Looks like the tartan trousers are doing the trick. 9 - 5 now.

I notice Ding is not having the cue ball cleaned every other shot, was that done just to throw Trump off ?

[P.Smith]

And that was 8 centuries with at least 8 more frames to come.

I thought it was only 7 at this point?

Two for MacManus, six for Ding.

I think you´re right. Has Din "only" made one today ?

[billabong]

I think McManus is in from a stern talking to from Willie Thorn after this frame .

Seems to have played the wrong shot all the time.

As he will constantly remind us now. . . . . .

Oh Alan what have you done

Edit ... pheww

Ding has only scored five iirc. Could be wrong though.

Edit: From what i can remember, ding got 4 tons in the 1st session. He has won 3 frames in this session, with one century plus breaks of 97 and 94, so only 5 centuries.

7-9...what a great result in this 2nd session from Alan! And a great session of snooker.

8 centuries in 16 frames...fantastic stuff.

Just incredible, an honour to watch it. AM must be buzzing.

[neuronic]

Finalworthy stuff. Amazing.

7-9...what a great result in this 2nd session from Alan! And a great session of snooker. Fantastic stuff.

Must admit, I never saw this coming, I thought Ding might win with a session to spare. Well done Alan, game on!

A fantastic session of snooker. They only needed half the match to tie the record, and surely there will be at least one more century to break it now. :smile:

It will be interesting to see how Ding responds to this, because McManus really has put the pressure on in the last four frames. I think Ding might end up regretting that poor shot on the last red, when he looked a certainty to clear up for 10-5. Or perhaps not, it could be forgotten pretty quickly if he starts the evening session as well as he did the first two. Looking forward to it. :smile:

[P.Smith]

The overall record in a game of course is 11. In the aforementioned 1994 UK Championship final. While Hendry made 7, Ken Doherty who lost 5-10 made 4 himself.

This post has confused me. According to cuetracker ken didn't score any centuries in that match.

what the hell happend down there? I left for lunch at the mid session only to come back now and see 9-7 ! Such a comeback from Alan !
