2008 Premier League Snooker Discussion Thread

[Rane]

Thanks for the summary, Ellena
I could add that Ding was rather bad in this match and again he was looking like he wasn't interested, also he gave up one of the frames needing just one snooker and having a good opportunity of getting it.

bonoman1970, I suppose it doesn't work for UK ip's because SkySports is broadcasting the event in UK.

Poor boy. If he doesn´t somehow find some interest for the game again, he will be out of top 16 at the end of the season. What I have seen of him this season, he has been so far away from the splendid displays he made two and three seasons ago.

Is the Selby-Davis match over ? Does anyone have the latest/final score ?

[darrus]

6-0 to Selby.

[tallguy]

6-0 to Selby.

Thanks Darrus. Looks like a night of whitewashes. Ding must be really low on confidence and drive if he gave up a frame needing just one snooker !

Wow - two whitewashes in 2 matches today. It was good stuff from O'Sullivan today, Ding virtually had no chance whatsoever. It was a different story with Davis, however. Davis had a few chances and when he could clinch the frame, he didn't deliver. That first frame must have taken a lot out of him.

What happened in the first frame ?

Indeed, his splendid displays are just a nice remembrance these days. I can understand they cant play at same (high) level all the time , they all have bad periods, what worries me at Ding is his lack of interest , lately he looks like he doesnt want to be there - in a tournament - , no enthusiasm at all. He looks down and bored , discouraged and tired and bit 'absent' , and cant focus properly, makes mistakes and frustration gets to him..so he messes up the whole match. It saddens me all that.
Hope he will get himself together, fight back his demons, and bring back at the table the old Ding with his confidence and determination..playing that great snooker he got us used to.:snooker:

not on bet365.com schedule

[darrus]

I don't see it on betfair or bet365 - maybe it'll appear as soon as matches start? What about justin.tv - is there a stream?
