Equipment fails - Pros make allowances in advance. Unless you're a snooker player it seems!
If this one-sided contest continues the Beeb will be looking at some low viewing figures for tomorrow. How many frames do they play today? |

Horrible mini session for Ding but still plenty of time to recover

This has shown that finishing late in the second semi doesn't matter

^ I'd started to bore myself banging on about it
![]() Last player to lead 4-0 at the first interval was Dott v O'Sullivan in 2004. He went on to lose 18-8! |

Has the Beeb shown Griffiths winning in 1979 in the Crucible Classics series yet? I was there for that so I'd be quite keen to watch that again.

Ding needs to get going soon.
Not sure why people felt ding was the favourite for this match. I suppose he had played well throughout the tournament but selby and final experience would always be a big factor . Hope we are not heading for first afternoon finish in many years Leicester double tomorrow maybe |

This isn't looking good for ding. Mark is looking very good indeed.

I'm surprised some of the 'experts' didn't know it. Surely any professional snooker player should know that Joe Davis has won the most world titles.

Man against boy here. Selby is like Davis and Higgins combined tying Ding up in knots mentally and dishing out the worst kind of punishment in this greatest of all arenas for the greatest prize. Its impossible to tell what Ding is thinking, but I bet its not pretty.

Didn't hear their responses. Who got it wrong?
Someone said Joe Davis won 20. |

Is that high-pitched whine coming from Ding?

Can't remember to be honest. Don't know if they were being serious or not though. Willie Thorne turned to Steve Davis and said 'how many did you win... 1..2?

I never really count Joe as good as he was because he played one match compared to the modern day. If he'd have played in the current format I very doubt he'd have won 15.
No one knows how players would get on in different eras. Different equipment etc |

Imperative that ding wins these last 2 frames.
