Why the hell would they show Ng and not Evans. Ng has no chance against a male player and is very boring to watch. Evans at least goes for more shots and is more likely to make a big break. Terrible decision.

Ng is the current World Ladies champion is she not? :wink:

Yes, I did.

Ng is the current World Ladies champion is she not? :wink:

She's also an extremely defensive player and just plain boring to watch. The fact that she's the world champion tells you all you need to know about the standard of women's snooker. I think Evans is a much better potter, but just gets drawn into safety battles against Ng and sometimes loses.

I may be asking in the wrong section, however I'm wondering if you can predict the dates/tables (1 or 2) for the games. I know the top half is on Table 1 and bottom half on table 2 but any information on the schedule apart from that? Dates and session times?

Thank's for that, you can't help but wish Jimmy all the best it would be great if he could walk out at the Crucible one more time, it won't be easy but he still plays to a very high standard, puts the practice in and loves the game, so anythings possible, good luck to him.

As for the winner Ronnie will take some beating, but Selby back in form just at the right time so no doubt he'll be up for it.

Just imagine the roar if JW walks out in the Crucible

9 hours for a best of 11!!!
I flicked through the match in 5 minutes and it was still boring
Standard looks very poor as well it has to be said, although to be fair I only watched 5 minutes of it.

The only surprise we got so far is Mark Joyce's grim 4:10-defeat against Adam Duffy.
