World Snooker Championship

Selby v Ronnie gonna be a cracker

It will. But if selby gets a lead like Williams he wont be pegged back. Selby totally frustrated Robertson will try the same again

Ronnie interviews are now my favourite thing in sport lol

Selby is his kryptonite, especially at the Worlds.

What ! Sullivan can play shots others would not even think of playing.

Ronnie cannot play with the sort of crazy spin that White and Trump do though. Crazy, exhibition stuff.

Hopefully Mark plays it nice and slow to grind him down.

He can play any shot . And can do it right handed and left handed . Bar maybe Alex Higgins he is by far the most natural player of all time.

I dispute that. He started earlier than most players, so that surely plays a big part.

Stephen Hendry did not even start til he was 12 years old.

Really enjoying this tournament, but how many chances do these lot need to win a frame? Not many Hendry's or Davis's around nowadays.

He has the joint most ranking tournaments, the most triple crown titles the most century breaks , the fastest ever 147, the most 147s in competition .
To name just a few records. Turned up to a world championship Without playing a tournament all year and won it .
Made a century when he was 12 too.. but no he aint naturally gifted.

That’s not what I said. I disputed the “natural talent” thing. Surely it’s harder for one kid who starts years later to reach the same level?

If you don't think he is naturally talented I don't think you watch much snooker to be honest..

That’s not what I said either. Of course he is naturally talented. I dispute he is the most naturally talented, given how early he started playing. He got a big head start.

You mentioned Trump and white as been more naturally gifted was it?

He started playing earlier because he was so naturally talented.

It was natural talent that enabled him to start so early. A friend of mine has a 7 year old son who is a naturally talented snooker player, at 7 years old he is already ranked number 8 in the welsh under 14’s rankings.

This is even more impressive when you add the fact he’s only played on a full size table for 12 months
