    Watched it last night, was good.

    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

      that shot Mitsy, along with the 3rd last led were the 2 best IMHO

      anyone know the time for the break?

          Pretty slow, but it /is/ a 147, which is amazing in itself.

          Anyone have a complete list of all 147s and their times?

            The whole frame was just over 14 minutes. There were a few safety exchanges at the beginning. The actual break was about 11-12 mins.

              it was my first 147 live on TV. Wonderful played by Ding.

              did not think it was slow at all

                Then you should watch Ronnie's 5:20 147. 9 seconds a shot. Then you might consider this slow. ;-)

                  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.

                          Virgo was busy going on about how Ding might dominate the game in the future and took no notice on what was happening on the table till late. Lol!

                            Superb 147 Break

                            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.
