World Championship 2009 [provisional discussion]

[spike]

You & me both. I think Liang will just edge past though.

[AndrewB]

He's out of the top 48 now I think so he's edging closer...

He's still in the China Open, isn't he? I know it's unlikely, but he might have a good run there and stay in the top 48.

Come on Davy! After losing 8 out of 9 frames it has taken some character to get back into the match.

[spike]

Holt has done well to come back to 8-8. Will probably go on to win now.

[JiangYu]

Nooooooooo! Liang Missed! Decider I think!!!

[Goldspark]

This looks like a respotted black...

I remember he had one near the end of the match against Swail in the UK qualifiers. Something about Liang vs. Northern Irishmen always seems to create tense matches.

[JiangYu]

Is now

[Goldspark]

Didn't take long for Liang to get it though.

That's because he goes for everything, Haha. LOL. I wouldn't be surprised if it was his shot first and he attempted to pot it at first instance!

[Goldspark]

Now, why isn't the frame score updating? I'm sure he must've won...

edit: 10-8 on global snooker, that's good enough for me.

[tomcrossnz]

i think live scoring has crashed again as the wenbo and morris match hasn't updated for a while now!

[spike]

It's a 10-8 win for Wenbo.

Fair point, though looking at it I think he'd need to make the quarter-finals and that's never happening for me.

Me neither..

Jimmy Michie loses and with it, his top 48 status as Burnett moves ahead of him with a win over Simon Bedford.

EDIT: Michie is still in the 48, the rankings on Wiki were wrong because Hicks had been given too many points. Michie will stay 48th unless Ford beats Williams.
