Match 1: Gery Verbruggen started with
seven strikes to take the first game then
clinched with match with a 222-214 victory in
the second game. Match 2: The first
match of the day to go to three games and
advantage Israel with Aviram coming through in a
closely fought finale. Four strikes in a row from
the seventh frame saw him coast home to victory by
28 pins. Match 3: First blood to Saudi
Arabia in a low scoring affair, and an especially
disappointing display from the Norwegian who was
runner-up in the World Cup in Singapore last year.
Hansen changed his bowling ball in the final frame
of the first game and hit the strike pocket, maybe
he'll be better in the second game.
Hansen rallied to a 212-143 win in the second
game, so it goes into a decider. Hansen is looking
the better right now and Al Sheikh has a big
frown. But the lanes are tight now, so anything
can happen.
No, not Norway's day and the sun shone on Badr Al
Sheikh as he got the edge and knocked out the tall
Norwegian, two games to one, 213-167. Match
4: This one came down to a tenth frame finish
in the opener, Schmidt needing a double and seven
pins - he got three strikes.
Well, you can't hold a tough Venezuelan down and
Hernandez came right back to take the second game,
222-186, so now the last three matches have gone
the full distance.
Once again the Canuck needed a double and count in
the tenth frame and once again he struck out. So,
the number one seed survives this year and he
looks good for progress to the final. The next
action concerns the women's quarterfinals and that
will commence at 15:30 European time.
