Dale is playing well but Mark Davis is in shocking form, it has to be said. I don't think he would have qualified if he wasn't in the top 16.

Really? I didn't realise facial hair came in and out of fashion.
All the Hollywood stars have it, it even leaked over here. But Paxman shaved his off announcing it was very 2013.

Another steal from Dom. 9-2 now.
Soon Selby and Carter will have the place to themselves.

Selby vs Carter is such a tasty sounding second round match.
Where's the twiddling monkey smiley when you need it?

Never seen Mavis play so bad like he is here
Dom without playing that well manages to be 9-2 ahead.

Who is more likely to win his opening match at the moment Robbie Williams or Mark Davis?

No. Apart from that, hasn't been a comeback at the Crucible from a bigger margin than 9-5 down.

Hasn't won Murphy 6 in a row against Stevens in 2007?

Ken Doherty comeback against our late Paul Hunter in 2003 semi was also very very impressive, one of the best matches ever at the Crucible that one.

A BBC commentator talking rubbish? The idea is too fantastic to be true.
