Kind of annoying how they cant finish their game dont you think? rules are rules tho
Also very dissapointed with the coverage earlier i wanted to continue to watch Selby vs White and not Burnett v Perry and they stopped showing it on either channel and said it was on eurosport 2 which it was not grrr the coverage is a bit of a joke why they dont just show all of it, its only for 17days!
Wasley has had a cracking debut, although i like Ding it would be remarkable if he can win and didnt show any nerves at all today. Both him and White are going to be up there for a long time!
looking forward to see Kyren Wilson too, dont think i've seen him play but follow snooker blog... snookerbacker.com which makes him out to be quite exciting , recommend people go on there daily too for preview/ write ups good read and some betting tips not that i take any lol

Day 3 Roundup Joe Perry Beat Jamie Burnett 10-7 (Afterwards Burnett said he has fallen out of love with the game and is considering retirement) Mark Selby Beat Michael Whie 10-9 (A tense final frame decider but Selby's record in final frame deciders is near perfect) Michael Wasley Beat Ding Junhui 10-9 (A great performance from Wasley on his Crucible debut, Will Ding ever win the big one) Alan McManus will take a comfortable 6-3 lead into tomorrow (McManus was wearing some great tartan trousers) Ricky Walden will also take a 6-3 lead into tomorrow against Kyren Wilson (Wilson started strong but the mid session interval helped Ricky Walden)
There was only 3 centuries today (10 for the tournament now) but we do have a new high break which was a 137 by Ricky Walden.
Ding was unlucky there and put on a ferocious show when all seemed lost but Wasley played out of his skin throughout the match. Great, great deciding frame.
On a extra note there have been 4 final frame deciders at the crucible this year 2 last night 2 tonight, there was only 2 in the whole of the tournament last year
Comments
Ronnie's score was a bit flattering but still would be a brave man to bet against him...
I had Ali Carter v Guodong no 3 consecutive frames @ 16/1 thought was a great bet as was always going to be tight but captain won 3 in row early doors
Love the snooker, but do really bad on betting on it just enjoy it as i think it will be a great championship.
Great stuff by Doherty today, Bingham complaining about his cue just seems bad sport to me regardless how true it is
Ali Carter 10-8 Xiao Guodong
Ding Junhui 6-3 Michael Wasley (Will finish tomorrow afternoon at 14:30)
Very slow day for the Centuries only 1 so far, although it is the current high break a 136 by Ding Junhui
