This Selby/Wilson stalemate has been fun, in a sadistic sort of way , it's like Kerplunk Pink

Kerplink!

Johnson on Eurosport was convinced Scullion would still force the re-rack, but I got the impression he considered the stalemate to have been resolved.

Mark Allen's doing great as a pundit commentating IMHO. So cool he does that whilst still in the tournament.

Marvellous start from Higgins. But I'm pretty sure Kyren will give him quite a fight over the course of this match... really looking forward to this one.

I was just about to say the same…on both.

[Cue crafty]

Higgins cueing beautifully, you can hear the strike sounding crisp! Hope it's a good battle between these two today, Kyren needs to chime in with a couple of one visit frames now and open his account.

Gotta to said that Kyrens safety and snooker attempts have been woeful so far!

[neuronic]

Panic time. Kyren needs to win the next three frames, I'd say, two at least.

[JimMalone]

Well, I had rather high hopes for a good match between Allen and Bingham. 13-4.
I had slight hopes for a good match between McGill and Lisowski. 7-1.
And I had definitely high hopes for a great encounter between Higgins and Wilson. 8-0.

What a disappointing round.

[Starsky]

I haven’t watched any of the Higgins v Wilson match .
Is it a case of Higgins has just steamrolled Wilson from the off or has Wilson missed easy chances at the beginning of frames ?

[itsnoteasy]

Bit of both Starsky, Kyren has had chances but Higgins has severely punished every mistake and scored really well on his own chances

Thanks INE.

I can see by his breaks Higgins has severely punished Wilson.

I kept hearing Higgins had been playing well , I should have had a punt at the beginning of the tournament. 😖

Stupid quote thing.
They said in the break that Higgins was saying he was playing well, he's not really the type to say that unless his game is in tip top shape, so he means it.

Weird , the quoting works for me 🤔.

Personally I’d like to see a first time winner this year with Brecel or Si but would favour Higgins if that wasn’t to be .

What was your take on Neil's performance this year Starsky? Hugely disappointing and I can't really work out what is going wrong. I expect Jack to do this but Neil is a big time winner. 🤔

[itsnoteasy]

I'd love Si to win it, can't see it but it would be fantastic if he did. The lad that coached him in the academy in China I think is an English lad, in fact he coached three of the Chinese debutants. He's on Facebook, he's got some talented eight year old, who's winning open comps, coming through as well.

It's like watching 9 ball pool. Aramith balls and corner buckets . Hard to believe this is the world championship.
