Just heard about Willie. Hope he can battle through this.
One of the genuinely good men of snooker, yes he's been ill with other stuff as well, but he is a good bloke. |

Don't forget that the Snooker World Cup starts in the morning. It is on British Eurosport from 5.30am. No lunchtime coverage due to the tennis ( which is totally understandable )

It's great to see the Snooker back 😀
I have a rules question: Player A is 22 points behind at the table with just the 6 colours left but snookered on the yellow. He misses it and the cue ball goes in the pocket. The referee does not call a miss and Player B puts the white in a position in the 'D' where he is snookered on the yellow but in position to pot the green easily as a extra yellow using the 'free ball' rule. My question: is player B allowed to do this or is it NOT a freeball mean he can only play the yellow or make player A play the shot again? |

So they've dropped where one player plays a shot and then his teammate plays the next. Glad that was changed because a bit ridiculous.

He can only play the free ball if the ref has declared it.

Because of that rule, Century breaks made in doubles matches are also added to the official list because it will be the same player who is at the table for the entire break. |

Hong Kong 4-0 now on Brazil means Belgium and Scotland are the first two teams into the quarter-finals...

China A and India qualify from Group A, unlucky Malta.

wasn't it this way in 2011 too? Pretty sure I read that on Twitter. Before that I thought this year was alternating shots too.

Northern Ireland have surprisingly lost the first three frames against Pakistan. Good news for Australia who've taken two off the Welsh to join them in the QF.

In fact Pakistan very nearly ousted Austrlia for the second spot but lost their last frame against Norther Ireland. Unlucky, terrific 4-1 victory by them.

Would have been very annoyed if they won 4 of the 5 games, narrowly lost the other game 3-2 and still went out. Not expecting anything though as they've got Wales in the Quarters. |

Ronnie was a guest on the Clare Balding show yesterday. It's on iPlayer and On Demand.

Nailbiting drama at the conclusion of the first semi-final as Scotland scramble over the line 4-3 over India on the final pink. Poor old Mehta will be having nightmares about that barely medium distance pink off its spot for some time!

China B also win 4-3, defeating Wales to join Scotland in the final. Fine effort by Zhou and Yan.

As indeed they are! Joyous scenes as the Chinese lads clinch victory by 4 frames to 1. Outstanding performance!

Barry Hearn has said on Twitter that the World Cup will be every two years and he hopes for the Wuxi Classic to return next season. Presumably before becoming the World Cup again in Wuxi the following year.
