Are there any YouTube videos of this event with commentary in English? All of the ones I've found have only the referee or just silence. I really miss the usual commentators with their cute accents. :p

Lacking that, here are the quarter-finals:
Robertson/Bingham ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbKxwwbyAF4
Wilson/Lisowski ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfQ6jBS-Y_A
Selby/Williams ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm-IMbeCtj8
Ford/Hawkins ..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAaefl_BGxY

Hi Bob !

AGTV commentator is from Thailand you said or that's maybe what language he speaks but he sounds like he's having fun to me , a lot more fun to listen to than some English speaking snooker commentators .

Billiards is a universal game and once you understand the basic rules etc you really don't need the commentary . Sometimes with English commentary you don't have to look at the TV screen to know who cracked in the ball on the back of the leather pocket .

The 'World's' are just around the corner on the BBC , £147.50 TV Licence or face a fine or jail time for not paying it and listen to Hazel Irvine in the hot seat presenter box so what's her highest break , just reads from a script so I'd rather listen to the enthusiastic 'Mr Thailand' figure out WTF he's speaking as I watch the action . :cool::rolleyes::wink::grin::grin-square:

Hi gordml !

Going to Be Selby vs Hawkins. A Hawkins win is a much better story...

Hollywood scriptwriters couldn't make it up in this tournament so far , two 147 maximums , Selby getting some form and I must agree . A Hawkins win is a much better story . :wink::thumbup:

" Recommended Outright Bets: Mark Selby at 8/1 Ding Junhui at 16/1 and Stuart Bingham at 22/1"

Snookerbacker back with a winner , Mark Selby @ 8/1 folks.....

On Snooker Forums they call him Mark Slowby & HTF he got the nickname 'The Jester From Leicester' is beyond me as there is nothing funny about this Dude , his play sends me to sleep & I call him Mark 'NosferatuThe Vampyre' Selby .

On reading that Mark 'Nosferatu The Vampyre' Selby has risen to seek fresh blood and got a transfusion injection at the China Open the future event is indeed the 'World's , so I sneaked into Da Bookie's & took a course and distance winner who was in my first calculations , Mark Williams @ 14/1@ Ladbrokes so that leaves one othe previous course and distance winner still to be bet , E/W of course . Any suggestions as to recommendations as to who wins the 'Worlds' are more than welcome but please , anybody except mark Selby , I just can't bet a penny on him !
