*Towards the end of the 19th century, billiards, which dates back to the 15th century, was popular among British officers stationed in India.
*According to the most commonly accepted story, in 1875 Colonel Francis Fitzgerald Neville Chamberlain - namesake of the future Prime Minister - was at the origin of the invention of the game of snooker, while he was stationed in India, in Jabalpur: he suggested to the officers' mess that colored balls be added to traditional billiards, which included 15 red balls and one black.
*Firstly, the yellow, green and pink marbles were added; brown and blue marbles appeared around 1880.
Beautiful sustained control of the cue ball in that first break. Remarkable. No real recovery shots needed all through this break ... Maybe the brown was a little out of position. Maybe the pink. But really beautifully controlled cue ball throughout.
I hate to break it to you but he's not No1...not in ranking...he's number 2...maybe he should be...the PBSA rank Mark Allen number One at the start of snooker season this Summer...based on winnings / prize money at end of World Championship in April...
Dreeben is desperately trying to avoid having to explain Obama's military assassination of Bin Laden and why Obama shouldn't be prosecuted under the same reasoning that he is applying to Trumps trial(s).
how exactly did Trump destroy O'Sullivan, Trump was 6-3 up, in the next eight frames Ronnie won 7-1, coming out the Champion and beating Trump 10 - 7 in the final, If you are going to write these headlines, get your facts right, I watched this match and overall it was quite even till last 3 frames when Ronnie came through,
My favourite part of any frame of snooker is the initial safety duel, before any ball has been potted. It was a real shame not to see that here, because that's where this frame was decided.
