  • John Spenser said this could be the frame of the championship, what an understatement, got to be the best break ever and the truth of the matter is only Higgins could have pulled it off.If you d'ont believe me try it yourselft without any pressure.

  • The best snooker players in the world should always leave themselves simple pots

    =============================

    True. However this was in the early days of televised snooker. After a long session of snooker the table was playing very quickly (even by today's standards).

    A lot of Alex's (and Jimmy's) shots went out of position due to the call ball going a few inches further than expected.

  • Best frame Ever!

  • Not from a statistical standpoint but from a pure talent perspective he was the best ever. A great potter with a great safety game. Plus his showmanship was Ali-esque. RIP.

  • the break of 19 was so hardly fought!!

  • @0114owl1867 I've seen neil robertson play that shot. It takes the most ridiculous cue power. Way beyond us mere mortals!

  • haha 69

  • Best break ever surely.

  • disable or reduce the volume of the right side audio, to get rid of most of the chinese rant!!!

  • still ckassic!! ye i watched again! hee hee

  • i am new to snooker , people said he uses a bad (high) stance

    but in the video it seems he is having a really low stance?
