    I'd say the game is praying Ronnie wins,
    otherwise the viewing figures will be shot to pieces having to watch mark selby

    Cahill shouldn't have played that last shot. Pushed the boat out too far.......... Looks like it won't matter. AGAIN!

    Some dreadful queuing from Ronnie here.

    Cahill should make this 8-5.

    Slow Pink to the middle looked like it rolled away...

    Ronnie in the horrors at the moment.

    Cahill in to 4/7

    Ronnie has no interest in playing snooker this week. Clearly just wants to be on the Eurosport couch.

    Had Cahill took a few more of his chances yesterday, the match would be already over.

    Wow. This is dreadful from O'Sullivan. I thought after that first frame he was gonna cruise towards victory but he's gone back into ****show mode. Cahill looking nervy though. He's giving Ronnie plenty of chances to get back into this. Can the rocket get his act together in time?

    Crucible really a house of horrors for Ronnie the last 5 years.

    Ronnie doesn't tend to battle through like Selby does he? Hes either on it or not. His body language is terrible today, looks well off.

    When Ronnie is in bored/fidgety mode you wonder how he has ever won anything because he's liable to miss any shot/lose to any player.

    Yeah, especially over longer matches. Its almost as if he purposely self destructs sometimes at the Crucible when hes a heavy favourite.

    Dreadful miss by Cahill on the red after fluking the black. I wonder is it nerves of possibly seeing the finishing line.

    Always seemed an unnatural conjunction to me, such a twitchy guy being the most naturally gifted player at a sport where vast reserves of patience and calm are nearly always part of the package. Like a 5 foot 5 fella being an absolutely brilliant basketballer...

    Yup but hes gone out in the first or second round 8 times before. Including 2016 and 2018 second round losses. A few of them were very similar to this.

    Its rare, but very occasionally he doesn't turn up.

    Edit - but then again he goes and knocks in a century just like he was brushing his teeth and daydreaming.

    Cahill is making a few poor decisions for me at the moment.

    That was a great chance botched by Cahill.

    Yeah, nerves maybe starting to get the better of him. Ronnie certainly giving him the chance to beat him in most frames.

    He's been nervy all day in fairness. Fighting for position the whole time. He's only winning frames because Ronnie keeps giving him second and third bites of the cherry. I'll be surprised if he manages to get a break over 40 between now and end of match.

    Ronnie playing to his clinical best in this frame.

    Night and day differences to even two or three frames ago.

    He looks utterly jaded though as he sits back down.

    Wouldn't bet against Ronnie now although he looks out of sorts.

    Ronnie is such an infuriating man to be a fan of.
