Two brilliant performances from Littler and Humphries.

I thought Littler's performance was staggering for a first World semi but then Cool Hand does that!

Cross didn't play badly at all in fairness to him, better than Williams played I'd say, but neither stood a chance with the intensity both Lukes showed.

What a final in prospect tomorrow.
It's a difficult one to call as they are both young, talented, play a quick tempo and have bottle.
Cross missed a few doubles at a time when Littler didn't. No real issue in that, Littler did the same when Cross brought it back to 3-2 and suggested levelling for a short while. Every time Cross threatened, Littler found something.

Humphries totally outclassed Williams in the end, though it was his ton-plus finishes that gave him such an edge early on.

I'm going for 7-3 Humphries tomorrow. If Littler wins, he'll either have to average around 110 in a world final or Humphries will have to drop 10 points on his average. I think Humphries is the more lethal finisher and if he asserts that early doors, it'll be a long final for the other Luke.

But what the hell do I know? I'm guessing. It's on the day. What's the odds on them struggling and averaging in the late 80s?
