Re: Crucible Snooker 2017
Saw two good programmes on Sunday, the first one 40 years of the Crucible was all about the world championships over the years with some of the old players talking about their wins or in Jimmy Whites case, 6 final defeats. The second was called the Rack Pack and was the story of the rise in popularity of snooker and the rivalries between players particularly Alex Higgins and Steve Davis who at the time had been discovered by Barry Hearn as a dedicated methodical player or in Alex Higgins eyes "boring". The characters were very well played by the actors with drinking and smoking at every game with the exception of Steve Davis. Well worth a watch on the iplayer.

Steve was always a clean-cut fella, immaculate at the table, very smart casual when I met him in the mid-80's.....a really nice bloke !
Loves his music :sing:

Mark Selby will be sick as he scored the highest break 143 this morning
Re: Crucible Snooker 2017
Lifeline for Ronnie you lucky man !
Re: Crucible Snooker 2017
My two favourite players out of the tournament today
Fantastic break from the impressive Ding to finish O'Sullivan off
Too many errors from the Rocket, his safety play wayward at times
Lovely moment at the end as Ronnie whispered in Ding's ear & gave him a congratulatory cuddle

Re: Crucible Snooker 2017
Selby v Ding
This will be much tougher for Ding as I don't think Selby will be as reckless as Ronnie was yesterday. Mark is a much more cautious player playing the necessary safety shots when required, very much in the mould of the great Steve Davis
Should be a cracking match

Re: Crucible Snooker 2017
After saying all the above Ding wins the first frame after a poor safety shot from Selby when in a strong position
Re: Crucible Snooker 2017
Wonderful 68 break from Selby which included an excellent shot with the spider & also a difficult plant shot. Ding did get back on the table & could easily have stolen the 2nd frame.
Clever shot off the cush wins it for Selby
1-1

Re: Crucible Snooker 2017
Just tuned into it after a 1 1/2 hour walk with Zach houndie. I'll be hopping between snooker and Andy Murray....hopefully Ding will stay with Selby
