Thanx for that ,Slash...it was indeed exciting.

Here's the 1984 match that the commentary referred to...

Thanks, sad to say I remember watching that one live, I must be getting old :grin:

That was a fantastic match; thanks for linking it.

Dear snooker commentators,
'Beijing' is pronounced 'Bay-Jing'. Do make a little effort, please: China is the future of the game.

I know many Cantonese speakers...to my ears it sounds like 'Bay-zhing'...
...with just the hint of a soft 'j'...a Japanese speaker pronounces the hard 'j'.

Half the time, I still say 'Peking'....like many old Hong Kongers.

I know a lot of Mandarin speakers... and they pronounce it 'Bay-jing'

The only people I've heard refer to Beijing as Peking are European tourists or old colonialists.

Most of the Japanese folks I've encountered avoid referring to Beijing at all
