I'd quite like to see the Parrott Vs Davis match. Could be either really funny or really boring.

John Parrott was 6-1 up & then 9-6 up & lost the next 3 to be level 9 all.
Both John & Steve had chances to win the last frame & it was a shame that luck had to come in to it against Steve. John won finally but it was close.

I just can't believe it was 18 years ago that Davis hammered him 18-3 IIRC in the final! I'm getting old!

Half the fun of snooker for me is supporting Davis and White... what am I going to do for the rest of the tournament?
It's a shame actually... Davis vs Parrott was absorbing, but it was a bit error-strewn. The commentator at one point said: 'It must be hard to miss those, knowing how good you once were'. Though when you get sparks of eaither of their best, it's pretty magical.

It looks like Ding Junhui is trying to fight back against O'Sullivan.
It was 8-1 over night but Ding Junhui has won the first frame of the day & in the balls & scoring in the second.

Shaun Murphy 10-6 Judd Trump
Judd Trump is my favourite. Well, he had the coolest name.

The only place I could think of posting this, but I went to the pool club with two mates yesterday and we had a right laugh - I kept missing the easiest shots, but potted all these daft trick shots with balls flying round the table, it was hilarious

So do i. But it was better a few years ago before they edited it & put it to a crappy disco/dance beat.

I haven't heard that version... disco and snooker don't go together though

Higgins did very well to claw back, I was watching the 20th frame yesterday and it went on forever, a real tactical one.

Murphy Vs Selby. 4-4, 8-8, 12-12 & then Selby is 13-15 ahead & then loses the next 3 to be behind 16-15. 1 down with 2 to play.
Murphy 16-16 Selby. And Selby has just got the last frame. Only the third qualifier to make the final & those previous two won it.
A Higgins Vs Selby final. Who'd have thunk it!?
Loads of pressure on Higgins as a huge favourite.
Higgins 18-10 Selby result? What say you?
