What a masterclass on the skills of tenpin
for Chris Barnes and such a load of sympathy
for Zara Glover for having to withstand such
an onslaught. The PBA star had nine strikes in
a row from the seventh frame of the first game
through to the third of the second, then
struck out for a 279 and an overall average
over the two games of 262. Nice work if you
can get it and a shudder of horror for the
rest of the field yet to compete in this
fantastic tenth running of the World Tenpin
Masters, sponsored once again by
PartyPoker.net.
"I didn't think that I would score that well,"
commented Barnes after the match. "I had a
slow start but the lanes got slicker and I
really got locked in."
Zara Glover was understandably not too happy
to go out in the first round for the fourth
time. "I chose the wrong ball to start the
first game," she said. "Things improved when I
changed equipment but there was no way I
was going to catch Chris."

Guy Caminsky faced something like a massacre
as Osku Palermaa hit 13 strikes in a row,
but it all changed as the South African changed
bowling balls in the fourth frame of the second
game and hit seven straight strikes to come home
with a respectable score, albeit still 26 sticks
adrift of the lithe two-handed Finn.
"Bowling in this atmosphere is not a lot
different to many of the finals I have bowled
in," said Palermaa. "I was pretty well relaxed
and was confident throughout the match."

Usually when you come up against injured
players you tread very warily as the results can
be very much against the grain. But that was not
the case for the Australia versus Germany finale
for Friday evening as Jens Nickel is really
suffering from an injured knee and was unable to
complete his usual smoot slide and delivery on
the approach. In fact, after the first few
frames it began to look as though he might not
be able to complete the two games.
Having to stomp on his last step, Nickel was not
able to get the rotation on his ball and was far
from his usual accuracy.
Belmonte started with a 'washout' but then
slotted into the strike pocket to take the first
game with a 54 pin buffer.
Once again, a change of bowling ball made the
difference. This time it was to Nickel's
advantage and he got back into the game with
strings of strikes and would have won the last
game but for an open frame. But he was still 58
pins short of Belmo's outstanding 494. Return to Main Page
