    Im sure he knows stephen hendry is a dangerous opponent without thinking of anything he has won. Just depends how consistent hendry can be. Id like to see hendry win that one. Id be betting on higgins though, if i was betting.

    Robertson looked pretty good there this afternoon from 3-1 down. Three centuries in four frames I think. That's six centuries already in the tournament for him.

    Maguire looking pretty good so far, up 3-1 at the interval. I'm looking forward to the Higgins/Hendry game tomorrow, Higgins was very poor against Wenbo and lucky to get through to the 2nd round. Saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if he wins it outright

    BBC Interactive is the way to go (if you can get it), think this pretty much has every match live.

    Yeah it's a bit all over the place alright. One of the evenings I was on one channel waiting for about 15 mins, until I realised they had switched it to the other channel. This evening they were about half hour late because the tennis went late.

    Their commentary is better than I thought it would be. One little thing that is a little annoying is the commentary is a fraction behind the picture. Think that is because they aren't there, but you would imagine they see the sme pictures as us... obviously not though.

    Funny to see Mark Williams asking the ref if the brown was where he thought. Have the same problems myself with colour blindness too!

    Same here. Always have to ask the other player what colour I'm aiming for, just to be sure.

    Wouldn't mind, but I had a bet to pay out 125 euro if Williams won 10-5. :(

    Maguire leads 5-3 overnight, great session of snooker, two tons from Maguire and one from Perry. Their second session is at 2.30pm tommorow.

    Williams wins 10-6 and sets up a second round meeting with O'Sullivan. Liu made a decent rally from 9-3 to 9-6 but Williams got over the line with an overall scrappy performance.

    Looks like Ding is the latest sore loser this week, comments from his press conference include, ' The fans are rubbish' and 'The table is not right' !!

    More to follow.....

    I don't think there will be much more to follow.

    If allen or williams had said this then there would be uproar but they will try to play it down because ding is Chinese

    I think you may have misunderstood me there, when i said 'more to follow' i meant i would post the text of his press interview, apologies but i never actually got around to doing it !!

    Day seven at the Cruicble and here's the line up for today.


     
    10am
    17 John Higgins v Stephen Hendry
    22 David Gilbert v Neil Robertson

     
    2.30pm
    18 Joe Perry v Stephen Maguire
    23 Ryan Day v Cao Yupeng
     
    7pm
    17 John Higgins v Stephen Hendry
    22* David Gilbert v Neil Robertson

    * denotes to a finish

    Match of the day is no doubt the all scottish clash between Higgins and Hendry, 11 world titles between these two really sums up what we have in store. Both may be struggling with form this season with only the odd glimpse on show but there is no doubt that they will be both up for this match. I have to fancy Higgins simply for the fact he can win even when not playing well, Hendry when he has struggled this season has simply been awful. Yes he made that magical max in his first round match but during the second session of that match he was really struggling. It's amazing to think that this will be there first ever meeting in the world championships.
    The other morning match is the scond session of Gilbert v Robertson, Robertson leads 5-3 and played great snooker from 3-1 down to lead overnight. Robertson will probably win this session 5-3 again and maintain his lead going into the final session.

    2.30pm sees Perry v Maguire resume, their first session was a really high quality affair with three centuries and breaks over fifty in the other five frames. I fancy this session to be shared.
    Day v Yupeng begin their second round match, Day will still be on a high after knocking out Ding and his second Chinese opponent of the week will provide as big a test as Ding did. Yupeng played excellent to see off Allen and although both players are playing well i would have to fancy Day to prevail.

    7pm sees Higgins and Hendry resume and Gilbert v Robertson play to a finish.

    The second round is indeed well underway.

    Ah yes another day of watching snooker all day, you just can't beat it. The world championship is just brilliant with so many surprises.
    And while i'm waiting for it to begin I've just watched Thorburns 147, it gives me tingles every time. Up next Kirk Stevens 147

    A scrappy opening but it's warming up nicely. Hendry really needs to stay with him, this might just go to a last frame decider tomorrow!
    Are your nerves up to that !!!

    It seems to be the same old story with Joe Perry, nearly every frame today he's had a decent enough chance, now more so than the 13th frame when on a 52 break he misses a straight forward red into the middle and Maguire clears up with an 80. Currently 10-4 to Maguire, Perry needs the last two frames of the session to stand any chance.

    The other match sees Day 4-2 ahead on Yupeng.

    That's more like it from Perry, a ton to make it 10-5, needs to win this last frame.
