2016 World Championship discussion

Managed 10 minutes with the BBC, the combination of Ebdon and Virgo is like drinking Horlicks and Red bull!

What a start from Mark...just what I was looking for

[streamer45]

Some start from the world N1

[culraven]

Higgins has started well, on top form!

[jonny66]

Is it just me that thinks Sam Baird looks like an angry Ross Noble?

I think he looks like a Hobbit.

Good news! My top 2 players on top form atm...luvverly jubberly

I think he looks like a Hobbit.

I also see something of Joaquin Phoenix in him.

Did Ebdon just repeat what Virgo already said?, or did I dream it?

He did...repeated almost word-for-word what JV said

So you've gone from no commentary to getting it in stereo!lol

Infinitely better, or worse...depending on your pov

[jonny66]

I think Peter Ebdon is still finding his feet as a commentator, hopefully he'll grow into a "less is more" style of commentary.

[jonny66]

Is that Mark Selby's "personal issue" sitting behind him?

[Cov86]

I want the two underdogs to win tonight. I've never been a huge fan of Higgins but I can't really look at him the same way since the 2010 fiasco. Then there is Slugby on the other table. Not helped by the commentator pairing either.

Ebdon.. "Do you want an organic banana smoothie John".

JV.. No, thanks, I'm gonna have a coffee ... Lol
