Ding will destroy either of these two in the final, so many mistakes
this is cat, I’ve seen better potting down the hare and hounds
13-13
don’t miss the rack pack tonight lads BBC2 at half nine
this is intense match snooker
Fu finding his feet now 14-14
Yes, its very different from the Ding semi final but its utterly compelling in its own way. Really tough, intense old fashioned snooker. Best of 5 now effectively.
great refereeing here as a phone goes off for the 4th time and the perpetrator is ejected
Really top notch snooker here from Selby. What a time to knock in a century.
This is classic Crucible tension.
The standard has ramped up
15-15
Anyone going to call it? I genuinely haven’t a clue or even a hunch either way.
impossible to call
Selby one frame away from the final 16-15.
Passions running high for the Jester.
He got away with that one
he lost his composure
Marco Fu was a great favourite of my granny, who was a huge snooker fan, so I’d like him to win.
We went on a day trip to Belfast on the Bank Holiday Monday after Fu lost the Grand Prix final in 1998, and all she wanted to talk about was Fu - she thought he was great. She was even asking strangers in a cafe had they seen him in action the previous night. They hadn’t.
Selby is a really poor break builder and scorer in general for a world number 1. I’d fancy him to close out this match now but I reckon Ding will do a real number on him.
That in-off was a shockingly bad shot by Selby.
