    They really can't shut up for two seconds, can they?

    Not so long ago there was a thread about the BBC commentary and I clearly remember how I said that I prefer the BBC team to Rolf Kalb. With Rolf you can tell he is enthusiastic about the game (he even takes a part in the discussion on the ES forum), but at the same time you can tell he doesn't have such understanding of the game as the pros.
    And I like it when the commentators go into the finer aspects of the game. How one shot played differently can influence further positional play, etc. However, they are OVERKILLING it today.
    Robbo's potting is so good he doesn't need to bother with positional play like the rest of the players. He laughs in the face of those who spend hours on the practice table perfecting their cue ball control! ~ Forman

      First frame for Robertson but many unforced errors from both players.

      I can´t stop thinking that Hendry of the past would have potted that black ball instead of playing safety.

        And it would have been lethal for Robertson to let Hendry in with so many balls open. Now he makes one and snookers himself

          2 corking long pots from Hendry in this second frame! Nice to see as that is one part of his game espeically which he has been struggling with.

            A lot of errors from both players...not the best of matches so far......

              A very relieved stephen hendry has managed to win the 2nd frame with a 28 break, the highest break of the match so far!

                The standard of play can only improve hopefully anyway.

                  It has been a pain to follow. Hendry is constantly being left with nothing after those long pots.

                    Incredible fluke for Hendry....but the question is : what are those two lads doing out there, what are they playing, because im pretty sure its not snooker.

                      Yet long pot success is 100% for both players. Both have made some cracking long ones, but been a little unfortunate with what they come up with afterwards.

                        Finally a decent break from one of the players...2-1 Robbo

                          Nice break of 85 by Robertson. Great long potting by both players so far!

                                It's still 100% success rate for both players in long potting after 4 frames played. Trying a new record here?
