Hi everyone,
Although it hasn't been confirmed as of time of writing, if the remain places are to be filled by the preformances of the World 9 Ball Championships ( As I'm lead to believe ) the remain place of the US team will be taken by Corey Deuel who had an excellent Championships and has the experience to back up his claim for a spot. Team Europe will be completed by a gentleman by the name of Daryl Peach. Daryl is a UK 9 ball player whom also had a good world championship like Corey but with the difference being Daryl actually went on to win the World Title beating home country favourite Efren Reyes no less on the way to the Final.
In response to your question about Earl Strickland, RichR, its a tough call because he's an amazing player and without a shadow of doubt, one of the greatest players of all time but he's a loose cannon and an entertainer whom the viewing public love to watch and makes for great TV so whilst he has had better years on the circuits and in tournaments etc etc, I feel this is more a " viewers pick "
Sally, sounds like a plan for us having a beer and a chat, I'll look forward to chatting to you further
Take care everyone and see you at the Mosconi
