And for those of you watching in black and white, the pink is next to the yellow!

Something along those lines.

It's going in the pocket, John. Calm down!

Ronald doing well in the quarters, and Judd Trump is smashing The Thunder from Down Under 6-2 after the first session.

He is right-handed but can play to a very high standard with his left hand and routinely alternates where needed. While not quite possessing the same power in his left arm, being ambidextrous enables him to attempt shots with his left hand that would otherwise require awkward cueing with a rest or spider.[267]

When he first displayed this left-handed ability in the 1996 World Championship against Alain Robidoux, the Canadian accused him of disrespect. O'Sullivan responded that he played better with his left hand than Robidoux could with his right.[268] He was summoned to a disciplinary hearing in response to Robidoux's formal complaint, where he had to prove that he could play to a high level with his left hand. He played three frames of snooker against former world championship runner-up Rex Williams, winning all three. The charge of bringing the game into disrepute was subsequently dropped.

Australia's world No.1 snooker player Neil Robertson has become the first man to make 100 century breaks in a single season.

Australian world No.1 Neil Robertson secured a remarkable slice of snooker history, completing a "ton of tons" as he reached the world championships semi-finals.

Robertson rallied strongly to beat Judd Trump 13-11 in Wednesday's quarter-final at The Crucible in Sheffield, in the process becoming the first man in the history of the sport to amass 100 century breaks in a single season.

In a feat some snooker commentators believe may never be repeated, the Australian demolished the previous record of 61, set by Trump last season. China's Ding Junhui has also surpassed Trump's mark this season, with 62 centuries.

A century break refers to a player scoring 100 points or more within one visit to the table, without missing a shot.

Robertson looked certain to notch his 100th century in his previous round win over Mark Allen but failed to pot a straight-forward black ball in what he put down to a case of the nervous nineties.

After a scrappy start to his semi-final on Tuesday Robertson made amends in the third and final session on Wednesday night, racking up the historic 100 as he levelled the match at 11-11.

"I felt like Brian Lara on 390 odd trying to push a single!," cricket lover Robertson tweeted after the match.

"What an amazing match and a wonderful milestone to achieve during such and important time in the match. Thank you so much everyone!"

After reaching the milestone, Robertson wildly pumped his fists and raised his arms to the crowd.

The mid-match celebration may have raised a few eyebrows among the sport's traditionalists but Robertson defended it saying he'd only done so because he'd earlier been introduced to the crowd as being "99 not out".

Robertson gallantly fought back from 6-2 and 9-6 down to set up a semi-final against Mark Selby, who beat Alan McManus 13-5, and close in on a second world title following his triumph in 2010.

Won't happen. If your aussie does reach the final he will be beaten. He will fight, be he will be beaten.

think he will be beaten and a
Selby- O'Sullivan final
and dare i say a Selby win.

Ronnie not being pressed hard at all and making the odd silly miss. Needs more of a challenge.
Roberston Selby too cagey. One of them needs to get a bit angry.

Ronnie is in third gear. Wait until he gets to the final.

hows the aussie goin?

Anyone's game. A Selby, O' Sullivan final would be fab.

Outside bet on Ronald losing the plot and smashing up the crucible.
