He gets a little bigger every year I think. Funny, this Bulajjang guy looks like skin and bones, it's like Oliver and Hardy.

Tony's in amongs the balls, can he produce a sizeable break?

Or will it be "Another fine mess you've got me in"?

Indeed.

I have to say the safety in this match has been quite good so far, the long potting is OK, a little more cue-ball control and we're almost up to a good amateur level...

Edit: Quickfire 25+ break (yay!) and it's Bulajjang 1-2 Tony

That would be an improvement at least - last time i saw Drago - against Parrot in Malta i think - he was playing at bad amateur level. In fact almost as bad as me and my mate In Rileys.

where do you follow the matches. I have mackenzie-quingtian on eurosport, but the worldsnooker scoreboard doesn't work what's the best alternative?

Bulajjang 2-2 Tony at the interval. Amazing red along the cushion there from Bulajjang.

Drago 5-2 Bulajiang
Dunn 2-4 Yu Delu
Mackenzie 1-3 Qingtian
Judge 1-3 Xiao

Good clearance from Drago in frame 6. Especially considering his dreadfull miss on a middle distance shot on his preceeding visit. Didnt see much of the next frame, but his form looks encouraging from the little i saw.

Yu Delu beats Mike Dunn 5-3 after trailing 2-0. It makes it even more stupid that he didn't get the main tour place and Liu Chuang who frankly looked crap did.

and Xiao Guodong beats Michael Judge 5-2

But Dale seems on very good form today, Liu Chuang not having many chances in this match.

Mackenzie levels the match 4-4, and Eurosport will stop the coverage in 20 minutes or so.

I was almost sure that the Chinese player was going to win this match..i would have put my money on that... hmm... i am havin doubts now .
