Yeah Blah, FF has a very good point which I was going to makeforestfan wrote: ↑05 May 2019, 23:03All-time record number of centuries, yes, definitely poor quality...
Maybe there are more mistakes, but that’s probably players being more aggressive, or being made to pay a bigger price when they do mess up. The depth of talent keeps increasing, hence the shock results and wide field of potential champions these days.
Yesterdays snooker was awesome. The first session was high quality from both players and then Trump went into another world
Trump played one long red red and screwed back to baulk. It was phenomenal. Only three other players could have pulled that off - Alex Higgins, Jimmy White and Ronnie O'Sullivan. There was even a touch of Higgins (Alex) with the way he threw his body into it. He then pulled off a similar type shot on his way to a show stopping 135. I was off my seat. That had people spell bound. You could see the audience gaping and then going crazy at the end. It was brilliant and no coaching manual or DVD can teach you that. Sheer natural talent. Then Trump started to combine his natural game with guile and safety and the correct shot choice. It just turned him into a snooker terminator. Higgins did hardly anything wrong. He's made about four centuries and got five frames to show for it !
Let's see how today goes.
