    What do you think he was trying to do? I can't see what else he could have been attempting

    It was an attempt to hit the yellow. Nothing more, nothing less. He needed to come twice or three times across the table to reach it otherwise and there was no guarantee of leaving it safe, so his idea was to hit the far knuckle of the pocket, bounce off the black cushion knuckle and hope the ball went somewhere in the region of the yellow. As the commentator rightly said, he was in an awful position.

    Total fluke and he definitely did not consider potting the yellow. If he said he did he's a liar. Given the margins concerned it was impressive enough to even hit the yellow.

    He was snookered on the yellow. He was just trying to hit the yellow.

    On the subject of snooker probably one of the most famous pieces of commentary ever is in this snippet about Pot Black

    It's only about 4 seconds from 0.07 onwards

    Sorry didn't listen properly!!

    That's not the bit of black and white film I thought it was

    What I meant to copy was the famous bit of Ted Lowe commentary where he says

    "Steve is going for the pink ball - and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green."


    Unfortunately I can't find it on Youtube
