McManus is good.

McManus is good.

I like McManus, not slagging him off, but if we're talking, say, Ronnie v Selby, deciding frame in the World Championship final, I just find myself thinking 'what do you know about this?'

Hendry, however, has that kind of experience so I find him more insightful.

Dale is very funny.

By your argument only Hendry could ever commentate on O'Sullivan matches. McManus is excellent, IMO, and the most celebrated commentator, Ted Lowe, never won anything. You don't have to have won as many trophies as O'Sullivan to work out which shot he might play. It's usually obvious for pots so they are needed more for safety and McManus was a great safety player.

McManus was known as 'Angles' because of his knowledge.

Hendy has talked of his admiration for McManus who could play shots he couldn't, and also talks of how even now he still learns stuff from other players, past and present, that he never knew.

Zhao looking a bit rattled out there. Is it pressure, expectation or The Curse? I know which my money is on.
