CHAI THE MAGNIFICENT

Wendy Chai of Malaysia (pictured) bowled superbly once again despite strong challenges from Lynda Barnes of the United States and England's Fiona Banks.

"There was much more room to make a mistake on the lanes today," commented Chai. "Plus that I felt very comfortable and relaxed. Yesterday was the first day and I was feeling the pressure.
"I used the same balls today with about the same speed and didn't have to change my line very much. My coach, Chris Batson, just made a few minor adjustments to my game.

"I was really trying hard to make a 300 in the last game but I bowled just a little too fast in the eighth frame and left the 6-pin. The lady from the Isle of Man asked me to give her a perfect game and I told her I was trying as hard as I could. The only sanctioned one I've achieved was way back in 1997 - a long time."

Barnes and Banks also bowled a storm, both with high games of 269, so once again it is Asia, the Americas and Europe sharing the honors.
