    And Lisowski often misses his risky pots and gifts his opponent easy chances as well.

    On a positive side it's good to have different kind of players though.

    I really struggle watching, same with Hawkins tbh...

    I do like Jack's cue action and rhythm though (NO innuendos etc intended)

    Maybe the snooker refs are selected from the same pool?
    i would love it if this were true
