I think this year the standard of commentating from the BBC is the worst ever. "Oh, that red doesn't pot"-It DOES! "No, not in"- it IS in! Then there are the times when you see the shot they will play almost immediately and the commentators can't see it until the player actually gets down to play the shot.

:spot on: That's why I like Davis, he calls big shots before I've thought of them or the players have got down. Folk like Taylor and Griff couldn't play half the shots of today, so it's no surprise they get so much wrong, commenting on a game they've hardly played.

Think that's a fair reflection as Robbo was much better in the latter part of the session.

Maybe, but I think 8-8 would have been fair, think Robbo got the run of the ball.

Davis is OK, but I think Eurosport have the best commentators, Foulds is really good.

Have a feeling Foulds (and Yates) are done for the championship. And Angles progressing to the quarters means they go without him as well.

Wonder why ES never considering asking Clive? :chin:
