That was the table on Selbys shot and it was the red along the cushion he debated playing, if he missed it he would have left it over the pocket, other 4 reds open and easy go get onto the black with and would have lost the frame and match

Six minutes for one shot is a disgrace. It's not even a position where it requires much thought. He probably ended up playing the first shot he thought of.

Again I disagree.
Had he gone for the pot and nissed it was match over.
He said afterwards he had brain freeze as it was such a key moment.
It was one shot and his AST for the match was still 24 seconds.
Far to much is being made of 1 shot
And no he didnt play the 1st shot he thought of, as I said in the original comment it was the red along the cushion he debated
I like Se!by and I don't subscribe to the view that he is a slow player. But 6 minutes for any shot is unacceptable and when it's simply a choice of which pot to take on it's even worse. There is no justification for it.

We will have to agree to disagree.
But we will never know as we will never be in that position what we would do, 1 ranking event win in 14 months for someone who i used to winning events, the £1 million prize still within reach but one miss and u are out, to say its unacceptable for 1 shot is not correct in that position.

I disagree Paulie, a shot should never take 6 minutes. Regardless of whether his average was still reasonable that is a joke.
Firstly look at that table I could instantly play the right middle closest ball, if attacking. If not play of the red on the right and go up for a safety. It's not even that tricky, I understand he can leave one on but he played it long in the end which just shows he was too indecisive which cant have helped. Ronnie has hit a 147 quicker than that
I like Selby but 6minutes for one shot lol that's terrible for the game.
For balance I generally play as quick as Ronnie anyway both at snooker and pool, even when I feel like ive taken a while before I've watched back and its still only an extra 5 seconds lol

Cahill another good win in the first, seems to rise to the occasion in these so called ' top events' , obviously beating Ronnie recently and Selby last year?
Brecel dipped again, he got his act together around a season ago but cant seem to get anything going again.
Did the UK used to be longer races? or have I imagined it, I prefer the longer format personally but at least race to 6 isn't too short... I know they shortened it years ago but I cant remember when.
