That was the table on Selbys shot and it was the red along the cushion he debated playing, if he missed it he would have left it over the pocket, other 4 reds open and easy go get onto the black with and would have lost the frame and match
I disagree Paulie, a shot should never take 6 minutes. Regardless of whether his average was still reasonable that is a joke.
Firstly look at that table I could instantly play the right middle closest ball, if attacking. If not play of the red on the right and go up for a safety. It's not even that tricky, I understand he can leave one on but he played it long in the end which just shows he was too indecisive which cant have helped. Ronnie has hit a 147 quicker than that
I like Selby but 6minutes for one shot lol that's terrible for the game.
For balance I generally play as quick as Ronnie anyway both at snooker and pool, even when I feel like ive taken a while before I've watched back and its still only an extra 5 seconds lol

Wow that's a long old list , well done Paulio? I don't really understand BBC really their coverage is pretty poor. Always staggered and doesn't really help. Shame

Cahill another good win in the first, seems to rise to the occasion in these so called ' top events' , obviously beating Ronnie recently and Selby last year?
Brecel dipped again, he got his act together around a season ago but cant seem to get anything going again.
Did the UK used to be longer races? or have I imagined it, I prefer the longer format personally but at least race to 6 isn't too short... I know they shortened it years ago but I cant remember when.

Sunny Akani v Lee Walker did not finish before the morning session ended and will play again on the first available table tonight, so will be added to tonights scores
Peter Ebdon v John Astley did not finish before the afternoon session ended and will play again on the first a ailable table tonight, so will be added to tonights scores.
TBH its unsuprising 2 matches that havent finished involve Ebdon and Walker, both players have AST of over 30 seconds this season and are 125th and 126th in the overall AST table

There are actually 2 players below them although one if them has only played one match since he joined the tour and 5 players higher than 30 seconds AST in total
Xiao Guodong 6-1 Rod Lawler Anthony Hamilton 6-2 Sam Baird Jack Lisowski 6-2 David Lilley Alan McManus 6-1 Elliot Slessor Robbie Williams 6-3 Luo Honghao Yan Bingtao 6-1 Igor Figueiredo Fan Zhengyi 6-4 Zhou Yuelong
Ken Doherty v Mei Xiwen did not finish before the morning session ended and will play again on the first available table tonight, so will be added to tonights scores
I don't like Ronnie either, but to be fair, Barry Hearn has given the players no incentive to go for the maximum this season. I get the 'do it for the crowd' argument, but I dont blame the top players for being pissed off

I get that the players are pissed off, but they still go for it.
