    Shelby has missed so many relatively easy shots so far.

    Wonderlife will MMA this thread if he's let loose to proselytize his view of the protagonists mindset in this final. We'll be updated on what they had for breakfast and how well they slept. A close source will have kept him well briefed in all of this!

    I think he should continue to give his knowledgeable opinion. He is obviously a current or former player at a high level and would probably knows Ken well. His opinion is probably the most valid on this thread.

    He was also 15/2 to win the first session 6-2, and 33/1, 50/1, 66/1 and 80/1 to win from such scorelines as 18-13, 18-11, 18-9, 18-7.

    So I hear.

    Hope you got a slice, you've called it perfectly so far. I had Trump at 15/2 but cashed out at 1.4 when his brother tweeted about his shoulder.

    No but he is a crap commentator, along with Dennis. Get Davis and Hendry in there instead. Old boys club is boring the tits off me.

    And get Clive back as well.

    Ronnie had the chance to go 10-4 against Selby a few years ago, but Selby cleared up and then won two of the next three frames, if he goes in tomorrow 7-10 down he'll be in a good position, anything less than that it'll be hard to see a way back.

    Davis and Hendry, seriously? I think you would have to admit that those two know a thing or two about the mentality and temperament involved.

    When did they know, after one win, two, three?

    Brilliant segment on the city of Sheffield there by the BBC & the Nugget and glad they touched on Hillsborough.

    I would imagine that it was a combination of having a particular talent and temperament in the first place and then gradually improving on that until they both got to a position where they know exactly what they are talking about.

    If Higgin's wins this frame then Selby is in trouble.

    Is it not an 8 frame session?

    Usually play 16 frames on day 1.
