:15:52. > :15:55.
:15:55. > :15:59.He does not fancy it. He has played for the black. I don't blame him.
:15:59. > :16:04.As you say, if he goes up for the blue come other blue could have

:16:09. > :16:15.leave his opponent needing a snooker. You have to play to the
:16:15. > :16:25.scoreboard way you can, this is match snooker. Does he play the
:16:25. > :16:30.
:16:30. > :16:34.cannon on the two red's? He might be able to pot one of the reds. The
:16:34. > :16:39.if Mark Selby is going to stay in this tournament, he will need
:16:39. > :16:46.snookers. He will be very disappointment -- disappointed with
:16:46. > :16:53.his performance. He will be fearing the worst. No matter what your
:16:53. > :17:02.reputation is, you have to produce it on the day. He has not done that.
:17:02. > :17:08.Given Barry Hawkins too many chances. But he will come back to

:17:21. > :17:27.STUDIO: Mark Selby carried on, he potted a terrific read. Quarter-
:17:27. > :17:37.finals here we come. Mark Selby came back to the table, but it was

:17:39. > :17:43.all over. Barry Hawkins through to the last eight for the first time
:17:43. > :17:51.and his second consecutive victory over Mark Selby at the Crucible
:17:51. > :17:56.Theatre. Well played Barry Hawkins. Difficult was an understatement. I
:17:56. > :18:02.have been here so many times and has had so many close matches. I
:18:02. > :18:08.just kept trying hard the whole way through, hoping to find some rhythm.
:18:08. > :18:12.I just gave 100% and it is so tough when you play him, his safety is so

:18:17. > :18:21.capable of. But I managed to get through. Apart from a couple of
:18:21. > :18:27.frames here and there, I did not play good enough to win and Barry
:18:27. > :18:35.took his chances. The first frame was massive, and this the black and
:18:35. > :18:38.the pink. My timing just went. It was a battle and I feel drained, I
:18:38. > :18:44.have such a long way to go, I cannot believe it. I am over the
:18:44. > :18:48.moon. Many congratulations. Mark Selby
