Question

Like 20 / 20 has excited cricket should we now have snooker where you have to take your shot in 5 seconds?

Answer 1

what like, pot pot...black black cue cue

Answer 2

we should put Ronnie O'Sullivan on big brother

Answer 3

Ronnie already does, I think a better way would be to have a clock like they have in chess, and give each player five minutes.

Answer 4

no, that would be just stupid, 5 seconds are too short. even those who usually play really fast (like Ronnie does) sometimes need time to calculate, if they have a really difficult shot. what would players like Ebdon do with a time restriction like that? they'd simply be out. i know it's annoying when some waste time, but it's their strategy.

30 seconds, a minute maybe, would be ok. but 5 seconds would only put them in distress and make them make more mistakes. faster isn't necessarily better.

Answer 5

Yes, and they should also introduce the 100m marathon.

Answer 6

no because some frames would take forever because hard pot couldnt be poted

Answer 7

what a brilliant idea.peter ebdon takes 5 seconds just to get out of his chair
