His potting was awesome (obviously) but his positional play was a bit off in places. But still great break
That shot where he went through the pack with loads of top spin was awesome aswell
You play a long slow deadweight red to a corner pocket. As it approaches the pocket, a kamikaze woodlouse crawls out from under the cushion and makes its way across the table, conflicting with the path of the red precisely at the point the red gets there. The red, needless to say, veers off course, and the future of the woodlouse is uncertain. - The Statman
Ronnie set out to make a fast 147. Did he have a bet with someone? I don’t know the full story. So no one, even Ronnie himself, will come close to that record in normal match play.
One thing special about Ding’s 147 is that it came from nowhere. Most 147s I have seen started off from easy openings with reds spreading nicely already. Ding had to make it happen from a long pot with a tight pack.
I saw Ding's maximum on the highlights last night. Fantastic. The reds weren't ideal and he had to work hard for it. I'm surprised commentry didn't even mention a maximum posibility until something like the 11th black had gone down. If it was Hendry or Higgins they would have been jumping out of their seats by the 5th black.
I watched a replay of the 147 break on the coverage this afternoon. Some of the positions of those reds made it a highly commendable effort. None of this balls already out in the open malarky, he made it into a chance and took it in style. Always love it when a 147 goes in
congratulations to the great man-the celebration was a bit chilled compared to Kirk Stevens-but good on him. I reckon he might well win this tournament.
too bad i coundn't watch it coz i'm in Asia,can anyone send me the video of it or just compress it and post on this forum and let anybody else to download it?
