Anyone know how many centuries have been produced so far in this championship? Smashing the record once again?

Am I the only one who reads the blog on worldsnooker?

Wednesday

We’ve had 147s, close finishes, late night drama, great comebacks and 50 centuries - and there’s still six days to go.

Hendry missed a golden opportunity to take some advantage on ROS who is playing as badly as he could (just to mention Steve Davis).

[Wim]

Yes, he effectively threw that part of the match away.

No big harm done, though. 0-0 or 4-4 - Stephen did have a very good run with some excellent snooker played, so he should take that with him when they return tomorrow (at 10 UK time).

Apart of the first frame a lot of misses of hendry - if he takes those last few with him tomorrow O sullivan could have an easy macth

They've done a great job of hiding it away ?

It's on the front page, and has been there every day.

Still think Hendry's got the edge. He's been keeping up the consistency more than Ronnie has, and the next session Stephen's not going to let him get the lead ahead.

Cracking stuff though, as Dennis said: 'I'm loving every ball potted, every ball missed and every safety shot played'. Or something like that.

Can't see the record being broken this year.

Well done, Ronnie, for keeping his head on and not throw the towel at 4-1!:snooker:After such an impressive start for Hendry, too.

[Wim]

[PaulTheSoave]

"He would have missed that on the 2 table situation", (Carters pot riggled in).

How silly can one be?!

Clive Everton - it wasnt a natural angle. had the red went in the cueball wouldnt have. absolute idiot

[cpserrao]

Who's the commentator with the hoarse voice commentating on the Joe -Ali match?
