I'm sure most players suffer some mental fatigue after 9pm! Their snooker brain shuts down a bit.

I said on Twitter a low value punt on Brecel for the semis was worth considering. Pleased even though I was one frame out. Selby though reminds me out Dott at the Worlds. I actually felt like I was watching someone on the way out against Robertson. The Selby I want to see is one who played those classic games v Higgins and ROS. His safety and determination now makes him the new Ebbo. He'll be a threat but he'll also get run through by likes of Judd and co. Second very unpredictable BBC major. Great to see Murphy playing at his best. Wins too many games with his B form and then comes up short.

How can ...The UK is no longer a "major". How can it be with rounds at first to 6? That is not a test and it is probably the reason Trump went out to name a few. The format is a joke. The only tournament still left that provides a test is the World Championship. How long will it be until that's changed?<br /><br />It is no surprise that Selby has reached his first UK final considering the shorter format. Watch him fold like a cheap pack of cards at the World Championship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-26863863190846434572012-12-09T14:42:25.615+00:002012-12-09T14:42:25.615+00:00Let us all hope Murphy wins for the sake of attack...Let us all hope Murphy wins for the sake of attacking Snooker.

The rows of empty seats at Telford didn't do the game any favours. <br /><br />Selby's career has been pretty weird. He seemed to stagnate for a few years and his ranking hovered in the 30s for a several seasons, which seemed his natural level. Then all this protracted stalling started and it has to be said it has worked out well for him, although it seems less effective against the top players in the latter stages of events, which is why he struggles to land titles. You can't blame him for it really though, I'd do it if it took me from 30+ to number 1 in the rankings.<br /><br />I just hope Murphy dictates the pace of this match otherwise we'll be hearing cries for a shotclock at ranking tournaments again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-33207574007249449442012-12-09T11:38:30.710+00:002012-12-09T11:38:30.710+00:00I think it could be a classic.
