Yesterday, I saw Ronnie O'Sullivan's absolutely amazing comeback from 2:8 to 8:8 (in a game played until 9 wins), only to end in a 9:8 for Higgins after O'Sullivan gave up just one snoker down (why?). If Higgins survived that onslaught, I wonder if Ding has a chance at all. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
...is that the game that (seemed to me, anyway) an odd cross between billiards and pin-ball? "Beware of the man who does not talk, and the dog that does not bark." Cheyenne
A very relieved Higgins told BBC Sport: "There is nothing more frightening than Ronnie coming back at you when he's in full flow. "I was just sitting there and thinking if I get a chance take it. You can't take liberties with Ronnie. "At 8-2 in front you might think that against anybody else."

Yes indeed... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Meanwhile, I see Ding-Higgins ended the afternoon session 4:4 -- it could be a long night. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
