Man the BBC is going in hard on how bad Trump's cue action is

[JimMalone]

Trump does a Higgins on Higgins and steals frame 3 with a clearance.

Ebdon continuing his nonsense about players being exhausted by time they reach the end of qualifying - no evidence for it at all, and if anything it makes the players sharper from round 1 in my opinion.

Lifetime ban from the Crucible if your cell phone rings during play.

No excuse for it whatsoever.

[JimMalone]

This sadly seems to be one of this bad sessions Higgins has occasionally had this season. Hopefully he can limit his deficit today.

Good mental strength by Trump

Lifetime ban plus broom up bum plus nipple clamps

Davis again?

Anyone else noticed black corners swallow some balls? I remember Wilson potting one pink that definitely went side door. And that red along the cushion from Trump looked a bit suspicious.

Thats two times Higgins has got a taste now of his own medicine.

Exactly. Agree 100%.

It's being completely blown out of proportion. Everyone misses balls, but when it's him his technique gets laid into. The guy has over 500 centuries already, and 70+ for each of the last 2 seasons- he seems to know what he's doing. Judd seems to be struggling a bit for form, but even so he's through to the quarters of the world's and leading. Not bad for someone who can't cue straight 😂😂😂

if Judd leads 6-2 after this sessions, then the match becomes 50/50

I don't really think his technique is an issue. He pots as good as anybody else. It's his shot selection that is not good often.

[Slasher]

Even though they are obviously great players Davis and Co. don't have the first clue of the mechanics at the fundamental level and this leads them to the wrong conclusions, they don't know why they do what they do.

[cidermaster]

This now has a 13-10 win to Higgins written all over it!

That's ridiculous. Maybe if it's 5-3. If he goes up 6-2 he becomes a strong betting favorite.
