2019 World Snooker Championship

She needs to learn from Hazel. She really convinces that she knows something about the game. Maybe she does, it doesn't matter, she's just very professional.

[Billy]

These 'trendy' new presenters are terrible. I keep expecting the girl doing this morning's session to start clapping her hands excitedly and say, "I really like this game... what's it called again?"

I think Ken feels the same, too. He's talking to her like they're doing a piece on Blue Peter.

[DeanH]

ah well never mind...


Crucible's Maximums still stands at 10

[Odrl]

Nice start for Zhou Yuelong. :smile:

[DeanH]

Okay, Rob Walker and his stupid introductions are absent today, ...

he is commentating on the London Marathon, which obviously pays more :wink:
probably back tomorrow - just for you

... so we'll see if Carter is in a better mood. :smile:

I love your optimism

robertson has higgins in quaterfinal, so not easy.

Table punching featuring a bit more, Selby & Higgins !!! I feel Carter may do a headbutt at some point.

[cueman]

I feel the same, this is Robertson's to lose I think. Whether the pressure comes on to him now who knows but he must feel like he'll never get a better chance to add a 2nd title.

I cannot see anyone else in the other half of the draw playing well enough to win it. Gary Wilson looks by far the strongest in that section, if I were a betting man I'd back him to reach the final and play Robertson.

[Pot Shot]

I can't see past Robertson myself.

[gmg]

In 35 year of watching I can't remember a Championship where I've had nobody left to cheer at such an early stage following today's eliminations of Selby, Williams and Cahill. Don't mind if Robertson or Zhou Yuelong win but it would be a sort of begrudging acceptance for anyone else. A Robertson v Trump final looks a good bet now but surely just about everyone left must be thinking they're in with a shout, especially the likes of Barry Hawkins and Kyren Wilson.

At least Ding kinda saved the session. After his horrible start it's fine he trails only 3-5.

Yeah, horrible result for Trump that. Ding was useless until that final little gift in the penultimate frame, it was looking like it would go 7-1 at one point.

[Long Butt]

Well Dave, but watching Trump, he should be at least 7-1 in front. Missing too many chances, may regret that if Ding begins to play how he can.

He looked quite happy when he left the arena. If they don´t raise their game, I got difficulties seeing any of them winning the title.
