Or maybe snooker parity is such that even 17 frames doesn't truly determine the better player. Thoughts?....its not called potting its called snooker. Quote: WildJONESEYE

And Chuang is a young and promishing really tough player in the longer matches, I wouldn´t be too surprised to see him in top 16 within a few years. In 2008 he qualified for the cruicible, so these wins don´t come totally unexpected.

:snooker:Originally Posted by snookerpoolman View PostWattana is without doubt the best far eastern player of old - 147 in 1992 - regular top 16 player for many years - solid cue action - fantastic long potter.... Just great to watch... Sorely missed by myself and many other fans from the snooker hay days... He was the fore-runner to Fu - Ding - Wenbo etc. and a real hero in his own land. Would love to see him on a televised match first time for so long... Hope so... Come back James and play like you really can....
He qualified for one tournament last year - not done much so far this season, but didn't play in all the PTCs and he has made a decent start in the match vs Gould 2-1 up and in the balls 14-12 up in 4th frame.And now out of the balls, but looks like he may have played a safety as Gould didn't score straightaway
