    WST: The Statistics

    Global TV audience
    500 million people
    120 countries
    1.6 billion households

    etc

    @paulie8290
    Not doubting your expertise on snooker, but how can there be 1.6 billion households but only half a billion people watching?
    Do all of these people own three houses?
    Or are there over a billion households tuned in to snooker with no one watching?

    Not being funny, but are those numbers right? Maybe I’m misunderstanding something?

    TBH I copy and pasted that whole story from the WST website about the rebranding, I didn't come up with the numbers haha

    I should point out Neil Robertson is donating £100 for every century made to the Australian Bush fires

    Both players had their chance in the 3rd frame, but its Perry who takes it and takes a 2-1 lead, 1 more before the interval

    Ding in 1st in the 5th but Perry got the chance and made a 71 break to win the frame and take a 3-2 lead and go ahead for the 3rd time.

    Tight match and still to close to call

    Matching Perry in the last frame it's a break of 71 that gives Ding frame 6 and its 3-3

    Selby? You had the frame?

    Selby somehow threw the first frame away.

    Think it was my fault for shouting come on Mark twice

    What a big frame that could have been, Carter gets 61 and misses Selby clears up and makes it 3-2

    Neil Robertson took the first 2 frames with ease.

    There 3rd frame could have gone either way, but Robertson took a 40 minute frame to go 3-0 ahead

    This shot was in the last frame.

    Still amazed by it, firstly how the red even went in, secondly how the white ended up in as well lol.

    Robertson as bemused as everyone else.
