Bloopers Can Bill Webenuik be the second Canadian to rewrite the history books This young man Jimmy White celebrated his 22nd birthday literally four days
ago I like playing in Sheffield, it's full of melancholy happy go lucky people John Spencer can't really afford to go 5-1 down at such an early stage Alex,unlike many other professionals, adds a bit on his cue rather than put
on an extension And Griffiths has looked at that blue four times now, and it still hasn't moved After 12 frames they stand all square. The next frame, believe it or not, is
the 13th But there was still the big prize money, hanging there like a carrot waiting
to be picked He's 40 points behind and there's only 51 points left on the table Now that cue arm, now in perfect rhythm with his thinking He has to stay level, or one frame behind, that's the only way he can beat
him That's inches away from being millimetre perfect Well it seams at the moment as if the pockets are as big as goal posts for
Willie Thorne The formalities are now over and it's doen to business, Steve Davis now adjusting
his socks Steve, with his sip of water, part of his make-up Well, the shot would have been safe if the red hadn't ended up over the pocket Steve Davis is trailing by one frame, so the pressure is balanced on him He's obviously worked out for himself that he doesn't need that last red, great
thinker this man And Jimmy's potting literally doing the commentary here He's completely disappeared. He's gone back to his dressing room, nobody knows
where he has gone. 99 times out of a 1000 he would have potted that ball The match has gradually and suddenly come to a climax He's lucky in one sense and lucky in the other Oh and that's a brilliant shot. The odd thing is his mum's not very keen
on snooker Higgins first entered the Championship ten years ago, that was for the
first time, of course Just enough points here for Tony to pull the cat out of the fire And it is my guess that Steve Davis will try to score as many points
as he can this frame Tony Meo beginning to find his potting boots Suddenly Alex Higgins was 7-0 down When you start off it's nil-nil Steve Davis has a tough consignment in front of him From this position you've got to fancy either yourself or your opponent
winning A little pale in the face, but then his name is White This said, the inevitable failed to happen No one came close to winning the title last year than the runner up Dennis
Taylor That pot puts the game beyond reproach He'll have no trouble in solving the solution I've always said the difference between winning and losing is nothing
at all Well, valour was the better part of discretion there Sometimes the deciding frame is always the hardest one to win All square all the way round There is, I believe, a time limit for playing a shot. But I think it's
true to say that nobody knows what that limit is Ray Reardon, one of the great crucible champions, won it five times,
when the championship was played away from the Crucible Jimmy White has that wonderful gift of being able point his cue where
his is looking 10-4, and it could mean exactly what it means And now snooker, and Steve Davis has crashed out of the UK Billiards
