Talldarkandransome Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Catching up with the first session today, 2 centuries and a 97 in 4 frames. Bonkers snooker, this young lad is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 9.30 and they’ve played 5 frames. Selby is torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted April 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I think Allen is going to do it. Not sure about Brecel - Si. I still favour Si but he did show a couple of signs of cracking, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure as it ramps up. Then again, Brecel isn't exactly used to this situation either. Edited April 28, 2023 by Lichfield Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Jesus Si Jaihui is a player, I could watch him all day. Could be finished tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 This is a tough watch but great steal from Selby. It's a different game the other semi but I enjoy tactical snooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 If they carry on at this speed they will be in danger of being hauled off before playing the 8 frames. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say, however, that last night's "nudge the white against a red on the cushion over and over" was getting very silly.

Xela Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 So the Chinese have finally manufactured a top player from their snooker camps? I fear for the others. They'll be disappeared/re-educated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 What a mini session, 2 centuries and 2 90s. Got this on the Iplayer on the telly and the Villa women on the iplayer on the phone. Great entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Big last frame. This session a real palate cleanser after the dirge served up in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 What a session, proper snooker. First signs of nerves from Si or chosing the wrong shot. First frame tomorrow is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
