Ronnie O’Sullivan didn’t mince his words while examining John Astley’s misfortune to Stamp Williams (
Picture: After losing to Mark Williams at the Welsh Open by a score of 4-2, Eurosport) Ronnie O’Sullivan advised John Astley to “find something else to do.”
O’Sullivan is presently filling in as a savant at the competition and the seven-time title holder held nothing back when gotten some information about a shot Astley missed with the game finely ready at 2-2.
In a stinging evaluation, O’Sullivan guaranteed Astley doesn’t have a “snooker mind” or great strategy and asserted that “perhaps now is the ideal time to find another thing to do”.
He told Eurosport: ” I believe I should win the game if given the chance. Assuming I’m out of position I’m taking it on the grounds that I can’t acknowledge that I won’t win the casing so it’s difficult to decline balls now and again. I’d most likely attempt and screw that in, squeeze it in a little and at any rate assuming you miss it the red disappears.
“However, to play it like that, he’s not even on the dark… terrible shot. He ain’t got a snooker mind, as a matter of fact, that is the very thing that it is. You must have a snooker cerebrum.
“Some people are good at math, some are good at English, and some just have a snooker brain. Others just don’t play the right shot, and they’ll never play the right shot because their brain doesn’t think like a snooker player.”
“There are a few top five players, I won’t make reference to any names, that I don’t think have a snooker mind yet they have such great strategy that they can pull off it. He has not one or the other. He doesn’t have a decent procedure and he doesn’t have a snooker cerebrum.
“He’s about to make 30s, 40s, miss balls truly do nothing. It’s awful, yet you must have one of the two. You must have great procedure or a snooker cerebrum and on the off chance that you have not one or the other, perhaps now is the ideal time to find another thing to do.”
O’Sullivan is on punditry obligation subsequent to hauling out of the competition at short notification. In a post via virtual entertainment, he said: ” Morning folks, I needed to tell you that I’ve chosen I’m not ready to play in Llandudno one week from now.
“It’s difficult to make sense of yet for quite a long time I’ve experienced anxiety in front of large audiences on occasion, welcomed on by uneasiness. It’s not something I can foresee or control yet I attempt to oversee it admirably well. Please accept my apologies to each and every individual who’s purchased tickets however I can’t get my signal out when I feel like this and I think this what’s best for me at the present time.”
