Depends what happens when they set up the one table but these pockets are big enough for Trump to win on.

It was odd. He screwed the white into the middle pocket. I can't see how he could have played that shot that way and not go in. Odd.

It was the final black in the Xiao vs Carter frame. The black was near the middle pocket and Carter managed to pocket the white into the middle pocket off the black. He looked like he screwed it in.

sorry but what time is the incident?

At the end of frame 8. (Not in the video.)

I wouldnt count Maguire or Murphy out even tho both
trail their series. Carter did miss a few simple pots with
the rest and without it as did Xiao miss a few he usually
pots.
Sunday will be interesting I am sure.

Hoping the rumours of match fixing are not true! Alot of people talking at the crucible this evening.

Care to elaborate? Who or which match we talking about?

Is this shot under suspicion then? Granted, i've only seen it once earlier but no way he could have played to screw that in the middle on purpose?

It's not a standard billiard shot but a decent billiard player would get it more often than not. Carter certainly didn't play it.

[scottley]

Fair enough, it looked a pretty acute angle, and Ali certainly had a good old stare at it after. I'm more interested in this match fixing post, who? What? Or where?
