Shaun Murphy explains awkward moment between BBC commentators at World Championship
Shaun Murphy has admitted that he remains confused by BBC commentator Dennis Taylor’s comments about Zhao Xintong during the World Championship. An extremely awkward moment between the snooker star and broadcaster went viral during the final at the weekend.
Murphy, who was on co-commentary, bluntly shot down Taylor after he suggested that he had friends who had never seen Zhao play and were shocked by his talent. “They must be fairly new to the game then, Dennis, because we’re watching a former UK champion here,” Murphy responded. Taylor remarked: “They don’t live in the UK, Shaun, that’s what I was saying.”
