do you think he can grow his beard back by evening session?

[April madness]

Well there you go. I said this was a weakness of O'Sullivan's this week. He did it twice against Selby and got away with it. But he's not getting away with it against Higgins.

What was it exactly? He played the wrong shot (as WT would say and Doherty was saying he should have played it differently)? Higgins gets a bit lucky though, his cue ball control is not as great as other times...

He should have kept the stubble dont you think?

Higgins goes 5-1 in front..

Higgins goes 5-1 in front..

of course... but he should have won that frame without a beard too.

nice century from Higgy

[davidgti]

could someone tell me highest break in first frame ?

thanks

What was it exactly?

Missing snookers.

All he needed to do was hit it, he had the frame won. And it was not a particularly difficult escape either.

Anyway, it's gone now. You can see from the look on Higgins' face that he will be pushing for 7-1 now.

John is a great craftsman. Steady, reliable, workman-like.
He covers the huge wall carefully, smoothly and cleanly and ... well... perfectly.

Ron, on the other hands, can paint amazing imaginative and virtuoso murals in my mind.
He is an artist, and artists need beards... right?

around 30, 33 maybe, by Higgins.

ok i guess spike is right though. they both had around 30... maybe 36 was by Ronnie then.

well the BBC commentators said it was not a particularly easy one... from where the red was standing. plenty of chances to miss. but yeah, looks like Higgy got it going now. From a rather sloppy start he's now in full speed.

[davidgti]

thanks guys

[ore]

second, if not third 'sighting' mistake by higgins? (ie when some other ball disturbs path to the pocket)
