The Snooker Thread (Part 2)

Snooker is one of the few sports where the quality of punditry and commentary is off the charts

BBC coverage is for simpletons. Eurosport/TNT is for proper snooker heads.

He was no Ted Lowe. His attempts to make the crowd chuckle via the headsets was annoying.

I can’t agree with that at all.

Stephen Henry for instance is the best in the business.

Alan McManus and Neal Foulds are very good. Plus Jimmy.

I’m not disputing that.

But nothing wrong with the BBC lads either.

It’s like with everything these days, discussion of snooker coverage on different channels is a CULTURE WAR.

Lisowski beats Higgins 6-5. He knocked in some break in the last to win.

Standard after break was as good as you will see

Lisowksi has given himself a huge chance now of getting back into Top 16 for the Crucible. It will be all but assured if he can beat Hawkins in final tomorrow.

A lovely player on his day but doesn’t show it enough.

Hawkins leading 5-1. A few bad runs of the ball and Lisowksi head dropped very quickly.

Barry Hawkins ahead 8-5 and on the brink of winning the Welsh Open.

Presumably Ronnie has broken the website?

How does this work?

I always wondered did somebody get more than 147 after a foul as a score but it wouldn’t be a break a such.

A free ball with all 15 reds on the table allows for a maximum of 155. A black with the extra red.

Quiz question, only player ever to do a 16 red clearance at the Crucible?
