AlimOzturk Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) The two bottom pockets at the black end seemed to be playing totally different. The one on the left seemed to be bigger than the one on the right. The kicks were terrible and the bounce off some of the cushions absolutely horrific. For a world final for a table to be in that bad shape is shocking. They try and blame the humidity but they could easily invest environmental/air conditioning to get the conditions just right for the players. This is after all the pinnacle of the game right here. Conditions shouldn’t an issue for the players Can’t remember a year with so much issues with the snooker table. They have trying this new chalk but it seemed to make Ronnie and few other miss cue. Might be causing other issues as well The crucible might not be the best environment for the snooker game to flourish. Might be a lot of sentiment there but it might just be for the world championship to grow they might need to move venues.

Victorian Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 There was definitely a problem with that table. A few shots across or against the nap pulled in a bit. That's not normally seen on these supposedly fine cloths. Bounces, ball squaring up off cushions, unresponsive deep screw shots, earthquake kicks.

JimKongUno Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 O sullivan is a complete and utter but it's hard not to marvel at his talent.

XXX Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Imagine after finally being let back into a sporting event and you manage to bag a ticket to the last evening session of the World Snooker Championship then Ronnie O’Sullivan only has one frame to win it. They should have just played that last frame out and put Kyren Wilson out of his misery. As much I don’t think it won’t happen, what if Kyren Wilson does this? Surely it would be one of the greatest comebacks in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
