- 2010 World Billiard Championships - FINAL - at the PVC Hindu Gymkhana Club, at Pune, in India ... Mike Russell (UK) plays wonderful 'top of the table' Billiards against the brilliant Peter Gilchrist (Singapore) who himself has had breaks of 1,346 (New Zealand 2007) and in 2014 in Ireland another 1000 (exact).
In the 6 hour 'timed format' World Billiard FINAL, Mike Russell had earlier breaks of 281, 324, 281, 420, 88, 265 ... then on his 16th visit to the table, he gets the above highest break in the Tournament of 1,137 ... magnificent ... only to follow that in his next (17th) visit with a 735, and yet another 439 on his 27th visit. Mike's average of ... 158.5 points per shot for the 6 hours is incredible.
Thanks to "S Fan" for suppling some of the above info.
For all Billiard & Q-Sport players this is a 'much watch'.

So sad to see that billiards is like jazz music it takes decades to master yet the audience is so tiny
Hmm? I rather think the audience for Jazz is far, far larger! Much as I love Billiards!
@@adrianwright8685 I am a classical musician so I speak with years of experience jazz has very little audience if u goto a jazz concert and see 1000 people maybe 2 of then will actually understand it
@@NylonStrings83 What's to understand? Either you like - enjoy - it or you don't.
@@adrianwright8685Well, I agree somewhat. All art can be immediately appreciated in some way. However I do think that some form of education and understanding can heighten any enjoyment of said art. Think of Poetry in a language you don't speak - of course, you may love the sounds of the language, the rhythm, etc. but you'd have no idea what the words actually mean and you are therefore missing out on an entire dimension of artistry that you could've tapped into had you made the effort to learn the language beforehand. Now I'm not saying that music or visual arts are exactly comparable to language, as their intrinsic "meaning" is somewhat more abstract, but I hope you see the point I'm trying to make
Followed it up with a 735 at his next visit, this is from a contemporary report in the Deccan Herald: "Russell trounced Gilchrist 4120-784 in the six-hour long Time Format final at the PYC Hindu Gymkhana here. Russell scored breaks of 281, 324, 281, 420, 88, 265 before achieving the biggest break of the tournament -- a stunning 1137 -- on the 16th visit. Russell followed it up with another break of 735 on his next visit and mustered 439 on the 27th visit to finish the final with an average of 158.5"
He is legand of game
@@sfan3725 need pankaj advani in the tornament I'm wondering would Russell dismantle the Indian player so seemingly easy
@maryryan9464 He beat Pankaj 1417-1300 in a 4hr semi to reach that final, the 2010 IBSF World Billiards Championship
@@sfan3725 nice of u to pick that result but something tells me there's more to the rivalry between the two
@maryryan9464 What two? Russell and Gilchrist or Russell and Advani? Plenty of footage of both combos on TH-cam, just a shame that Russell hasn't played competitively at a high level since the 2019 Worlds in Australia. He was entered in the WCs in Singapore in '22 but withdrew, along with the Indian contingent after a spat between Ruling Bodies.
Great stuff with an appreciative commentary by fellow 1000-break man Michael Ferreira. Thanks for uploading, S.
Who is the commentator ? I like his style . Thank you for uploading this.
Indian Michael Ferreira, himself a 1000+ break player
@@waynecareybilliards4635 Thank you for the answer. (I should have watched the whole match before I asked that ) What a break , that was!
@@waynecareybilliards4635 I'm just now reading issues of Snooker Scene from the 1970s and '80s - edited of course by the great player Clive Everton - and Michael's consistency in the top tournaments is quite something! It seems like he never allowed his game to fall below a certain level, a bit like Stephen Hendry in snooker, not necessarily always firing at 10 out of 10, but never below 6! 6 being more than enough to account for most players...
1000 in about 61 minutes - 16.4/min. Say about 2.5 points per shot - about 9.1 secs per shot - Billiards is a quick game!
Why don't players do in-off's any more?
The breathing and the mouth noises were driving me crazy had to turn the volume completely off.
Thanks for uploading Wayne, Im a younger generation fan from Melbourne :)
Is it just me of does Mike play more drag shots than most players? I know Steve Mifsud plays a lot of them.
He’s just repeating every time , looks easy but far from it
Every so often he repositions the white ball closer to black spot and away from cushion so he can continue to repeat the process
'This is the very champagne of billiards; and those who are fortunate enough to be present here will be rewarded.'
In cue sports, commentators of this ability have been as rare as oxygen atop Mount Everest; snooker had John Pulman and Clive Everton, and today has Dominic Dale, and billiards is blessed to have Michael Ferreira.
@@danielkarmy4893 Clive commentates the 2016 Billiards WC semis and final, a masterclass of commentating and knowing the value of silence. Search for Litetask 2016 Billiards.
5:48 and already seeing artistry.
DANGER! : Genius at work!
Know
Grabs the popcorn!
why can't I hear the referee counting the score?
You can't hear the sound of the balls either. That's cause the only audio feed is of the commentator.
Because you get to watch along with Michael Ferreira instead!
for extended periods of absolute concentration there is not much to compare with Billiards!
1:06:01 quite a nice size audience there - wish we got crowds like that in UK! (or anywhere else for that matter)
Nowadays even the spectators no a lot more than years before
Wasn’t snooker , billiards founded in India or was it China years and years ago
Believe its founded in india by the British if recollect the story from Steve Davis that produced it some time ago
Top class.
Geet Sethi made 1246 under 3-pot rule i think.
Mike Ferreira made 1149 under 5-pot rule i think.
Mike Russell made his 1137 under no baulkline Xing rule.
Likewise Peter Gilchrist with his 1346 i think & his 1000 i think had no baulkline Xing rule.
Walter Lindrum's 4137 had say 2500 pts due to say 1250 nursery cannons, & say 1647 pts due to tott play & all-round play.
so what's the highest with a baulkline rule?
@@adrianwright8685
In recent years i think it is Russell's 950 or sumsuch.
@@atheistaetherist2747 So there has never been a 1000 break with the baulkline rule?
Maybe that's a good thing - makes the game more competitive.
When a spectator goes to watch, I think he would rather see both players play, than only one. Just my opinion.
@@kufujitsu In the oldendays both players sometimes made a 1000 break. And if a player was on a big break the place was packed next day.
@@atheistaetherist2747 Yeah, I understand that. I wouldn't mind going to the local club to see a 1,000 break in competitive play myself. I'm just saying that the baulkline rule has helped to make the game more of a competitive sport for the viewers.
Mike is a grate player who has been playing very nice and he was so special
Got some paint drying here …..more interesting than this 🙄
go watch your paint then or see how you do playing billiards---it just isn't that easy ===clown!
