Ahead of the #WorldSnookerChampionship find out who under- or overperformed in Crucible history. Are Bill Werbeniuk and Patsy Fagan really the best 'Crucible players'? 🤔 @ProSnookerBlog @snookerorg #Snooker

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@clusterofreds1 Maurice Parkin, 19 years on tour, highest ranking 91.
Mind, the ranking system was different in those days so he had no ranking for most of his career.

@snookerorg Coincidence?

Great #WorldSnookerChampionship scoring from Luca to win the event. #147sf #Snooker #SnookerWorldChampionship2023

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@WeAreWST @CazooUK Another milestone! #Snooker

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@DylanTaylor793 @RobJF24 Right, wasn't aware of the draws. But its correctly in the head-to-head. So its more like 8 out of 12.

@musicalsuz Right, you may have a look at my more telling update-tweet on that topic, how many more he would have prob. got.

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

What about the myth that Mark Williams was not bothered about centuries in his early career? Compared to Ronnie & John he was making them at a similar rate but with some dips. #Snooker #CazooWorldChampionship #147sf

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

Mark Williams @markwil147 wasn't really bothered about making a century in the past.
But how many more he could have made based on the number of 50/60 breaks each year? #CazooWorldChampionship #Snooker

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @TSnooker102 @badatsnooker09 @MichaelAstley4 Something like: "Being on a break of 60 Mark turned a similar amount of them into centuries in his early career." But, as I said, more work is needed to figure that out and guess if he'd have 60 or 200 tons more.

@MichaelAstley4 Think we stop here guys. Blame on me, I was describing the chart badly in the tweet. Sorry. If you don't like statistics and some guesswork just mute the account. Thanks!

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @MichaelAstley4 If your controversy is only about that, I apologize.

@MichaelAstley4 Thanks to you! As there is interest into the topic about Willo, I will dig a little deeper next days to conclude how many more tons Mark prob. would have had. Cheers.

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @MichaelAstley4 Okay, you're right. Blame on me. Maybe I was summing up the chart a little to simple.

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @MichaelAstley4 Where? I never wrote "he was making them (tons) at a similar rate".

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @MichaelAstley4 Okay, fair enough, than show me that tweet. Otherwise, you proved yourself wrong again.

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @Rich_W17 @MichaelAstley4 Correct, but that's how it works. Like it or not.

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @Rich_W17 @MichaelAstley4 Obviously, it seems to matter, otherwise 4 people wouldn't twitter an hour about it. 😅

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @MichaelAstley4 So, but there's no "century-rate" mentioned, as you write.

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @badatsnooker09 @TSnooker102 @MichaelAstley4 Again, miss-read. I never wrote anything about a "century-rate" here.

[snookerbrain @snookerbrain1]

@Rich_W17 @TSnooker102 @badatsnooker09 @MichaelAstley4 Again, miss-read! The "could have had" was not about the chart I posted. This can only be answered "digging a bit deeper" as I wrote.
