I never saw him use chalk between shots at all.

Is that ref stupid ?!?! .. WATCH THE PLAYER AND GET OUT HIS ROAD !!!!

Thanks for sharing this was so informative on lots of level 👌

Played the game but never good enough for the set skills needed for staying around the black spot but will definitely improve your game as all round snooker player

My favourite shot. That'll be to my temple if I watch anymore

For people who find watching grass growing is far too exciting.

How on earth was this game invented

Very skilful and therefore impressive, but at the same time so repetitive and therefore boring 😮

No wonder they invented snooker after this 🤣 Very skillful but quite boring to watch 🥱

If you think Pankaj must be bored sitting there trying to maintain concentration in case Mike makes a mistake...just imagine how Joe Chapman felt, while Tom Reece - and bearing in mind neither man was each other's favourite person exactly - set about on his break of 499,135 (unfinished)... (oh, and about halfway through I think it was, he'd occasionally turn round to Joe and say, 'how'd you find the table's playing, Joe? What sort of chalk do you use?') 😅

1st to 1250, hell for a snooker fan!!!

People commenting that this is boring simply have no idea what they're watching. Now, it's not your fault if you're unfamiliar with the game and therefore don't realize what incredibly subtle levels of skill are being demonstrated, but it just looks sadly ignorant to declare the game "boring" instead of enquiring as to what you're not seeing. A bit of curiosity will enrich the experience of almost anything.

Could imagine John Virgo doing a great commentary on this "Where's the cue ball going."

😴 5 minutes is all I could take (can’t believe I lasted that long 😂) this is unbelievably boring 😴😴😴😴 I’m off to watch some paint drying 😴

I consider myself a person who likes a slow burner of a frame or match in snooker, as in the tactical side but this is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The ref walking in front of him every second shout is sending me, let the player past and then take the ball out sweet Jesus

What are the rules? Never followed this at all

Rumour has it that there is a billiard table just outside the Pearly Gates of Heaven and only the winner of the game gets in. Many challenge but few succeed. Who is this perfect player with the touch of a god that keeps them away ?

May admire the skill but Jesus h Christ this is utterly boring to watch - I’m talking as a snooker player myself and I couldn’t sit through watching this for ten minutes let alone 30+ 😅

He doesn’t like the ref lol

Stupidest game I’ve ever witnessed.

Super impressive but can see why it never took off as a spectator sport

Skilful but doesn't make for good watching.

My father used to tell me that to be a good snooker player i first need to be a better billiard player (to learn control of the cue ball and to understand the angles need to make the next shot easier). Turns out he was right all along and how i wish I had listened to his pearls of wisdom.

I learnt today that billiards at its best is cue sports at its worst.

My wife took me down from the blue rope 😂😂😂

I could probably do very well at this game . I can go in off at will ….

Absolute bollocks

I love this game... If you have a match where the player managed to position the ball on two cushions near the pocket and made endless cannons please put a link

The last shot he could easily have made a cannon... But I guess he just said heck with it... I need to sit

Genuine question from a snooker player ignorant to the rules of billiards. What denotes the end of a player's visit to the table? I was quite surprised watching this when no pot or in-off were made and yet the guy stayed at the table.

I nodded off watching this.

Very very skillful if playing at a high level i remember players like rex Williams great touch players

I don't understand that game

I remember playing pool in the Czech Republic. Got shouted at by a Czech because I was using an English bridge rather than a Czechy/American ie a ring by your finger version. Went on to tell me about Czech union of pool players and how everyone has do it this way. I just told him to**** off!

All that & misses such an easy red...

I'm sure this takes incredible skill but sport is supposed to be about entertainment right? Why on earth would anyone pay to watch this? Some simple rule changes would do wonders. You need rules that put as much distance between the balls as possible so that cannons are much harder. How about when you pot the red it is then placed at the furthest spot from the yellow ball? I don't know, I'm sure there's plenty that could be done to bring it in to the 21st century.

Wat a.simple cheating way to play

The first time I played it I was still shaking having just run the bulls in Pamplona. A fascinating game, especially when a good player seems to be out of position.

Great game to play, not so great to watch

22:05, beautiful

Now make a 147. Oh wait ….

India

No one knows your tellent made 1139, 1125, 1134, 1152, 1312, 1276, thank you for your legand of game simply sansactional. Feeling at top of the table keep faith and honesty highest level trust in your self and make it up for once again ❤❤❤❤❤ I involve in my high standard. Not in my hard time threw. Let's enjoy friends

Amazing 🤩 simply amazing 🤩

A lot of repetition in a break like this. I find it quite boring to watch and much prefer snooker

lousy sport.

Absolutely brilliant video. It is incredible that any amateur player could be that good at any age but to still be that good in his seventies is almost beyond credibility.

One of best player in the world.

I have my ear plugs in to listen while I reproduce every shot. Wow my game has picked up at least 40 extra points at top of table with the knock method. So thankyou very much for putting this video out there for all to learn from.
