Is there more than one match being streamed? It looks like they will be showing white vs sutton on the stream, but of course I am only interested in watching Alex.
I am Alex' number 1 fan along with a lot of others,

It seems that the snooker players tend to have a stroke with slow acceleration. Alex is of course a great cueist, but he seems to have that rapid acceleration on the fore-swing that is more suitable to pool.
Also, frankly, it seems that snooker requires tremendous patience.
Alex could have come back and won the first frame but scratched on the yellow. Second frame was a big run by Maguire. Alex needs to spend a couple years pounding balls into pockets on a snooker table, but his safety game is quite good already.
He's trying to do too much with some shots where he should be just potting the ball. Having said that he did get a break of 70 something at q school and his safety is good so let's see.....
