Snooker - The Crucible Final

Ebdon back to play, leads 41-29 after making long red and easy black. Seems that he should take the frame from here
 
ebdon makes a very nice shot after a good safety shot from dott, and has anice chance of winning the frame. during the safety's inbetween each potted some balls but nothing greath. just the usual, pot,score some points, back to safety technique.

. 10-15 for ebdon.... interesting 3in a row.... mmm :D i still would like some heavy breaks,but inthis stage, i guess it will all be crappy get-what-u-can frames with some easy missers from the stress and fatigue.

26th frame. ebdon tries 2 times a log pot, screw back to balkline, but the speed made the ball not go in, and the 2time the red came back to balkend and left dott with a chance but after potting the red, break off 1 is over. ebdon misses too and dott back for a chance to do some breakbuilding. colours on spot. 4 balls open close to black (avaiable in both pockets), pink free, and 1 reds in the balkline. i fance dott to win this one. score: 4-8

dott still in controle of his break, but pink has to go on the green spot now making dott having only blue and black to play with. 1 red left in the open before going into the pack or clear the 2red in the balkarea. 38 break at this time... keyshot now... and he misses his position rom keyball to breakball. end of break. ebdon now in with a tough long pot, and CLEAN as a whistle straight in.
ebdon with a typical 14-1 breakshot from the brown on its spot. all goes well, he caons the rack , 3 reds in the open, but no easy shot on... longpot on one of the balkred's, clean in, and greath position!! not over yet. ebdon has the killer look back on in his aura. ebdon plays another 14-1 breakshot into the rack from the black on its spot. rack opens nicely like a flower. ebdon break of 24 and trailing 24-38 BUT a greath break already with hard pots and all in his favour now...

ebdon past the snookerpoint, so 11-15 frame won by ebdon. 4th in a row, midsession interval now...

cya all, im getting some beers... before im out of it. might still be a long night. ebdon has taken over dotts aura. dott now filled with fear's in his eyes. the endline is sarying him so hard he is doubting. ebdin with the killer aura back on.

Ebdon at 24 wrong side of the blue. Great shot and choice of reds, this frame should be over! Ebdon at 43 stil looking good. 46 good angle on the pink, then just upto blue required. Tough shot on the green, which is frame ball, he makes it! 11-15!!!

Dott making some stupid mistakes, and too defensive at times, not willing enough to play two-way shots. Rightly so he's paying big-time for it. Ebdon 4-0 this session.

Well it's back to 50-50 for me. A lot hinges on the first frame after the break, whoever wins that is favorite for me.

I wonder if anyone is watching this thread btw.

It was 50-50 for me when they started that session and now i'll put Ebdon slightly in front. But as you said, whoever takes the next frame is in strong position.

And about beers, Jupiler is ok if you don't like real beer:D My favourites are both abbaye beers and from lager i always go with Stella.
 
other things like u, and beers: kriek or stronger things like vodka, cointreau etc ice cold.

ok midseesion almost over, ready for the last frames: ill report as much as i can.
 
Frame 27 on its way. Dott leads 4-0 and got those points when Ebdon made a miss. So safety battle continues and all balls on the table.
 
Latest frame has already taken 30 minutes plus and theres still 8 reds left on the cushions! :eek:

If this goes to the last frame I'm tipping 5am finish - come on Ebdon lol

Dott can't make a 30 break at the moment
 
30 minut frame. 0-36 for dott. very boring frame. some nice single pots, but its just not moving on. back to safety's..
 
Very scrappy frame, have to favor Graeme in this one. scoreline 13-40, Graeme missed a red by about 4 inches there.

zzzzz crucibel is not shining today. man , sorry im going for a cig break. ill catch on on the next one.
 
This frame is getting very tight. Might even be a re-rack. I wonder who will fall asleep first. LOL.

No, Ebdon has a reasonable chance to knock in a few balls. Score 19-40 for Graeme good safety from Peter. 55 minute frame so far, we'll crack the hour with this one.
