James Wattana v Jimmy Michie 1996 World Championship. Rd 1.

For pool, this is a first round match between James Watt Anar and Jimmy Mickey. A first round to decide who moves on to the next round and of course the winner of this will play Nigel Bond, last year's runner up James Watt and AH. in the bed classification he was in the semi-final here in the big game 93 68 against Jimmy White as for Jimmy Mickey from Ponte frak well, he's a newcomer, that's the man who arrived with style, the car he had about half mile long and his best performance in the quarterfinals of the Skoda Grand Prix and then on the way to the crucible he knocked out Andy Hicks, he was a semi-finalist last year and no one wanted to meet Andy Hicks and Jimmy Mickey took charge well armed for his first session. the score was five.

Jimmy Mickey did very well as they approached their final session today. James Montana took first and tied it, so five, all between what Anna and Mickey framed. 11 Jimmy Mickey to break the margin net standing there. in charge and in the comedy box John Spencer and Clive Everton well that's another mistake from Jimmy, my payment is a little higher than he didn't in the previous box. Jim might have regained his trust now, that's the difference when you and the time to settle in, it doesn't seem like the blank Jeff expects no, it doesn't open like that the blue dot.

Not James, who has reached only one quarter-final, four last six teenagers in the previous nine seasons. The ranking events are a disappointing return for a player who started the season ranked number five, sixteen 17 24 25, this could have made the group there. I think, rightly so, playing for the Alton red, it leaves an angle now in the light to enter today on pike 33. Well, the way it developed, either it has a plant or the red just below the pink will go , you know, it looks like it's the two reds, Baltic James, which is enough, this is a mistake and, in its own way, it should have been better in the black. that this, although he should still get it, yes, but the usual when you run, there is a position like this, the next shot becomes more difficult, it does not seem that Jimmy can prepare with another one to the right of the ping, so Now he is analyzing the possibility of creating a plant other than to make it flush, but not too far can be done, but you better get it and of course the only advantage of this shot is that Jimmy will screw the bulb back in, oh well!

It's too good a job screwing the ball, so now I said try to roll to the brown and this is not simple. No, Jimmy McKee. Terrible mistake by Jimmy, that he should have won the first frame and is simply how to convert. a good opportunity at this, what honor certainly faltered this afternoon, but he little by little he is gaining confidence. Eight, listen, no, the Scheldt where Jimmy tried to hide behind the brown, it was always going to be difficult to play pool in all the colored remains, certainly. should have covered the right half of the table 50 sixteens so just one more random black and required 24 it's amazing to scale what that little bit of confidence can do doesn't look like the same player who played the first frame it was very reassuring in its own way Did you want to win the first frame after having played so badly?

He has played better in this streak. 3230 made a mistake. If he starts playing very well, he could escape with this match. 30 knots forty points 46 46 on the Frank What's next? like he's crazy, he takes the first two frames of the day to lead by six frames to five, he's having a good girl after noon because he's tenth the next two, plus, seven five, then eight five, and I can tell you that all the people watching in Thailand when I mean, I'm talking thirty million, everyone's tuned in, it's going live here this afternoon, it's about one in the morning, the green carry will go down if the guy is 8/5 up and after what.

You never see what happens in frame fourteen, it's in progress, but there it is, boy, and it's right behind by 13 points. Well, John, you've been advising James Watt and this year, why do you think he's missing so many long balls? That's why Clive I'm warning you that you won't pass the black, of course, you pass the brown six. I mean, I said pink is available so that can help Jimmy at some stage, yeah, seven thirteen, sing the group and stay red until the middle. certainty, yes, and I'm here to distribute them better 20 well, I can't believe the shotty played 26 as Clive said a moment ago, Red Roof's distribution didn't need to go into the package 26 Jimmy, although I suppose it's unfortunate that Red went over the corner pocket, it was all his doing, you could have put together a frame winner with the Reds open, meanwhile I think James left it open, it's a little straight on this green, oh James What is enough for you to miss it? a mustache, yes, and it ends up in the worst position for Jimmy, everything else, one can, James, reach the blanket, it doesn't seem like it, so let go of the rainbow, what James, what is enough in silence, no green over the corner pocket doing the safety trades. much easier the curtain rises in the middle of the arena the session at the other table is over that is an advantage for the spectators who have paid for their seats to see the other game at this time Jimmy has to be careful not to Canon them one runs to the other and not the green on James which is enough for good I was quite surprised that he wasn't more careful with that good again a push from James I'm going to get a long yellow on almost every ball after he was attacked from away like that boat to his left, he cut it too much or poor Jimmy Mickey, yeah, well, the way and Jimmy played for it Randy like it was an easy part, but he was never going to fail the simple, so they are In another piece to get James back into the picture, a chibby Mickey beat semi-finalist Andy Hicks here last year in the last qualifying round, but he didn't beat him playing like this in eight.

No, meanwhile, he's 23 points ahead and I think. you'll have another visit to the table, those to read near the writing pad will cause a little trouble for Ames sixteen 23 23 James, how nice again in the frame, but this is still a very rude thing so it's enough, don't put your money on him for the title in this performance, yeah he doesn't hit that 100 miles an hour and I don't know why, I guess you have to say he was lucky he didn't make it any easier for Jimmy, having said he might not. you seem easy has not achieved the angle in the pink, so he will leave it as the six difficult, well, this is possible, which is not easy, so, from a blind pocket, this yellow and green now requires 30 fifteen, it is not so bad that it can hit. the center of the white ball but it was a very bad shot to develop the brown when I didn't need it yes now I'm in town Dover saw Jimmy do that today I just ran out of position at the vital moment three I'm I had no chance of getting to the brown there and didn't have the angle, so I think the white should be somewhere behind the three black ones.

James, enough. McKey only needs the brown one. Yes, will he be tempted here? I don't think he should. Being brown should be in the middle of the bowl cushion, that's great, so I still feel very confident. An extravagant finish until the 14th when he needed to win the game. He still doesn't lead, although by eight frames to six it was a difficult start. Next up is frame 15, but then what and the cue arm shot into a very good sixty break to pull one away from the win as first round in nine sixes and he's ahead here in the next number sixteen one day seven eight. and again Jimmy just runs out of position on the wrong side of the blue after entering and exiting volume 14 90 no need to pass the blue.

I'm putting this red 20 I need money randomly in the blank space, we'll put it in the right The corner was that the wine was going 26 when planting that red, it developed another 31. Now it's important to get an angle with the rosé to get into those three reds and that's almost perfect, thirty-eight, so you have 22 points ahead and a lot of work. There is still a lot to do to win the frame. It's a good shot when you deserved a better result. Well, are you thinking about playing cutter with the long tackle? No doubt you won't be surprised once he has the drill bit between his teeth.

There's a pretty good Cutlass. Well the first thing you need to do is make sure the tail stays on the extension, you don't want it to fly away yeah, but I think I cut it off and as you can see I turned it on and no damage was done. by touching yellow and green and says safe positions for 30 points in front learn to follow so smoothly that virtually you will need a lot, you mean make forty-nine jokes, which is enough for Dekes could change it, but he needed that chip, chip the ball white almost in her chair.

After that foul, what time McKeon came out again, a nice safe he hit to Sookie Rabbit, there's a much better shot than it looked, those are probably the hardest shots, but James is now finishing with a cushion of harder veneer, well, that was a great shot. I played the double kiss. I certainly didn't think it through. This painting is far from incident-free, but I don't know what Ricky was trying to do there. It wasn't easy that red, but he is still 26 ahead in the box he needs. to save the match here is a great shot to hit the red C&C deflected it some distance the fullness of course to put it in ended up very well in the pink so now only this red requires leaving gems even sneakers seven Jimmy McKee and still it continues too One thing's for sure, Clive, this has to be the frame of Scrappy's tournament so far, but there are plenty of candidates for this match, the second worst, although it has had its moments in terms of entertainment.

Tricky billiards to hit here from the ball pad because the Brown seems to be in the shape of playing with the left side, yes it is very important that Jimmy hits this because if he hits it it means that James needs at least a pink or a black from the right to win the frame, we have to hit that straight. that was the only way, oh you mean to make you fall into the lead by 37 with only 35 on the table, so the orc Sherman seems to throw a frame back, saw the reading, too many slippers required so Anna, What's safe, is there one in the frame?

Jimmy Mickey Jimmy Mickey wins the frame to stay in a match for rotten James they are still leading by nine frames to serve you two on three to play it all to keep it simple James knees one to get into the second round well and the next Jimmy Mickey Had a good start, a break of 38 and I came back and that's what Anna at the table is on the scoreboard and he's hit the green for an hour, he can't stay on the brown from there. Green, therefore, is not worth trying. this below looks like the snooker wizard and James Watt and he just seems to have the advantage in his safety pot on the green here I won't have much control over this they will be happy with that when for the double safety if he missed he would have been in the brown if I had it right now closed now push the pink out so it really looks like a green ball game what and I can go to the green but its long game there is no place today well what Much of Jimmy built certainly didn't see it now, you can see it from near the side cushion, but he hit it too well, so he needs another hole.

It would be an extremely good shot to pop the brown and get to the blue, so you can choose to play it safe here, don't think this is the time we took a risk, big Jimmy Mickey, well what was the point of that? Because he wouldn't have been in the blue, yeah, I think it's kind of a lack of experience. four points wouldn't have made any difference in the game, well it looks like Jam is fine, they decided I think to play a safety shot, he was looking at one point, making the cut to the right and the center went for the game and the match there towards the corner, it went well, yeah, I don't think he's been working on your philosophy, Clive, we're going straight enough, you should get one eventually.
