finally a decent and clean break.

YES!!! You mean 50-decent or century-decent? Something happened here and I missed the final part of the break.

Speaking about snookers i saw Selby, who had 3 or 4 open reds preferring a snooker on the yellow even though he had possibility to pot the yellow or the brown....

But that isn't luck is it. He played it tactically.

So you havent seen Murphy leaving balls over pockets but covering them with the blue, Murphy mssing and sending reds everywhere yet Selby was on nothing. Also the the snookers he had in the last frame were very jammy indeed.

They are both playing poor but the luck Murphy has had makes him more likely to win. Although if the run starts to change Selby will walk it.

No, I don't think any of them will walk over easily, that would require a really big amount of luck, and I haven't seen so far anything that extraordinary.

Alex, you make Murphy look more important and dangerous than he is And they both have had their bit of luck so far. That's why it's 2-2, but looks like Selby getting in the gear.

I've seen him missing and leaving nothing for Murphy, who left a lot of easy balls when he missed. That's what i've seen.

Are you watching the same game? The run of the ball has had is just sick.

not one of the best semi-finals so far...but still a very interesting match...
Murphy looks really scared of his opponent and despite all the misses that Mark had it looks like he's dominating Shaun....looks like a 6-4 for Selby to me......hope we'll see some bigger breaks after the interval....

come on Shaun!!!

Mark missed and left nothing for Shaun, three or four times this frame. Maybve we will see a change of luck after the brake....
