Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Robert602]

Well worked out Lindea but I'm afraid it's not the answer I'm looking for.

[chasmmi]

Is John higgins' case made from tartan?

[Robert602]

No responses for two days Come on, my question wasn't that hard was it? Ask for clues if you like...

[Cessy143]

Clue please

[Robert602]

Alright then, it's about what they've all done in a world final.

[Cessy143]

mmmm, kinda stuck here. I'm thinking its something to do with sessions won/lost or century stats

[The Statman]

They have all missed a final colour in a world final, when on for a 147.

John Higgins's is unique in that it is in fact in my imagination. (Unless by some fluke I'm right)

[Robert602]

Sorry statman, that's not it . Cessy's getting close. The statistic is a record for a world final (and indeed a jointly-held record for any match) that they all share.

[Cessy143]

Ok i'll try this. They all hold record for most tons in a crucible final, Higgins unique because he's on the list twice

[Robert602]

Not quite, but getting very warm...

[Cessy143]

Story of my life Robert. I bang on the door for a while and someone else opens it

I'll keep thinking

A ton in every session in a World Final? Higgins also having a session with more than one?

[Cessy143]

They hold the record of making the most centuries in 1 match at the crucible (5 tons in 1 match). There are other players who have done this but they are the only 3 who have done this in a final. Higgins is unique as he is the only 1 of the 3 to actually win the final after making the 5 tons. Hendry and Stevens both lost their final.

[Robert602]

Bingo!



Congratulations Cessy, that's exactly right.

Doherty didn't make a single ton against Hendry in '97 (the year Hendry made 5) and yet beat him 18-12. Proof that it isn't all about breaks I think.

Stevens got 5 centuries in losing to Mark Williams 18-16 in 2000 (Mark made 2 tons), and Higgins made 5 beating Doherty 18-12 in '98 (Doherty made 1).
