Re: Judd World Number One

The odds seem in his favor of staying there for a while.

His closest competitors are Ronnie (who isn't likely to play much, and when he does play will probably play non-ranking events or Home Nations events with low levels of Ranking Points to offer) and Mark Williams (who almost certainly won't be as successful as Judd this season), and he's roughly 320,000 points ahead of Neil Robertson.

I think you are probably right but nothing is certain with Judd. Fascinating to see if Judd can maintain his late season form.

Agreed. If he keeps up this level of focus and his brother sticks around. He's unlikely to go anywhere though - what a great life!

Im yet to be convinced by Judd as the top dog he goes in and out of form at will and goes walk about often during a season when hes Good hes very good But when hes Bad he can miss balls by so far you cant really work out which pocket he played to pot it.

It takes a special type of player to be comfterble being the Best and its much harder tha you think Judd has never been good at that he much prefers to be the underdog.

I agree with this generally, but he was favourite against Higgins in the biggest match on the tour and flourished. With the WC monkey off his back he could well continue in the same vain.

But in his mind he wasent fave vs Higgins he had lost the previous 9 matches dating back to october 2016 almost as long ago as the bloody referendum.

Even at his worst he´s a top, top player. Well not the top-5 as Wild pointed out, but something really CLOSE to be just that.

So he´s like, like, like... Sri Lanka or India. Just can´t be quiet when not at his best but yet absolutely never ever any pathetic or HOPELESS. No, no.

The flavours of Sri Lanka.

Hoppers.
Are bowl-shaped pancakes eaten by breakfast or dinner. Fillings may include eggs, yogurt or honey.

Rice and Curry
The dish of "rice and curry" in Sri Lanka is rarely, if ever, as simple as its name might suggest. A veritable banquet comprising a large platter of rice surrounded by a number of smaller dishes made from vegetables, meat or fish and accompanied by chutneys, a sambol and poppadoms. Sometimes served in clay pots. The smaller rice and curry dishes showcase the island´s spices and will usually comprise such items as fish curry, curried okra or chili potatoes. A popular relish is pol sambol, made from grated coconut, chilli and salty shredded Maldive fish (cured and dried tuna). Which has quite a kick to it.

Ambul Thiyal,
a dry and sour fish curry, flavoured with many spices.

We all should appreciate the food. Just try to get rid out of the things of which doing doesn´t make any sense. You all know what that could be then. +40 and "going overally strong" just doesn´t ring any bell. But the dishes and the food always makes sense!
