World Snooker Championship 2022

Williams and Yan could be bomb disposal experts. Ice cool the pair of them. Would have made a great final.

The chat is there alright. This Asian lad is not really clued in to what is happening around the tournament.

I miss Colin presenting this year. Or even Rachel.

You're joking, right? Especially with that grade scale? Promising. It's taken him nearly a dozen chances to win some frames. He's lucky he's playing the worst person left in the tournament other than himself.

his tip didn't sound right either in the first part of the second session last night, sounded better after the interval and he seemed to play better then

Any particular reason they have Higgins and Lisowski in back to back sessions to finish their quarter final? If the afternoon session drags on a bit with some slow frames then it's pretty much going to be up to 17 frames with just around 90 minutes of rest in total.

I know they've done it in previous years too, but surely it makes more sense to have two matches finish in the afternoon and the other two tonight?

Regardless of how he played though, his attitude when he's not playing well is really good these days, usually willing to fight hard to grind frames out. He's completely transformed this aspect of his game and he's actually getting better at it as he gets older. A player with O'Sullivan's talent who's also up for a scrap is gonna be hard to beat.

Been that way for a long time (~20 years). Ensures that there is definitely snooker on this afternoon as otherwise if two games had finished 13-3 there'd be nothing to show.

4 on the bounce this morning for Bingham to lead 7-5. Trump need to split the next 4 and get to his preferred evening slot at worst 7-9 otherwise big trouble.

Trump just seems a million miles away. He's barely registered this morning.

...or else, God forbid, they're thirsty!

These pockets are hoovering the balls in, far too generous.

Everyone in the game accepts that the pocket template hasn't changed in years. as far as I know.

They'd need some conspiracy of silence in the game to 'make' the pockets bigger.

My money is on the explanation of the snooker journalists that camera angles can make things deceptive and the tables don't diffed apart from the faster cloth.

The pocket template mightn’t have changed but some people think that the slate has been cut back slightly so that the ball drops into the hole sooner than it used to, making pots a bit easier.
