2014 World Championship - Discussion

[DeanH]

At least it wobbled a bit, there have been some tables over the last couple of seasons where a red like that would have gone in easily.

I just don't expect any consistency with the tables anymore. They vary dramatically from tournament to tournament, and sometimes even from one day to another. I thought the TV table in the Welsh Open was the best this year. No nonsense all week. :smile:

oh I don't know, there were a few times when players rubbed the black cushion near the pockets, due to a few players having odd (to them anyway) reactions to cushion shots

[gavpowell]

I thought Davis was joking?

[DeanH]

I thought Davis was joking?

I thought it was like the saying when a player is playing very well "the pockets seem like buckets..."

Yeah, I forgot about that. Possibly because it seems like it's a constant problem in all tournaments these days. :smile:

So, Wasley continuing to play well, although he could have easily lost that frame from 57-0 up. Will Ding be another seed who puts himself under pressure with a slow start?

I definitely don't think he was joking cause just after he said he thought those pockets were way too generous for a World Championship table.....

[Dr_Doctor]

Looks like Ding will have to play his best to beat this Wasley guy.

[CRiZZ76]

Can't find Carter-Xiao at the moment, all 4 streams show ding-wasley, anybody else having success?

[scottley]

Ali Carter has just played the shot of the tournament so far, bosch!

[spike]

I'm switching between both matches, but slightly favouring Carter/Xiao as the match is nicely poised, and may go the distance..

[Erwan_BZH]

That gigantic screwshot from Carter was just unbelievable......Wow!

[Odrl]

That was a strong frame from Carter at the right time. He got a couple of great pots, struggled to score at first, but made a good break in the end. Still in front as we enter the business end of the match now. :smile:

Why does the beeb start coverage this evening at 9? Very poor if you ask me. I wanted to watch the Cope Murphy match. :-(

[cyberheater]

Ding looks well hacked off. They both do.

[seppo147]

How stupid Snooker wasley can play, i wish him to win but that kind of Snooker brains cant do it.

[dieselman147]

Good job ding isnt playing a top player yet he'd be out this world championship already if he was!
