Des Kelly of the Daily Mail wrote a column about the class war in the Premier League. All very obvious big four type stuff. At the bottom of the article he writes a few paragraphs on other subjects including the snooker World Championships:
Whether you consider snooker a worthwhile sport or not (and I do) the game has one undeniable attraction; there are times when it can deliver perfection.
Few other endeavours offer such a tantalising and absolute opportunity.
I watched the World Championships and I can tell you it is a worthwhile sport. In fact it was very worth-300k-while to Ronnie O'Sullivan when all said and done.
Anyway the perfection Des is talking about it obviously the 147 break.
Yet, for a while at the World Championships, Ronnie O'Sullivan reached a level of God-like supremacy rarely witnessed in any sport.
Ali Carter
In a scintillating spell he notched up a maximum 147 break and displayed a complete mastery of his profession.
Ali Carter
His destruction of Stephen Hendry was at least the equal of anything produced by Tiger Woods on the golf course, Roger Federer on court or Michael Schumacher on the track.
Even at their illustrious best, were they ever faultless?
And thus the article ends. I suppose Des can be forgiven. I mean we can't expect the same standard from him that he ascribes to Ronnie.
So may I do his job for him and say Ali Carter:
Fantastic 147 break. Totally equal to Ronnie's (by virtue of the fact that they both achieved exactly the same score).
