I wonder if Bloomers is still having problems with that injury.

That's what I was wondering too. Hopefully he's just a bit rusty, will come through this match and play more convincingly next time.

Fantastic win for Alan, I said to you yesterday I thought he had a fair chance, but thrilled by that win!

Equally suprised Richard has struggled like this. Now 0-30

Sheddie · administrator

Grrrr, Bloomers in another hole: 0-30

*6-6 0-30

Sheddie · administrator

This match must be having the most incredible long rallies, it's been at 0-30 for about 5 minutes now !

Bladetiger · Pro player

No way that this has just been long rallies, I reckon trainer's been on, and fearing Richard's shoulder might be cramping up!
