Yes first bbc needs to confirm tv coverage of each and every minute of the remainder of the championship before Hearn let's ROS come back on Seriously though...just the schedule I would assume?

I've heard some commentators mentioning NEW BALLS they are using this year.

What balls are they using now? Does anyone know?

I only know some of the players have complained the balls are a tad too light apparently. World Snooker is not taking up the complaint and refuses to butch...

[cpenney]

Hmmm....
Willie Thorne just mentioned it, asking Steve about the new balls this year and Steve said nothing basically.

I've just checked on the Saluc (Aramith) website and it has World Championship 2013 advised on there as one of the tournaments they are sponsoring as such......

Michael White is looking really good in the first 2 frames! I always thought he might win this particular match...think he's the better allround player. Hoping Poomjaeg can get his first frame on the board asap...

[coomsey76]

What a lovely century from Michael there to go 2 up......

Oh dear, Poomjaeng! Never seen that happen before. Three misses, frame over.

[P.Smith]

lol at this Thai guy. Starting to wonder if he is mentally challenged like Maguire suggested.

It's the third time this has happened at the Crucible.

Firstly, Ken Doherty v Darren Morgan, 1996 Round 2 frame 12. Frame score 55-46 to Doherty.
Secondly, John Parrott v. Anthony Hamilton, 1997 Round 2 frame 11. Frame score 33-22 to Parrott.

Meanwhile, I wonder how long it is since we've been guaranteed a non-world champion finalist by the end of the first round?
