The only changes I'll allow is if you've not submitted a scoreline e.g. are predicting the scoreline as 13-13 etc - This is to stop people changing scorelines to suit or consolodate their position in the contest e.g. someone who is leading changing their predictions to mirror second place for example.

Ding is my second current fave anyway. Balletic play from the Ronnie school of break building. Are we all on the naughty step for being cross with Barry earlier? Hehe


I'm in a minority, I'm glad Fu is putting him away, he stole that match off Ronnie by every stat there is. Fu v. Ding is a dream final for WS, a Chinese champion lights the touch paper for a hell of a fireworks show. :mosh2:

But yeah, Ding, ballet with a soundtrack of poetry. Beautiful snooker. The real game and we're being spoiled with two successive nights of top class stuff.

...any grudging admiration for Hawkins has officially gone! <laugh>
Now, it's being labelled a 'steal'! This wasn't a first-to-4-frames sprint! How can a player steal a best-of-25 frames match? :shrug:
