Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[Cyril]

If the ref declares "not touching" but then the balls "move" so as they are touching, the ref will move them apart again.

[The Statman]

Congratulations Cyril. Indeed, if the referee examines the balls and finds they are not touching, and they are subsequently found to be touching, then the referee can alter their position to his satisfaction.

So here is the scoreboard after round 134:

ROUND ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE

Which commentator said this during the 1988 Embassy World Championship and which player was he commenting on?

"Well!" [his voice gasping with disbelief] ".... I thinks thats called throwing caution to the wind!!"

It sounds like Jack Karnehm and I reckon he must have been talking about Alex Higgins...

Half a point for rambon. It was indeed Alex who played a length of the table reverse plant in to the top corner, which spread a tightly bunched pack of reds all over the place.

but, who said it?

[rambon]

I remember the shot, so I guess it must have been Ted Lowe...

[Cyril]

Nope, not Ted.

[rambon]

Nope, not Ted.

Jim Meadowcroft? I'm thinking of people who were likely to say "Well" in that dramatic way

[Cyril]

Well, it wasn't Jim either.

[rambon]

Well, it wasn't Jim either.

Clive Everton?

[Cyril]

Clive Everton?

Well done Sir! A hard fought point, keenly contested with yourself!

[rambon]

Well done Sir! A hard fought point, keenly contested with yourself!

I'm both gutted and over the moon

After a year at the top of the BBC table, I'm glad to break my duck here

[Cyril]
