Big Boy runs out of position, has an ambitious go at a red to the green pocket, it rattles in the jaws, shoots out, arcs along the baulk cushion and goes in the frigging yellow pocket. Big Boy does the necessary. 4-4. I've been on the wrong end of all of these bits of "luck" this afternoon...

Looking ahead to this evening - most surprising stat of the day imo:
Croup v Selt - the H2H is 11:0 to Croup and still 10:0 if you ignore the CL ![]() |

By:
4-3 Shon
|

By:
JAk J blows a really good chance to get back into that frame. Shon wins, 5-3.
Big Boy needs snookers. |

Great stuff, Oli! Beats Big Boy 5-4! Honestly think if he had a bit more belief he could be the next Dave.

Judd doing another Lazarus with his c-game.
Yeah - the stat is pretty meaningless but still a very surprising one. Very well done with Lines (again) ![]() |

TBH, I'm surprised Zhou has got this close. Some of those misses in the early frames, an in-form Judd would have taken full-advantage. I've not seen too much of it from that point, TBH.
Ended up with positions on the other three matches (not that two of them did me any good!), and nothing at all on this one. I do think H2H stats can be a good guide as to whether player styles match up, but I really don't see why Selt should struggle so much with Croup's game. I don't keep numbers from pre-2015-16 season, so not sure if Selt was still trying to find his game back then, or what. A bizarre one! |

Judd 5-4

Is Judd really only going to get 35 mins off? Seems a bit harsh, given they're BO9s!

35 minutes is enough to cancel a taxi!

Maybe Carter can put him out of his misery - he's been there for the taking but no fecker seems to want to finish the job - no matter how many opportunities they are handed.

Assuming he's the TV game - it does look like 35 minutes though.

Croup v Selt - prices bang on for the numbers; the H2H (as pointed out by TM above) is the interesting bit. Will be interesting to see if it's still relevant here.
Dotty v Ding - Ding's A LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG way clear on the numbers. Only Robbo & Ronnie are scoring better, actually! Overall H2H is 6-2 in favour of Ding, but they're all pre-2015 other than their most recent meeting, which was won by Dotty 4-0! Ding is too big, IMHO. Oli v Shon - Shon has daylight over Oli's numbers, but it's not huge. They've only met once, back at the 2016 Indian Open, Shon winning 4-2. I imagine Oli will have experienced a far bigger adrenaline rush after getting over the line v Big Boy than Shon will have, having been there, done it all before. Hopefully he can do himself justice. Purely on the numbers, he's too big. Ali v Judd - Judd has daylight on the numbers, despite everything. Ali actually has a winning H2H over Judd (not too many can say that), both before and after stripping out CL/WST matches (4-3 w/o). Ali's playing really well, from what I've seen this week. 2/1+ looks very fair. |

Yeah, judd gives up more chances, you think ali might be a player could take advantage. Circumstances in his favour too. That hth for gouldy is crazy, kind of comforting when you favour a guy anyway. Just reckon getting to business end, he has that bit more pedigree than opponent, even if form looks much of a muchness.
