Pinches v Murphy high scoring frames

[AndrewB]

In two of the last three frames in the Pinches-Murphy match, the total number of points was over 150 - is this unusual?

Unusual, although there has been a few this tournament.

Was it Doherty - Selby that had the 86-85 frame which may be a record?

Correction: it was the 6th and 8th frames.

It was, though the record is 93-92 a long while ago.

Would it be a record for TV stages? I seem to recall it used to be Dale vs Bond on TV with 167-0.

This one still holds the record because it was actually 167-6.

The "lowest frame-losing score" is I think still the 93-92 mentioned above.

I was wondering that about this game. I was actually at the Pinches-Murphy game on Monday night (was anyone else there???) and did notice the particularly high scoring frames (with a lot of fouls in one of them, mainly by Murphy).

Good game to be at - not fantastically high standard but very tense and I thought on balance that Pinches deserved to win.

Do anyone know what match they scored 93-92? which players were involved? I have a feeling that it was in the qualifying stages everything can happen there just look at Jamie Burnett's 148

Not off hand, but I can give you a taste of what might have happened by relaying the World Championship record:

Kirstjan Helgason v. Rod Lawler, 7th qualifying round, 2000 - at Newport.

Helgason needed four snookers (three on the yellow and one on the blue) on his way to levelling the scores at 85-85 on the black. He got the re-spotted black as well to win 92-85.

I believe Dave Harold played (?)Liang Wenbo in the Grand Prix a couple of years ago, during the round-robin stage I think, and he gave away something like 44 points in a single Miss sequence; then made a frame-winning break to win the frame something like 120-56.
