Will this be the biggest shock in Crucible history? if/when Cahill wins?

Yes, no doubt about it.

[DeanH]

wow, what gumption to play those last balls, I wonder if his cue felt like a noodle?
what a result.

Ronnie was taking some absolute liberties with his shot selections in this frame

I think maybe he's decided to go all out attack and entertainment for the fans. Some of his shot choices reminded me a bit of Alex Higgins- unfortunately the end result echoed Higgins as well.

[Hey]

Awesome OS is gone

Will this be the biggest shock in Crucible history? if/when Cahill wins?

It's definitely right up there. And I'd actually say yes. An amateur defeating O'Sullivan in the first round.
It's at least on par with Knowles over Davis in 1982, Bingham over Hendry in 2000 or Wasley over Ding in 2014.

It may have been if RO had played with any care or desire to win. As it is, no, not much of a shock afaic. The demons have been busy in O’Sillivan’s head.

He looks exhausted today - wonder if he hasn't liked being expected to do well. Again.

[JimMalone]

That last red wasn't too shabby considering the pressure.
Congratulations to James Cahill. Never expected this.

I don't think he will... but no.

Did RO cut his hair with a chisel?

Did Ronnie play the long double on that pink? I think he kinda did. Or really he just does not care...

Pretty sure he didn't. The pink would have gone half way up the side cushion if it hadn't been so close to the jaws.
