Selby looks like he's the one who lost.

Strange.

Yes I must admit I fancied Robbo to win a second before Selby - should have known that Mark was too good a player to go the whole season without winning a major! And yet again, he ends the season world number one.

That was nice of his mum to bring his daughter on.

Okay I'm kidding

10/1 at the start decent odds but it reflected his poor season

So pleased for Mark. He doesn't seem himself at the moment but as Clarky said, he is World number 1 on credit. I hope this is the re-emergence of Ding as a contender in all events. Too good to be playing qualifiers

*sigh* the righteous indignation about the blunt truth is too much for me, so I'll take my leave!

It's been fun, I'll no doubt catch up with some of you again next season ☺

I thought it was. She looks old enough to be his mother

I bet Selby's kind of gutted Leicester won it tonight - 'dammit, that's my thunder stolen!'

Well played Mark Selby in the end - he's had to battle through a number of matches, but came good when it mattered and got the job done.

Full credit to Ding Junhui for making it a final though - at 6-0 down it could have been too easy to lie down and surrender, but he came back with some quality breaks, and the three on the bounce at 16-11 down showed the class he has. He'll be back stronger for sure.

So after my last quiz question which was

Which two players competed in the last Third place play off, and the answer was

Eddie Charlton and John Virgo


So here is the next question but i have got five questions for you this time. So here is the first question and its a nice easy one to get started


Which player has made the quickest Maximum in snooker history


Which player won his second World title ten years after his first


Name the year when there was two maximums made at the same World Championship and which were two players that made them


Which is the only player to have won the UK Championship The Masters and made a maximum at the World Championship, but never won the World title


And the final question


Name the players who have faced each other the most times in World Championship finals


Originally Posted by clarky323:

Alex Higgins?

2008 - Ali Carter and Ronnie O'Sullivan

Jimmy White?

Stephen Hendry & Jimmy White?”

Well done you have got all five questions right and the last question was meant for the Crucible finals but whoever said other players from the past have got it right as well


Now the Championship is over here is one final question


Who is the only player in Crucible snooker history to win his first two World tites by the same scoreline

Think she is five years older but there looks a lot more than than between them

I thought Mark looked rather awkward when his wife brought his daughter to the table. Didn't seem to know where to put himself.

Anyway well done Mark. Well deserved victory.

I think Vicky Selby is a very attractive woman. Some of the comments on here are just nasty.

I agree - and, and you say, some of the comments are completely unnecessary.

Well done Mark Selby, a bittersweet story of where he came from to where he is now.
