Congratulations mcmanusrules. When Eddie Charlton beat Cliff Wilson 10-5 in the first round in 1982, Charlton's highest break was 34.

ROUND SIXTY-ONE

Anyone?

What is the lowest highest break in a Crucible match, of a player who won that match?

You will get no extra points but lots of appreciation if you also say who it was, who his opponent was and in which year.[/QUOTE]

I'll go for Murdo MacLeod with a 66 break. Don't know the opponent though.

[mcmanusrules]

I belive it is 34.

54? just guessing

[The Statman]

Congratulations DGE, the correct answer is indeed Pakistan.

Pakistan's most well-known representative is Shokat Ali. The other five in no particular order but, by coincidence, alphabetically are Mohammed Azim, Zulfiqar Cheema, Farhan Mirza, Saleh Muhammed and Imran Puri.

So here is the scoreboard after Round 59:

Heh heh.

Iv'e never been there, must put it on my 'to do list'.

Is Alan McManus a nice sunny country

I've heard it's a bit dull and dreary in general but there is the occasional flash of brightness.

Conditions known for their consistancy but recently have been getting worse and worse.

Excuse me? Is this in response to the "which country..." question?

[Mitsuko]

Just popping in to say, DGE is correct, it is Pakistan

[davis_greatest]

Cheers DGE.

Would help if i read all the posts before giving my answer !! Having done so now, I think you have the answer

Thanks Cessy. I think (or at least hope) it's the correct answer too, but Mitsuko has disappeared! I think I am scoring my first century with this post though.

[Alex0paul]

Qatar?????????

Hi Cessy! Hope you had a good holiday

(and I hope it wasn't in the Netherlands - otherwise hopefully you would know that it's not in Asia)
