Matt Selt who starts tomorrow is a Villa fan
Ding vs Bingham deciding frame due at half eight on BBC4. I love a Crucible decider. ☺
Poor Ding is never gonna win the World Championship. Shame, he's my favourite. I do like Gilbert and Selt, too.
You could argue that, just as the players of the eighties owed much of their wealth and fame to Alex Higgins popularising the game, so today's players owe much of their increased sponsorship and prize money to Ding and the explosion in popularity he gave the sport in China.I think it'll be a shame if he never wins it, but he still has a chance. Forty seems to be the new thirty in snooker so you never know.
