"Controversial shot for me" S. Hendry | Jack Lisowski vs ...

Yeah, and once again, just coming off the, into the bottom of the cluster, and this time it looks like he may have left a possible pot. Yeah, in a way I'm glad, I think that time that was a bad shot to play, I mean that's not professional snooker to me, that shot. I always feel with this shot, you've got to avoid hitting the red four in the face, and he avoided that, well if he's not anything, that is so unlucky. Yeah, well played. I'm sorry, I don't agree with it, and it could well cost him the frame, which I'm sure he thought there was no chance he was going to leave anything on. Yeah, but I agree with you, apart from everything else, we are in the business of entertainment, and for me, I mean when you get an opportunity like that to open the reds, if you can get a good cue ball back in the ball, can you put your opponent under a bit of pressure? It's rolling in from behind, you don't gain any advantage. That'll please the crowd. You can't pot everything, but that was a superb break, and well, I was saying for five, he'll be questioning his safety, got two negative, Jack Lasowski leads 5-2. Yeah, it was a bit of a controversial shot, this, for me, I don't agree with it at all. Okay, doing it off the break is one thing, but you know, as a professional snooker player, you've got to back yourself to play a good safety here, get a good cue ball, try and open the reds up a little bit. I understand the reason for it, but at the end of the day, it's cost him the frame. Nice little pot, wasn't it, this? Yes, it certainly was, and it just shows you this game. Just the slightest mistake, would you believe that there was 100 on there, and he'd be sat in his seat for the rest of the frame after that? It is wet and miserable in York. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, the first frame. He had a good win last match, oh, here we go, that red going towards the middle again, Stephen. Yeah, I'm expecting a good attacking match tonight, I don't think any of these players like to waste much time, tactical battles, containing safety shots, they like to get on with it. Yeah, and I think there's an example of the mindset of Hussain Mufaiye, purposely leaving Jack a clear run at this red in the balk end, and now the frame can get back to a bit of normality. I'm a little bit surprised in that shot, I thought he could have played off a red and left a cue ball in the black cushion without leaving a possible pot, there, Jack, a little bit negative. He can. Look at these, they've just gone straight in the heart of the pocket. Not the best break off. Well, this is just, it's just magic. Trying to get back to balk, you've got to be very accurate here. Blue and green in the way, and that's why he didn't want to risk it. He was outrageous. I think that's one of the best shots I've ever seen. Well, he joins us, as Jack's eyeing up this red. Chance to get on the black, and he is on the black. It's one of those nights, everything is going in, and everything is going well. Well, there you go. That's a new one. But it's, it's not as, I remember when Mark Williams was doing that, it's not as negative as it at first looks, because now Hussain Mufaiye can put the cue ball to balk and we're back to normal again. Yeah, it only takes a couple of shots to sort it out. We'll be hoping for more of the same in the second session of this match, because the first four frames were very entertaining. Obviously reluctant to play off the main bunch of reds. The player wants to leave a sniff at a pot here at the moment. You want to go just to the right of the pink as we look. And you don't need to play this with a lot of pace. That's okay. 20 seconds. Average shot time, but that's missed. Oh, by quite a long way. Chance for a counter attack. Can Jack get through to this red? Oh, wow. Don't want to do that much harm. You break your cue. Not happy. Yeah. Once again, just coming off the, into the bottom of the cluster. In a way, I'm glad. That time, that was a bad shot to play. I mean, that's not professional snooker to me. That shot. Oh, this black's tough. Oh, fabulous shot. Fabulous shot. Played it nicely. Just trying to pinch a bit, play it with pace. Well, not too much, but surprising miss. I thought the cue was going to get a bang, but he thought better of it. Oh, dear. Oh, and look where the yellow's going, right over the pocket. The cue, Hussain's, went on the floor there in disgust. Yes, and it goes. You've just got to hold your hands up and say, well played. Yeah, it's been one of the performances of the tournament so far. And frame, and the match, and Jack Nozalski. It was absolutely awesome in nearly part of this match. He can continue that form. He won't be a danger to anybody. As soon as to the quarterfinal, he wins by six frames to two.
