Snooker's theatre of dreams



So when I asked Ronnie to crucify Hendry, it seems as if he was listening - it stands at 13-3 overnight, and Ronnie took seven of the eight frames of the last session. Apparently Ken Doherty pulled back from this kind of deficit in last year's semi, so I'm not going to do anything more than give a tentative "Yay!" right now.



The subject line is taken from this afternoon's snooker commentary, over a pull-back shot of the arena. This is referring to the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, which should give a good idea of why I love a). snooker and b). snooker commentary.

One my favourites: "We might be looking at a final frame thriller." (Try saying that last bit quickly.)
