I think I used RU-vid's own filter to slow it down, so it probably was an early AI algorithm which was adding frames and smoothing or something. There's another upload of the original, which you can play slow I suppose.
I felt sorry for Jimmy that night. But higgins was a genius to pull that off the way he did. Without doubt the best break in snooker ever, i mean thats to stay in the match.
I never noticed it before but Alex was a genius on the centre pockets and used them a lot for his breaks where the more orthodox method is to pot in the corners as much as you can.
If only Alex had learned a lesson from this great win. He really was trying to be a better person on and off the table at the time but Alex, being Alex, couldn't stop himself. To me, he'll always be the greatest though.
In my opinion alex higgins is the most underrated snooker player of all time, he might not be the most skilled but audience's entertainment is always no.1, thats why i feel that hes the Greatest of All Time. RIP The Hurricane
@@p4rf252 if he wasn't good at position how did he make hundreds of centuries? I get what your saying compared to modern players like Ronnie and Higgins, Williams etc but the guy could really play. U have to remember aswel that Alex was at his true best in the early to late 60s. Before he took snooker to the television.
The standard of snooker back then was different from it is now Back then the players were GIANTS. They moved mountains. Sometimes we have to forget the numerical records.
wish i cud go back to 1983. i was 1. id change everything i ever did. if i ever walked left, id walk right!! nowadays day to day life is super fast so many demands, replies,requests, parking queues, overpopulation, renters in streets that were in 1983 communitys, we had the troubles but we had michael jackson Thriller and Billie Jean and top of the pops and decent bands including belfast band The Adventures making waves in england, todays life most young people just deal with social media's pure pressure to be someone or something feel the pressure to be seen to be someone. im 41 now yet life is non-stop plus theres no good new bands on the go its all rap or quirky advert music nonsense. even man city are actually winners these days and we have massive queue's in hospitals, dentists and gps over-run. Id go back to 1983 in a heartbeat. rant over lolo sorry!!! At least we have Ronnie Osullivan, no one watching tis match that evening had a clue there was a wee genius on the way!
Those 2 masse shots Alex played in the first frame shown here are a great argument for the miss rule...not saying he did that intentionally, but he certainly gained an advantage by playing them that way and not risking changing the situation of the balls if he was unsuccessful.
I used to watch Davis and others in the 80s ,then I thought davis was invincible. Now in the modern era watching ,selby is just as boring as davis then. Im sure all other pro players can play just as solid safety tactics if they reall spent hours focusing on that aspect of their game as well . The irony is others don't like boring and long frames instead play exciting snooker which is more spectacular to viewers. Sure players safety play being very much part of the sport but not to the extreme davis and selby play. Its so f....n boring.
Steve Davies just sat there at the end for interview with Alex with a face like a smacked arse. I don't see anything sportsman like about him one bit.😂
