A good match that could still go either way.

I find it amusing that the sport the BBC use to try out their new super slo-mo cameras should be snooker :yh_rotfl

oooh have I missed that being mentioned then, not taken any notice. But then, I'm trying to revise at the same time

Hang on, was that when they were showing the balls bouncing around

The commentator makes me laugh, every time he says 'this is pottable' the player misses :wah:

I'm also finding the 'oohh I wouldn't have done that!' a little annoying.

Yep, balls bouncing round in all directions and cues bending like corn in the wind.

You must admit though, there have been some dodgy shot choices made?

I'm holding my breath whilst Dott is at the table.

Snooker looks alot like Pool that we play here. A Snooker table is bigger and it looks like it takes a bit more skill to play. :-6

Big difference (apart from the size of the table) is that the balls are all the same size. Tactics are different as well in that you cannot cover a pocket with "your" ball to block the opponent.

Clearance equals (red, colour) x 15, yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black will score from 72 to 147 depending on the colours taken.

Baseball looks a lot like Rounders too.
