ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE

Anyone?

[The Statman]

ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE

Stephen Hendry is in play against Dave Harold and, having come to the table 15 points behind, is currently on a break of 29 as he gets down to play the last red, which he has snookered himself on but with a straightforward escape. He completely misjudges the path and fails to hit the red. The cue-ball strikes the green, which in turn hits both pink and red, and all three of those balls enter a pocket. The cue-ball comes to rest touching both brown and blue, although he doesn't leave any possibility of a free ball.

No balls are involved in the shot with the exception of those I have mentioned.

What I want you to do is quote me exactly what the referee will say following the shot I have described.

[Robert602]

Foul, and a miss. Dave Harold 29, Stephen Hendry 6.

?

[Monique]

Foul, and a miss. Dave Harold 29, Stephen Hendry 6.

?

Rob, don't you mean Foul, and a miss. Stephen Hendry 29, Dave Harold 6?

I think the ref would probably say f**k what a mess! albeit very quietely and if able to refrain the fit of giggles ...

[The Statman]

Congratulations Monique

Yes that is indeed what the referee would say; nothing more, nothing less. Some referees might put the number before the name (... 29 Stephen Hendry, 6 Dave Harold) and I would have accepted that as well.

So, here is the updated scoreboard after Round 329:

[The Statman]

'Touching both balls'

No he would not mention a touching ball, since the cue-ball is not touching the Yellow, which is the ball on.
