Year Winner FrWin%
1989 Davis, S. 75.27%
1993 Hendry 73.68%
2004 O’Sullivan 68.93%
2003 Williams, M. 66.98%
1985 Taylor, Dennis 66.67%
1991 Parrott 64.81%....

Interesting how Parrott won a greater percentage of frames that he played in 1992 (67.3%) than in the year when he won the title (1991: 64.81%).

Round 186

I didn't realise Dennis Taylor won so heavily in the rounds up to the Semi-Final in 1985.

ROUND 186

How about this then for the next round.....

J1 Davis, S
J1 Hendry
3 ???
4 O'Sullivan
5 Higgins, J
6 Parrott
7 Griffiths

Davis and Hendry come out joint top. Who is third on this list and how have they been ranked this time???

[kellie-text]

Is the answer Jimmy White?

Is it most semi-final appearances at the Crucible? Hendry & Davis have both had 11 semi-finals and Jimmy has had 10.

[dantuck_7]

Jimmy White is 3rd on this list - but its not the correct reason.

Its a lot more obscure - we'll give it a day then you can have half a point kellie.

How are we doing with round 186 above?

[chasmmi]

I am ready with round 187 when the time comes though

[dantuck_7]

Kelliex-text has the correct answer of Jimmy White for R186. So, 0.5 pt there.

They have been ranked by the frame difference for matches that they have won at the Crucible. Hendry and Davis came out equal with 361 or 391. Jimmy White was 3rd with 250 odd.

Will provide a complete list tonight :---

Davis, S. 361
Hendry 361
White 249
O’Sullivan 192
Higgins, J. 166
Parrott 161
Griffiths 149
Ebdon 135

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN

...over to chasmmi....

[chasmmi]

Sorry for the delay. So... Following in the footsteps of lists and missing names here is my little offering. Four missing names, put them in the right places and tell me why...

HENDRY
DAVIS
THORBURN
EBDON
WILLIAMS
DOHERTY
J HIGGINS
TAYLOR
STEVENS
GRIFFITHS
A HIGGINS
DOTT
JOHNSON
PARROTT
MANS
SPENCER
SELBY
MOUNTJOY
BOND


As this is possibly quite hard, I will offer 1/2 a point for each name that is is placed in the correct position plus a further half point for whoever gives me the method behind the order.


So that is 2.5 points potentially available!!!

[davis_greatest]

Definitely only four names missing, chasmmi?

[Alex0paul]

HENDRY
DAVIS
White
THORBURN
EBDON
WILLIAMS
DOHERTY
J HIGGINS
Reardon
O'Sullivan
TAYLOR
STEVENS
GRIFFITHS
A HIGGINS
DOTT
JOHNSON
PARROTT
Murphy
MANS
SPENCER
SELBY
MOUNTJOY
BOND

Total frames won in world finals?

[davis_greatest]

Total frames won in world finals?

That was going to be my first guess too (Crucible world finals), but my list looks different from chasmmi's and has 5 extra names instead of 4.

[chasmmi]

Alex0paul has one player in the correct place. He scores half a point. He does not have the correct reason.

FOr the life of me I cannot imagine who your fifth player may be DGE (as in if four of the players on your list are indeed on mine I cannot think who you may have as number five)

[davis_greatest]

Yes, sorry, there were only four! I had two Alex Higginses!

[davis_greatest]

Seeing as Hendry and Davis (and possibly White) are right up there and have played in many World Finals, and Thorburn and Ebdon are also very high in the list, despite having played in comparatively few, I'll guess the list is ordered by total time spent at the table in Crucible World Finals?
