kevshat Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. 3pts ew S.Murphy to win World Championships 10/1 Stan James (1/2 1,2) Shaun Murphy showed the world his qualities 2 years ago where he beat all before him and he comes here a better player this year. This season he won his 2nd ranking event title when he took the Malta Cup in fine style. He hasn't got a tricky draw either and I think he's the man to beat. He looks a quarter finalist all ends up with his only challengers up to that stage being Judd Trump and the winner of the David vs Parrott match. A potential quarter final against maybe Doherty or Stevens doesn't look all that daunting and as I always say in these things once you are in a semi final it's anyones. Murphy will be a multi world champion I've no doubt about that and I can see him notching up number 2 on Bank Holiday Monday. 16-14 up to lose 17-16 :sad . Credit to Selby though, from 14-16 he was superb and the break in the decider was pure quality. :notworthy :notworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2hcb Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. Selby has done very well to reach the final, but besides beating Ebdon he's had a fairly kind draw. Higgins has beaten 2 top players on form in O'Sullivan and Maguire and is showing signs of his best form, he should win here against his less experiened opponent. The handicap allows an 18-15 victory which should be well within the Scot's grasp. John Higgins -2.5 frames @ 8/11 (Paddy Power) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hcb Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. Higgins wins the second session 7-1 as he did against O'Sullivan to take a commanding 12-4 lead overnight. Hopefully he should finish the job off tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2hcb Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. only O'Sullivan can match the kind of snooker he's just played in that session Dar! Amazing to watch, even better when you've put money on it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hcb Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. Higgins having a stinker so far this afternoon though, deficit cut to just 12-8 and Selby now brimming with confidence gets in first with a chance to make it 12-9. Another great comeback from Selby on the cards it looks like, and this would be the greatest comeback in a world final ever I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of these final's is tension,mistake's and battling and this has had everything so far. I suppose you think a great final would be century breaks in every game and no-one getting the chance to come back from the dead. I'm not a big snooker fan but I can't take my eyes of this.

Sharpe1ne Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. Love this quote from the bbc site at the start of the session. "In order for Selby to come back now, it'd take a breakdown from Higgins the like of which has only been seen from the England cricket team."

I took Selby @ 7-4 with Paddy Power in running yesterday when the score was 2-2 as I thought he was staying with Higgins. Higgins then went on to lead 12-4 and I thought I was screwed and you were home and dry. Will be a very interesting evening session. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hcb Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. looking terrible for me now. Great display from Selby to take 6 on the bounce, I'm sure it would have been 8 if they'd have had enough time. With all the momentum going Selby's way, John will have to move back to last night's form to win atall, never mind against the cap :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point tonight the thought of winning the trophy will enter his mind. I'm looking forward to seeing how he will cope then. If he handles it ok he'll be the world champion and given he's played the best snooker in the tournament nobody can deny him it. Can't believe Selby is still 2/1 :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hcb Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. yeah Higgins may well (probably should) close it out in the end, but he's definately 2nd favourite to win by 3 frames atm :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodyTHFC Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. A high class final. Even though it went on a while no one can dispute the quality of the tactical play from both players. A great win from Higgins but for me Selby was the star. To come back like he did was a great achievement and even though he could not quite pull of the greatest of comebacks he will certainly be one to watch for the future years.

2hcb Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. well you were right Darren, when he took the frame to go 16-13 I began to relax. Top marks to both players though, Selby was still potting some crackers towards the end but getting unlucky on position, and for Higging to keep his composure and position at the end after all that had gone before was outstanding. Good to see some grand old tactical duels I thought, proper Snooker this, up at midnight watchign them play for the yellow for 15mins!

arneko_fe Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. Lollll I dun even know that 1 little remark on this final bring in so many reply againts me lolllllllll. Read my statement again, I said "Don't you think Selby is a kind of player not suppose to play infront of many cameras? Boreeeeeeeeeeeee" - Well, look at how long he took to pot a ball?? 2 minutes?? or more??? It is a kind of physcho game to higgins, well thats part of the game. But in front of camera meaing on the live telecast, it was so bored sitting there waiting for that bloody pot. I do enjoy those come back, especially how he control the game and the 6-0 lead in second session. I think if this game gonna be a new rules not to run off probably 25sec, higgins will win this match easily. If someone would to say, thats his style being slow and accurate well, i cant agree at all. Do you see how he pot those ball after a significant lead?? those sides he apply and those placing of cue ball was superbbbbbbbb. So, i think thats part of his tactics to win a sit in the final game. Still this is a fair result as Higgins with his super form to win this tournament. Congrate!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: 2007 world snooker championship. No offence, but your staggering lack of snooker knowledge is truly exposed in what you have just said.
