    Ding has been getting better but still a big disappointment overall for me. Should be in the top 4 with his form a few years back but completely fell off the plane. Still capable but personally I wouldn’t touch him with a pole vault.
    Woollaston a fair price Daz, you seem to do well with your outside picks and like you say top half looks ripe for an underdog to make progress although Murphy has picked up the last two compys. Really not keen on the format of 7 frames makes it a bit of a lottery. Roll on the World Championship.

    Wilson was poor again this evening.
    Cant see him getting top 16 now in time unless he gets a decent run in China

    Daz mate, Woollaston had a great opportunity to beat Murphy last night.
    Unlucky that mate.
    Allen was poor against Dunn, I think had Wilson have beat Ryan Day would be in semi’s now, too many missed chances by Wilson.
    Think it will be a Hawkins and Murphy final and have done them both to win today in a double

    Cant believe Murphy lost that last night. Allen still looked very shaky but good amongst the balls.
    Murphy’s took on too many long balls and should of kept Allen to long range where he has been struggling all week.
    Snooker Loopy, I am not watching the final….. :unsure:

    I’ve been criticising Mark Allen all week but good to see him land the trophy.
    He wasn’t near his best for me this week but somehow got the job, lovely scenes at the end with photos with the family.
    China next up, who you like for that Daz me od china….?

    Ranking wise White 15th and Ding 16th both lost first round so a chance for Wilson if he gets a good run here in China.

    I think Wilson will have to reach the Semi final to get in top 16 but that might depend on how well Maguire does.

    Maguire made the top 16
    Ding Dong out of it
    Qualifying rounds start 6th April, some tasty games for sure.

    Kyren Wilson might have to play Stevens or Swail along the way.
    Good luck to the woman in with a chance to qualify

    Well done Nathan on getting Wilson to the Crucible, that was a good win today over Matthew Stevens. I’m on Michael White again at 125-1, Looks like he may have to get past Mark Selby in round 2 but over a long distance he could give him a match. Quite a few old favourites have qualified this year with Ding Junhui the player who the seeds want to avoid most.

    Martin Gould got Ding Dong
    winner plays Trump or Wenbo

    other standouts Bingham v Carter

    Marco Fu got Ebdon, that could be a snoozefest, neither that attacking

    I’ll post up the full draw once I find a decent template to copy
