he's using english 8-ball vocabulary, he's a former english 8-ball "pro" apparently. what really gets me is the exaggerated drama, but i have to admit that at this point it is kind of funny.
he doesn't know the rules either. haha
the world's greatest player and number 1 is in deep trouble
he just said the middle pocket is the greatest middle pocket ever. he must be high as a kite
Is this the finals, just tuning in.
Ends
the 8th.
no but the greatest match ever
ZMan is my new favorite. I love his fast style. No clock needed on him.
The zolinski match was 11-11 when I tuned in. Then 12-12. Then they lagged. Zolonski won the lag, broke and ran out. He was the match winner 13-12.
The commentator didn’t even know when the match was over. Tournament play should be crystal clear what the goalpost is.

Damn, after reading this, I feel like I gotta watch just for the value-bin level commentary. Sid Waddell is still the worst of all time but I absolutely loved his calls. So awful it was great, like "The Room".
Thanks to iPhone voice translator. i was able to pick up this broadcasting gem.
“The golden break. I don’t know who did that one, who designed the golden break, but I know who designed the silver break and that’s me because I’m a great believer in making the difference in 9ball.
We’ve seen the emotional side we’ve seen the drama side they call it lady luck, I call it good fortune and misfortune and you make your own luck in this game its you who played the shot not your opponent.
The harder you train the luckier you get it’s always the same it’s like the Formula One cars they go around and around and they run out of petrol just gotta make sure you’ve got enough fuel in the tank to get through this match.”

So the best of 21 turned into a best of 25. On the chart it is scored as 11-10 like the mistake noticed earlier. I can't stand it. The guys doing the scoring (in Poland) seem to generally be on top of things so I suspect they didn't find out about the bizarre hill-hill crap until too late to modify their software to handle any random match length. Sigh.
I tried to listen, I really did, but....
