Hello and welcome to highlights from the world championships. The | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
third trophy of the week was of for grabs in the final of the Ladies | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :00:56. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds | :00:56. | :01:45. | |
Yes, its former champion Alison Merrien in her 4th final up, up | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
against a local girl, Rebecca Field. It is time for the lady's world | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
matchplay title. Alison Merrien is contesting her 4th singles final | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
beer. She was the runners-up twice before she got the better of Karen | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Murphy. The Channel Islander will be looking to build her consistency | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
in the ring. North of's own Rebecca Field is making her first final | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
appearance and will certainly have the local support. Field edged past | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Kerry Packwood in a great advert for women's bowls. Can she produced | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
her a game for the second consecutive day on the big stage? | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
The experience and Arthur's of Merrien against youth and ambition. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
It has all the makings of another cracking encounter. This is proving | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
cracking encounter. This is proving to be a superb final. Rebecca took | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
the first set but the 2011 champion came back to take the second set | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
meaning that this went to a tie- break. | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
Now, tie-break, rules changed slightly for this. Three N so. | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
Whoever wins the end is sufficient. When we get to the third end you | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
can destroy the end and we play it. That is the only time in the match | :03:07. | :03:17. | |
:03:17. | :03:44. | ||
you can do that. So, a slightly is understandable. Both girls very | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
:03:55. | :04:23. | ||
anxious to get their hands on the the line is very good for Alison. | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Just need to run to make the jack. I agree, the line was absolutely | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
perfect. That is going to kill that hand for her. Seven inches. The | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
problem is the accuracy. These two girls are so good now that really | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
anything within five or six inches may not be good enough. You are | :04:46. | :04:56. | |
:04:56. | :05:03. | ||
This will be an attacking ball, Alison is pushing it with a bit of | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
weight. No point even attempting to draw it. | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
She has the last ball. Move it into the open and take your chances. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
I am surprised she's playing beforehand. Should that is the | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
forehand drive. She has got a great strike. Day you go, that is the way | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
to deal with those things. perfect strike. She plays the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
weight shot very heavily. Probably the heaviest of the women players | :05:31. | :05:41. | |
in terms of the power where she generates for the weight shot. Now, | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
where are we going with her that jack? For it has not been put down | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
yet. I was wondering where it was, she was clearing the debris out of | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
:06:00. | :06:13. | ||
does she not likely? The line looks good. I think it is slightly short. | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
I tell you what, that is pretty close. That is very close. What we | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
she worried about? The body language suggested she did not like | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
it. We can see from our commentary position which is directly below | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
the backhand that Alison, settle down folks, that is it. Settle down. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Will she take the ball or draw it? Oh, she will draw it. It has to be | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
a draw. She as 15 inches. Nonchalant! Much wider. Her road is | :06:47. | :06:55. | |
very good. It is all about pace. it is close for that as well. What | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
:07:05. | :07:05. | ||
a drop back to be sure. That is close. Yes that is a good ball. The | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
:07:15. | :07:17. | ||
hit and a recovery. This is great stuff, isn't it? Just brilliant. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
At times I watch things like the snooker and like all professionals | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
in other sports I think, this is fantastic what they can do with the | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
cue ball and the safety and everything and then you come here | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
and you see this and you think, and on, it is just the same. Yes, there | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
are a few men's games to come yet and they will not be as exciting as | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
:07:47. | :07:54. | ||
the opportunity on television to introduce new people to bowls. This | :07:54. | :08:04. | |
:08:04. | :08:34. | ||
is what it is all about. This is both players. Yes, just dropping in | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
:08:44. | :08:59. | ||
bit short on occasions. She is just making sure she is through with | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
this one. There is still room. Nobody feels as though they have | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
:09:14. | :09:26. | ||
got the shot yet. Beautiful action good. Didn't push through it. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Alison, you have a third opportunity to get one really close | :09:30. | :09:40. | |
:09:40. | :09:53. | ||
nervy end. Understandable. This is a chance for Rebecca. She should | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
stick to the backhand, there is no reason to change. But Alison will | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
be disappointed. She is tempted with the the 4th and because there | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
is a shoulder to play-off. She has played the backhand well. I would | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
expect her to be drawing this. The waiter looks better. Everything | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
looks good about this one. Everything looks good about this | :10:18. | :10:28. | |
:10:28. | :10:31. | ||
one. That is it. No. 1, she held her nerve. Played the back can. -- | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
backhand. On green. Now, Alison. She is not even coming to have a | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
look at this. Must just be the run- up. It is big. She likes it. Bowl- | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
out. She has got her own as well. Very unlucky to take her own ball. | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
It is going to be one to Rebecca Field. It will be 1-1. Second end | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
to Rebecca Field. A everything level. I can understand why Alison | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
played that. She was looking for the jack and she was unlucky. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
got the ball but unfortunately she took her own ball out as well. | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Would you believe it? It is going to go down to the last end. | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
Alison's mum. She has been with Alison fall of the championships. | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
Look at that! Steady up, Wayne! is more nervous than Rebecca. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
likely Keith -- he is like a kitten out there. I think it deserves a | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
last end. You know what it is like for family. With your wife and boys | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
here. It is more tense for the family than for the players on the | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
green. They are going nuts! Anyway, here we go. One end shoot-out for | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
:12:05. | :12:19. | ||
the ladies's world Bolton Paul needs to stop. It is not a bad | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
:12:29. | :12:32. | ||
who wins because both girls have been brilliant in this match. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
agree. Absolutely brilliant. Sometimes you come off the game and | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
you say, I deserve to win this. I do the either deserves more. They | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
both played really good. It is just to play this one could end. Neither | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
deserves to lose but best I is the nature of sport. -- This is the | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
:13:02. | :13:35. | ||
nature of sport. What Rebecca would little bit. They just need to | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
settle down. He looks so nervous, it is frightening. We need to get | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :14:05. | ||
him out in the championship to see Alison has two bowls to recover the | :14:05. | :14:15. | |
:14:15. | :14:32. | ||
shot. Oh, dear me! Rebecca's dad very nervous. They certainly have. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
It emphasises the importance of the championship. Both players have one | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
bowl each. There is Rebecca's dad. He is thinking, come on, I put you | :14:43. | :14:53. | |
through university. Payback time. Get this for me. She is really | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
:15:03. | :15:13. | ||
calming herself here. One very big it. When the player runs after it, | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
you know there is something good about it. She is still beyond it. | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
She has made a short one inch closer. -- she has made the shot | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
one inch closer. A bit of disturbance from the crowd, so | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
Alison will have to take her time. She has one foot to draw the shot. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
There is no drive, because the front bowl is killing that. She has | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
to settle herself. One bowl to win the championship for the second | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
:16:00. | :16:12. | ||
not like it. She knows she has not pushed it. This crowd is going to | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
erupt at the winner of the World Match Play Championship. A | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
marvellous game between two great players. Rebecca Field, 23 from | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
Norwich, her boy friend celebrating now. And Alison Merrien will be | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
disappointed, no doubt about it. She had her chances but it was a | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
marvellous game of bowls. Rebecca Field took the first set and lost | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
the second, but she took the tie- break all the way through. It is a | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
marvellous achievement. The 2013 Match Play Championship, Rebecca | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
:16:59. | :17:02. | ||
Well done to Rebecca Field who at 23 is the youngest to ever hold the | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
title. Commiserations to Alison Merrien, who has now been runner-up | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
three times. Time to focus on the men's singles and the remaining | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
matches in the last 16. First, Mark Royal against Robert Paxton. Ladies | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
:17:28. | :17:57. | ||
and gentlemen, Mark Royal and Mark Royal, against a man ranked | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
three places below him, Robert Paxton. Royal took the first set | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
convincingly and is in control in the second as we join the | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
:18:17. | :18:21. | ||
to make his way through to the quarter-finals. He might even be | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
happy to lose a single. Three up into the last end is good. Robert | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
:18:38. | :18:41. | ||
Paxton, realistically, has to score his slippers up for the rest of the | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
tournament, I think. -- getting his slippers out. He never gives up, | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
though. That is a good starter. knows if he could get a big three | :18:59. | :19:09. | |
:19:09. | :19:26. | ||
this end, it would put -- put a lot head and give yourself a chance to | :19:26. | :19:36. | |
:19:36. | :20:08. | ||
mark will be tempted, or whether he the head. He is at the back, and | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
that is pretty good. Interesting one from Robert Paxton. One bowl | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
goes into the ditch, but the other stays in place. It has given Robert | :20:23. | :20:33. | |
:20:33. | :20:42. | ||
it becomes a real problem for Mark Royal. The problem with playing a | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
weight shot is that it is great when you are successful but it | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
lands you in a lot of trouble if you miss. This is game on now. | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
should take time out there. This is an important bowl. It could win him | :20:57. | :21:07. | |
:21:07. | :21:24. | ||
the match. Yes, you do not want to reaction tells you everything. That | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
bowl was just overplayed in terms of weight, and now he is going to | :21:28. | :21:38. | |
see his lead disappear. Game on. The big bowl hear for Robert Paxton. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
He needed two a shot to give himself a chance. He is lying three | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :21:55. | ||
and has a bowl for four. Using his time out. Very sensible. Steady | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
yourself. Played the same bowl Again. Very important, this bowl, | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
:22:11. | :22:36. | ||
the 4th. Very close. Four shots to Robert Paxton. Four it is. From a | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
very strong position, Mark Royal sees himself into a heap of trouble. | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
The scores are level with one end to go in the second set. That is | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
absolutely incredible. That came from nowhere. Mark has been playing | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
so well. Having said that, full marks to Robert for putting the | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
:23:05. | :23:11. | ||
been scoring singles after singles, one, two, 3, four singles. 1 double, | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
not even a sniff of a three, never mind a four, and he got the full | :23:16. | :23:26. | |
:23:26. | :24:05. | ||
house exactly when he needed it. behind him. As you say, they must | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
:24:15. | :24:54. | ||
play this lack a tie-break end. So bad thing. I think Robert will go | :24:54. | :25:04. | |
:25:04. | :25:24. | ||
break, here we come. He is on top. There it goes. He is on top. | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
knew that was it. It is absolutely unbeatable. Mark Royal has got a | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
toucher, so he will try to pump the toucher into the ditch. This is a | :25:38. | :25:47. | |
:25:48. | :26:06. | ||
driver was. A really good end of toucher if he can, to block the way. | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:17. | ||
It is all very tactical now. Not enough. No chance of getting this | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
:26:27. | :26:27. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds | :26:27. | :27:29. | |
at the right angle, surely. One in won the second set, goes into the | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
tie-break feeling really good, on a high. Mark Royal realises he really | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
should be off the rink by now. He should be enjoying a nice cup of | :27:41. | :27:51. | |
:27:51. | :28:06. | ||
tea. But this man has fought back don't think you would dream of | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
getting a four and then burying the jack on the next end for a 1-get | :28:10. | :28:18. | |
into the tie-break. But we all start again now, the first to win | :28:18. | :28:28. | |
:28:28. | :28:28. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds | :28:28. | :29:08. | |
have to win this end, not covers the sport but Robert Paxton | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
has to get the ball a clean and there is still plenty of room to | :29:11. | :29:17. | |
draw the spot after but. That is one sport covered. Can't see the | :29:17. | :29:27. | |
:29:27. | :29:35. | ||
spot on the Mac but that is within inch-perfect. He is not bad. He is | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
better than not bad. I think he has done this. Yes, side toucher. There | :29:42. | :29:48. | |
it goes. That new spot position becomes very valuable to Mark Royal. | :29:48. | :29:58. | |
:29:58. | :30:02. | ||
He will attack it, try and get the Robert Paxton on the running balls | :30:03. | :30:12. | |
:30:13. | :30:30. | ||
selection, David. Drive the ball off the spot on the rink. You will | :30:30. | :30:36. | |
not draw closer than that. He has been so accurate. He is so accurate. | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
He has the respot covered with the other green ball. Yes, he is going | :30:40. | :30:47. | |
for it. It looks wide. That was good thinking. It was a good shot | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
to play because he could not be tough on the draw. It was a good | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
choice of shot. I don't in mock has hit to run all day. He needs to hit | :30:57. | :31:06. | |
one now. He hasn't. He has been off-target most of the match. | :31:06. | :31:12. | |
better this time. Incredible. me! Got the connection on the jack | :31:12. | :31:18. | |
and just jammed against a green one. Really unlucky Mark Royal. How on | :31:18. | :31:28. | |
:31:28. | :31:36. | ||
earth? He just got quarter inside. to Robert Paxton for the last few | :31:36. | :31:46. | |
:31:46. | :31:52. | ||
ends. More proof of it on the tie- the second end. If he wins this he | :31:52. | :31:59. | |
has done it the hard way. Not only the hard way, but to be truthful | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
with you on the scoring alone I think Mark Royal has been the more | :32:02. | :32:08. | |
consistent player. Definitely. that is not what it is about. It is | :32:08. | :32:14. | |
all about winning and he is a fighter, Robert Paxton. Sometimes | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
in a match you have to get down and dirty and get on with it and | :32:18. | :32:28. | |
:32:28. | :32:28. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds | :32:28. | :33:18. | |
ball will take the command. He keeps the extra pressure on. It is | :33:18. | :33:28. | |
:33:28. | :33:28. | ||
arriving a bit too quick. I would expect Robber to draw the shot. -- | :33:29. | :33:38. | |
:33:39. | :34:08. | ||
say it could be a touch quick. If You are a touch quick you will not | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
get back. A decent line to make it back. He knew he was a touch quick. | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
He would have made it right back into the centre rink but he was | :34:17. | :34:21. | |
over and he is going to have one bowl to save this match. I still | :34:21. | :34:28. | |
think that shot bowl is just not close enough. Robert Paxton, there | :34:28. | :34:32. | |
is no doubt about it he has scratched out a very good position | :34:32. | :34:40. | |
in this game. On many occasions he has been outplayed. But there are | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
times when you just have to get in there and scratch it out and fight | :34:44. | :34:50. | |
for the win. He has certainly done that, as you say, I think he also | :34:50. | :35:00. | |
:35:00. | :35:05. | ||
backhand. He can draw close on this and also get cover at the same time. | :35:05. | :35:14. | |
It is a 241 shot. He is good. He is very good. That could be the ball | :35:14. | :35:24. | |
:35:24. | :35:27. | ||
that -- that could be the bowl that and squeeze in his ball. The most | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
difficult shot to play on a portable rink. He cannot afford to | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
squeeze it too far because Robert has the last ball. Two inches to | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
save his world championship. Two inches to save his world | :35:43. | :35:52. | |
championship. No, he is not here. It is all here. Game, set and match | :35:52. | :35:56. | |
Robert Paxton. He really did get out of jail. He was on death row | :35:56. | :36:04. | |
and he got a lifeline. He won the tie-break. A great win by Robert | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
Paxton but Mark Royal, the world No. 7 goes out of the world | :36:10. | :36:16. | |
championships and Robert Paxton moves into the quarter-finals. | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
So congratulations to Robert Paxton who produced a remarkable comeback | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
and he is through to the quarter- finals. | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
Next up it is Nicky Brett against Phil Bennett. Nicky Brett won the | :36:28. | :36:38. | |
:36:38. | :36:59. | ||
first set comfortably and we joined He will do well to work that three | :36:59. | :37:06. | |
out of this. It is very difficult. Doing well to score a shot out of | :37:06. | :37:16. | |
:37:16. | :37:18. | ||
this one but he has to have a go at risen to the heights he played in | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
the first game. That is quite deliberate by the way, he wasn't | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
trying to go to the jack read, he was trying to go back and dig. He | :37:28. | :37:34. | |
is going for the respot. He will try and hit the respot and Ningo | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
for the jack and the drive. It is a rare tactic but it is one that is | :37:38. | :37:48. | |
:37:48. | :38:06. | ||
interesting to see if he goes this early or if he goes for the respot. | :38:06. | :38:16. | |
:38:16. | :38:24. | ||
Yes, out for the respot began. -- it so Nicky will be better with | :38:24. | :38:32. | |
this one, surely. An interesting tactic. Yes, it is an interesting | :38:32. | :38:37. | |
tactic. I can't see a working really. He has only got one ball | :38:37. | :38:44. | |
close to the spot now. Oh, Nikki, I wouldn't go there. That was not | :38:44. | :38:52. | |
what he was trying for. Will fill attack this now? Yes. He have to go | :38:52. | :39:02. | |
:39:02. | :39:04. | ||
controlled rage. He will try to get the the jack and run with it. That | :39:04. | :39:10. | |
is a hard shot. A portable rink just does not lend itself to that | :39:10. | :39:20. | |
:39:20. | :39:44. | ||
he could run the drat -- jack into that triangle of red balls. Yes, | :39:44. | :39:52. | |
very possible, not very likely, but possible. Well, we can see one of | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
the red balls at the bottom of the picture but the key to it all it is | :39:56. | :40:06. | |
:40:06. | :40:34. | ||
chance with this. He is close. He has paid it well and he has got it. | :40:34. | :40:39. | |
Not only has he got it, but he has got to bite the look of it. He | :40:39. | :40:49. | |
:40:49. | :40:51. | ||
might have got to. Has he gone too far? Match to Nicky Brett. There | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
was a little green ball lurking at the back of the head and that was | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
enough to stop Phil Bennett getting the three he needed. That was a | :40:58. | :41:04. | |
great attempt on the last ball. He was just unfortunate that it ran | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
probably a foot too far and so he probably could have got the three. | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
He really thought he was good. Just run too far. The only picks the | :41:13. | :41:19. | |
single up. How one fortunate. knew there was a green ball down | :41:19. | :41:25. | |
there. Nicky Brett from Peterborough lifts the first to set | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
and the second. It is a steady performance and he will be | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
challenged more in the quarter- final. Nicky Brett has confirmed | :41:32. | :41:42. | |
:41:42. | :41:53. | ||
And that is the last match that we will bring you from the last 16. | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
Either Ray Pearse or Colin Walker will make it through to play Robert | :41:57. | :42:07. | |
:42:07. | :42:12. | ||
Paxton. Let us see how this one acquitted themselves very well in | :42:12. | :42:22. | |
:42:22. | :42:22. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds | :42:22. | :44:03. | |
a little unlucky because he has half locked in the short ball. | :44:03. | :44:13. | |
:44:13. | :44:30. | ||
not think that Ray wants to get keeping it wide, even into that | :44:30. | :44:36. | |
sort of area. I think that is the best place to go. It is difficult | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
to cover the two directly behind the jack. You would have to get | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
fairly close to the line for the shot ball macro and he does not | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
want to move that. Backhand, couple of feet overweight and fall into | :44:49. | :44:59. | |
:44:59. | :45:22. | ||
long way short. He was certainly missed the line and the weight. Not | :45:22. | :45:32. | |
:45:32. | :45:43. | ||
an easy shot for Colin Walker, but credit to Ray Pearse. He kept his | :45:43. | :45:49. | |
head down and worked hard at it. He has come back strong. He takes the | :45:49. | :45:59. | |
:45:59. | :46:06. | ||
second set. We are into a three end Walker. He wanted the last ball | :46:06. | :46:11. | |
macro of the end, so he can give the jack away to Ray Pearse. Always | :46:11. | :46:21. | |
:46:21. | :46:35. | ||
a good one to win, against the run It only takes one good one, or one | :46:35. | :46:41. | |
very lucky one, doesn't it? Well, the jury is out on what you want to | :46:41. | :46:46. | |
do. The vast majority of players would take the last ball macro. | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
Personally, I think it has a lot to do with variation in length, who | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
has been playing what. With these two, they has not been much in | :46:53. | :47:03. | |
:47:03. | :47:20. | ||
last bowl is that you could lose by a fluke and you have no right of | :47:20. | :47:30. | |
:47:30. | :47:41. | ||
does not get much better in a tie- break end. I think we will see | :47:41. | :47:51. | |
:47:51. | :47:57. | ||
distance between them? The red one is a toucher. They will have to | :47:58. | :48:07. | |
:48:08. | :48:30. | ||
check with distance. It is not that attempt. -- for a first attempt. | :48:30. | :48:40. | |
:48:40. | :48:55. | ||
am not sure it will be quite close backhand. I wonder if Ray will move | :48:55. | :49:02. | |
on to the forehand. I thought Colin would have gone for broke with that, | :49:02. | :49:08. | |
trying to draw the shot. Even if he had lost it in the ditch, you know. | :49:08. | :49:14. | |
The problem is that he is slightly in his own line-out on that side. | :49:14. | :49:23. | |
He still needs this, because if it is only one... Favour two. That | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
makes a massive difference. No guarantees. He has moved to the | :49:28. | :49:38. | |
:49:38. | :49:57. | ||
perfect. That is a very good bowl. That will take some beating. This | :49:57. | :50:03. | |
will be either an absolute draw to the edge of the ditch, or it chop | :50:03. | :50:13. | |
:50:13. | :50:36. | ||
him. He had to give it a go. Advantage to the Aussie. And he has | :50:36. | :50:43. | |
taken the shot against the last bowl, and now he will have the last | :50:43. | :50:53. | |
:50:53. | :51:12. | ||
shots scored for both players in the first two sets is equal, 12 | :51:13. | :51:20. | |
reach. There really has been nothing in it. -- 12 each. That is | :51:20. | :51:30. | |
:51:30. | :51:30. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds | :51:30. | :52:37. | |
just think three bikes of the jack is just one too many. -- three | :52:37. | :52:47. | |
:52:47. | :53:00. | ||
bites. He had a great chance to put just when he needed it. At this | :53:00. | :53:10. | |
:53:10. | :53:31. | ||
level, you cannot give them three spot position. It would be | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
difficult to get the jack over there. Wisely, he has not only | :53:35. | :53:40. | |
covered the re-spot, but also the deepest bowl. This is going to be | :53:40. | :53:49. | |
very difficult to get out of, John. He either has to play the perfect | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
draw, which is really difficult, he has to strike the green and wing of | :53:55. | :54:01. | |
fit and may be run with the jack and get another connection. It is | :54:01. | :54:08. | |
hit and hope, really. A little bit of side, bottom and come off the | :54:08. | :54:18. | |
:54:18. | :54:28. | ||
problem, the second delivery. It has cost him. Concentrate, that is | :54:28. | :54:38. | |
:54:38. | :54:52. | ||
the thing. Start asking the only is it too far from the jack, | :54:52. | :55:02. | |
:55:02. | :55:11. | ||
but also it is in the way of the Colin Walker. That may not be close | :55:11. | :55:21. | |
:55:21. | :56:00. | ||
enough, but at the moment it is the Still plenty of room there. It is | :56:00. | :56:10. | |
:56:10. | :56:22. | ||
forehand, where the shoulder existed. He is now going to be in a | :56:22. | :56:30. | |
position, Ray Pearse, of having the last bowl to save the match. There | :56:30. | :56:37. | |
are no time-outs left. It does not really matter in terms of the time- | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
outs. The space is there to draw the shot. The problem for Colin is | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
that there is probably still enough room for Ray Pearse to draw the | :56:45. | :56:55. | |
:56:55. | :57:18. | ||
shot. I think he needs a close of inches. The gap is 10 inches. It is | :57:18. | :57:28. | |
:57:28. | :57:42. | ||
much, just a foot. But it is enough for Colin Walker. He qualified | :57:42. | :57:45. | |
through the Scottish qualifiers in a tough competition and has won | :57:45. | :57:53. | |
this match against Ray Pearse from Australia. And it is Colin Walker | :57:53. | :58:03. | |
:58:03. | :58:05. | ||
who goes into the quarter-final to Well done to Scotland's: walker, | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
through to the last eight, when he plays Robert Paxton. The quarter- | :58:09. | :58:13. |
