abstract:Tenball is a cue sport that (with some minor modifications) is played on the same table and with the same balls as snooker, its rules and gameplay being a mix of those of snooker and of pool. The game and the ITV/LWT TV series Tenball focused on a tournament of it were created in 1995 by a team consisting of managers Russ Lindsay and Peter Powell, entrepreneur Barry Hearn, and snooker and pool player Steve Davis.
Mark Pettini loosely drove at Murtagh to Scott and next ball Ryan ten Doeschate chipped straight to midwicket, with James Foster fortunate to survive a leg before appeal for the hat-trick.
Ten Doeschate's 108-ball innings included 13 fours and a six, moving him alongside South Africa's AB de Villiers and Sachin Tendulkar of India as the only players to score two hundreds at the tournament.
After watching the ball land on red ten times in a row, most people would be itching to get a seat at the roulette table, even if they knew the table was fair and the odds were the same as always.
