2016 World Championship discussion

[JimMalone]

I always find it amusing how some people assume that everyone agrees with them. Personally, I'd love Selby to win the tournament (though Ding is playing well and could well win this year). However, just my opinion. I wouldn't dream of assuming that "the rest of you" agree.

I'm with you on this. Selby is one of my favorite players, if not my favorite. I love watching him. Ding (another one of my favorites) vs. him would be my absolute dream final.

Clearly everybody has other favorites. Not only in Snooker, but in every aspects.

Does this year's performance by Ding put him back in the top 16?

Ding picking up where he left off. Another century, amazing stuff.

[Odrl]

Ridiculous start again. :smile:

Five centuries down, three to go to break the record. It could already happen this morning. :wink:

[JimMalone]

Ding missing two pots in a row. Has this ever happened in this game? :wink:

Willie Thorne please stop precommentating on shots.

[daffie]

C'mon Alan put some pressure on the man.

[Erwan_BZH]

The Tartan is back in Sheffield !

[JimMalone]

Now McManus with a century. Good to see he is still alive.

[daffie]

Well done Alan! Keep it up son

[neuronic]

Well... that's a nice start.
Selby and Fu should be ashamed...^^

The Tartan is back in Sheffield !

And he's come to the party! What a start by the pair of them. What's the most centuries in total in a semi final?

Odrl said it already...a total of 8 to break the record.

I think he's now up to number 12.

8 would break Stephen Hendrys record of 7 in a game, which he managed to do in the final of the UK Championship in 1994.

8 was also the number Hendry and O'Sullivan made combined in the 1999 World Championship semifinal. Don't know if there was ever a better number.
