The China Open is always interesting to allow those hidden chinese gems to take their chances. Sadly almost none make it to the final in their own country... I hope 1 makes it this year.

I hope <deleted> comes through again this time. More of my favs are Liang Wembo/ Ding Junhui and of course Wattana...

I am a Selby guy. How about you?

Correction to my earlier post. Live matches everyday now through 31 March. 1330 and 1830, not 1930.

Thanks W. I will tune in to the interesting matches.

Anyone apart from Mr Boring himself, Peter Ebdon, had more excitement watching paint dry or grass grow.

Like to watch the attack minded players such as, The Rocket, Matthew Stevens, Steven Maguire.

Dont know what happened to <deleted>, seems to have lost his way these last few years.

I think Maguire is too consistent and predictable. No fun to watch. I prefer the creative innovative players and that leaves only The Rocket and Selby and Judd Trump. IMO.

Allistar Carter has got some moves as well! And he is on this time.

Rory McLeod - The only dark skinned snooker pro with a beard is on as well! Love they way he looks.

For the aussies always wonderful to watch Neil Robertson is on as well..

^^^^^, as boring as Ebdon is to watch, he has been know to play some totally off the wall shots, that most players wouldnt even consider.

As for Ali Carter, last I heard he had some medical problems, wasnt there talk of him retiring, hope he is ok now.

BTW, RIP Paul Hunter.

Ebdon, the alien is slowly, painfully slowly, giving way to Campbell.
