Watched the last hour. I didn't think West Indies was stood a chance towards the end, but great batting from them, and poor bowling from England. England were lucky.

Was a really cracking day of snooker. This season really feels like a changing of the guard with guys like Luca Brecel, Zhao Xintong, Zhou Yuelong and now Hossein Vafaei taking centre stage more and more. Interesting that Yan has slipped back a bit, but one imagines that to be temporary

Agreed, top 2 ranked players haven’t won a single ranking event this season either.
Shootout yesterday was superb as was the Masters before it
I really hope Xintong can kick on from here too!

Definitely. I love watching Williams, Higgins, O'Sullivan and the rest as much as anyone else, and I still want for them to have their day from time to time, but the sooner one of these younger players can win the Worlds, the better. It's also really interesting that this young generation of players is predominantly non-British; hopefully this persuades World Snooker to make the game at least a little less Anglocentric

I'd probably favour something similar to tennis' four majors to sit as the next level down from the World and Tour Championship. The UK Championship, German Masters, China Championship and proposed Saudi Championship would be my preferences. It's an amazing sport, and it has so much potential beyond hosting all its major tournaments in England

Is it not more uplifting than talk about English cricket?

Fine. But I came here with an intention to read about Cricket. And I literally read your whole post thinking it's something related to Cricket.

Four in four for Holder to finish off the decider.
