The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

Bingham was thinking abut a 147 with that first chance in this frame. He has another one now though and will surely take it.

Murphy 8-7 Bingham

Great stuff.

Superb reply from Murphy, this is top notch snooker.

Murphy 9-7 Bingham

Big frame coming up

First signs of nerves don both players in the final frame of the session. It was asking a lot for both of them to keep up that standard, great chance for Murphy to take a three frame lead overnight.

End of session.

Murphy 9-8 Bingham

Brilliant stuff. Bingham will surely be the oldest first time champion if he wins it?

What an absolutely superb session of snooker! Both players adopting a devil-may-care attitude and going for everything. This is as good a world final as I’ve seen, hopefully both players can keep this up tomorrow.

Bingham is a thoroughly alright sort. You could imagine him driving a white van around Basildon and coming in to your house to fix up a minor plumbing problem, and not even charging for it.

A member of Amnesty International as well. Not your typical Essex man.

An improvement, spectator-wise, on, let’s say the Ulster Championship. :clap:

Walter Donaldson and Horace Lindrum had both turned 40 when they won it. Bingham is 38.

Pedantry lives.

Ooh. Big frame for Bing.

There’s never been a 147 in a World Championship final…
