Ding does seem more relaxed this evening, and that century will do him wonders. But here's Selby, regularly taking over a minute on his safety shots, looking to suck the confidence out of Ding before he can really grab it. Great match play snooker... sure. Ho-hum...

[cueman]

is it me or are both players playing deliberately slow this frame? ref should have a word really, fans look bored stiff.

It's why these longer matches can be so gripping,... you see the pressure shift from ding to Selby.

Exactly! It's why I love the longer-frame matches...always.

I said it this afternoon, with the last 2 frames Ding got you could clearly see a weight lifted off him and a freedom in play afterwards....he is continuing the same way this evening.

Uhm nope, he definitely looks *good* again around the table...well-worked century that was. C'mon Ding...keep the pressure on now.

[daffie]

Let's say he's starting to look better... ain't too hard considering how bad he looked^^

Selby isn't as flawless in the evening as he was for most of the afternoon. That gives us hope that Ding can fight back to make the match closer.

Actually 4-7 would already be much closer than the match felt for most of the time.

[armstm]

ha ha! thanks! lets hope that Selby's tip isn't badly damaged and cause him to start crying in the corner.

[daffie]

fixed that for you mate. :P

...and then some

In the meantime Ding got one back...

[Le Ball Sack]

Is Ding always this crap with the rest?

[jonny66]

The selbonian fans are fighting back after misguided criticism of good matchplay snooker

The selbonian fans are fighting back after criticism of their dashing hero!:@)

Well that's just underhand, Selby miscued in a blatant attempt to unsettle and frustrate Ding.
