is it me or are both players playing deliberately slow this frame? ref should have a word really, fans look bored stiff.

This is how Selby operates. He sucks people into a marathon slug fest and bores everyone to death. I mean I can understand sometimes there is a tough shot but this guy is regularly spending 1 min 30 seconds to play straight forward safety shots.

Ding still looks very twitchy to me, but I think he realises the importance of winning these sessions 3-1 in order to get back into the match for tomorrow.

Fantastic frame for Ding to pinch! 5-7 now...awesome. Shows you what these longer-frame matches are all about

:snooker:

What a fantastic clearance that was from Ding. He's made some great breaks in this tournament, but probably not many better than this one. :smile:

[neuronic]

Finally a real fight...

[islandfox]

Glad to see Ding is getting into his rhythm. That's 5 out of the last 6 frames now.

I would so dearly love to see Ding win the final this year....it's been a (very) long time coming and he's such a sweet and unasuming guy.

If he does...we can be certain he will cry (and that would be lovely).

Think Selby is going to dial it up to 9 after the break.

Well done Ding. Anybody's overnight lead now.

Walk 3* round table? *CHECK*
Grimace and look up to the audience? *CHECK*
Put hand to face and then fold arms? *CHECK*
Play regulation clip off the pack to baulk? *CHECK*

This is level-9

Think Selby is going to dial it up to 9 after the break.

I just bought Virtual Pool 4. The snooker on that game is so good - proper sim, is it.

I switched over to Eurosport briefly so missed the answer to the cuei quiz. Was the answer 'kicks' by any chance?
