2012 Shanghai Masters Qualifying

Is there any commentary on the snooker tv?

[LittleMissAlexa]

3 and a half hours to win 5-0 is a bit of a joke really

I know, but they're shown as Tables 1 & 2 on the worldsnooker.livesport.tv website, so I'll stick with their description to avoid any confusion.

Not at the moment, but there may be in the later rounds.

The guys are just doing their best the only way they know how, I see nothing wrong with that.

we have seen deliberate slow play ruin schedules so many times in the past taking 62 seconds to play an obvious shot is deliberate time wasting Lawler has been at it years

Slow play is no good but have you all seen my Ben Judge play??? haha he is VERY SLOW!!! i am always giving it to him on how slow he plays, his excuse is "I just cant see the angle mate"
Good to see he won his first match!

[LittleMissAlexa]

Honestly Lex, I think you're a little harsh sometimes, I'm sure things look a lot simpler to us sitting here in our comfy chairs watching while these guys scrap it out for their livelihood. People seem to think that these PTCs are nothing, but there's real pressure out there.

I make that 1 century in 128 frames. Definitely a very very poor average compared to the standard we've been accustomed to see.

[PatBlock]

Speaking of time, Bracel butchered his last safety shot of the 4th frame handing it to Hicks. OK, he was a tad unlucky to put the red over the green pocket, but he rushed it, and a little more time and thought would have done the shot justice.

IMO there's far too much emphasis on playing quickly these days, all the youngsters seem to want to play like Ronnie, 100 mile an hour, no need to think. But they're not Ronnie, he's a one off, and consequently we end up with players like Trump who seem to start out with virtually no safety game whatsoever.

when Ronnie won the UK Championship in 1993 he didnt have a safety game your safety improves as you age it has to as your potting eye and concentration go
