The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

Higgins with a delightful cut on the yellow puts himself in pole position to win the frame then gets a kick on a straightforward green, but Selby misses the green, then Higgins inexplicably misses the brown.

Selby eventually steps in to make a clearance to the pink to take us to a decider, pure drama.

Looking at those match stats, how is Higgins still in this?

Selby looks a bit rattled , that was a really loose shot. Great chance for Higgins to put a decent break up here.

Because he’s the grittiest and best match player in the history of the sport.

He’s in first in the decider.

Only 22 from Higgins there, that’s a poor effort.

Fucking hell, what has Selby done there?:eek:

what a chance this is for Higgins, surely he can’t fuck this up.

Very nervy scenes here.

Selby with an awful error. He clipped the green in trying to swerve around it and careered into the pack splitting the reds for John to take advantage.

Fucking hell :eek:

Fucking kick. :eek:

Deary me.

Exciting, exciting table action at the Alexandra Palace.

John has got lucky with a poorly played safety.

One mistake could cost either player the match.

Magnificent safety from Selby.

Wonderful shot by Selby. :clap:

:eek:

Safety first. :clap:

John looks to be gone here judging by that last shot, can he muster up the courage to over come the odds here?

Not in his hands now.

Selby is something else, he never knows when he’s beaten. There could still be another twist in this yet though.

#prayforjohn

Going to get even more tense now.

Mike Hallett always comes across as a bumbling fool in commentary.

Selby’s break will end here.

Higgins leads 57-38 in the decider with 3 reds left on the table.
