He is a pretty weak safety player for Top16 standards, thats obvious but on a good day he is extremely good in what he can do the best which is scoring and potting.

Remember what Bruce Lee said. 'I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times'.

Matt Selt just made 5 centuries in a bo11.

Being able to play devastating snooker doesn’t mean you’re a top player.

Selt is a mere journeyman who cant back it up. Murphy has proven on several occasions he can play a high level throughout a whole tournament and thats why he's won the titles he has.

You can call him a poor allrounder or safety player but his potting and scoring ability have proven to be enough to compete at the highest level and even win a World title.

Look, I get all that. I just don’t understand how.

I actually think his potting is overrated, or to be more accurate is not what it once was. He’s awesome at half ball pots round the back of the black, and very good at the just-off-straight pots and things like that but for how good a potter he is he’s a dreadful single-ball potter (i.e. potting the ball towards the end of a frame that seals him that frame).

His breakbuilding is awesome when he can use brute force but he lacks finesse.

I think his abundant confidence helps him immensely and when he loses that he looks bang average for long periods and can’t buy a win. (Compared to, say, Selby who can win two rankers a season even when low on confidence.)

Pang hasn't played that well tonight. But what's not in doubt is his tremendous fighting spirit.


As for Shaun Murphy, he's a top player when in form. But at times in the last few years he's been really out of form. Just like everyone else, some snooker players haven't had a good year with this covid. Murphy's situation has not been easy.

He'll probably win buck all and fall off tour within a couple of years.

my point though not well conveyed was more about the lack of british youth coming through , i'm actually getting more interested in matches between south east asian players than anything with british just because it seems like the slowly boiling frog analogy that its going to become south east asian dominated , i don't mind in any way at all just prefer to be more where its at as a viewer .

Did you remember your charger? My dad forgot his earlier this year, was a nightmare trying to get it to him during lockdown.

Yes thank god! And earphones so I don’t have to listen to three different snorers.

Maybe his early World's victory gave him the sense that he'd done enough in the game already?

He didn't have LASER EYE SURGERY.

Joke all you want it’s clearly one of if not the biggest factor in Judd’s recent success
