Thanks paulisi, mjd
Would love to see him make the MD, though even the fact that he's competing in Qualies is great :)
Break down at 1-3 in the 2nd at the moment
You feel Richard would have to win in 2 here. Something quite heroic if he somehow did come through the draw would be a good story.
Yes, always looked like going away from him after Dustov took the 2nd. Decent effort by all accounts to take a set off a seeded player, just a shame Bloomers couldn't grind it out in two
