Great potting skills from Hawkins here. Unlucky though that he hasn't got position.

WTF? Why didnt McManus take that red on?
You wont win the frame with fouls only
Jesus he should really have taken that on, such a negative frame of mind its unbelievable.

This really is some old school snooker between Selby and McManus. It's like watching an old match between Ray Reardon and Cliff Thorburn or Terry Griffiths.

McManus' gameplan to snooker or tactic his way to victory isn't a million miles off execution right now...

Anyone know the cue Dale is using? Looks to have some history to it.

I think it's a replica cue made by Trevor White.

The story of his season, one match good, the other terrible. He'll never be World Champ with so much inconsistency in his game.

Selby outplayed with his own tactics. A joy to watch.
He didn't play that great against Carter, his pot success was something like 87 or 88.

Better from Selby. Missed the opening parts of the frame, how did he get in? Easy McManus miss or good pot?
