Masters Snooker at the Ally Pally has started, & Steve David called this "the most amazing shot in the history of snooker". That's a bit strong, but it's a pretty amazing & very unusual double fluke. (Double fluke, not to be confused with fluke double). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/snooker/51098509 |

Lisowski was very disappointing - his B-game will never be good enough with that standard of safety-play at the top level.
I chalked my new tip again last night Tom so if you're up for a game next week let me know.

Well I'm definitely feeling better now Ralph so I will check my diary and see if I have a spare afternoon.
BTW- That bimbo who was presenting this afternoon's match does my head in.
"Do you think he'll be trying to do a cue action today Steve?"

Unfortunately I missed her - just caught the post-interval* games as I was busy golfing, it was a lovely afternoon out of the icy wind. *I love the word "interval" as it was my first and only ever triple-triple-bingo at scrabble - I wonder if it's rarer than a hole-in-one at golf. Calling Tal! |

I am struggling to recall seeing as many in-offs in a single frame as there have been in Frame 5 of this Carter-Higgins affair, & there are still 9 reds on the table.

Is this a 2 day game? Might not be done before 2am at this rate.

I thought the Higgins Cater match was great viewing, but then I think there's much more drama in a scrappy match than there is in a one visit per frame match.

BTW - We need VAR in snooker these days for decisions like that yellow that Carter missed.

Yes, not enjoyed a match so much in a very long time, I watched every second of it. As it happens I run a daily sports results competition every day Next Door & the Carter Higgins match was the subject last night, so it all worked out rather well despite the fact I don't generally enjoy watching Higgins. We are doing Kyren Wilson v Stu Bingham tonight, if that's half as good I'll be happy. |

I was a little surprised at that, I'm fairly sure he never hit the yellow. |

I like Ali despite his prickly exterior.
I think he thought he hit it.

Yes, I genuinely think he thought he hit it. With cameras everywhere, it'd be pretty dumb to claim he hit it if he did not think he did. I'm a big fan of him needless to say. First he had testicular cancer, which he beat, then lung cancer, ditto, & he's a permanent sufferer with Crohn's Disease. Fair to say he's seen a few challenges along the road.  |
