If India were to lose to Pakistan at billiards or snooker, it would be as much of a catastrophe for us as Pakistan losing to India at squash would be for them. (I think the latter is more likely sooner than the former!).

The Asian Snooker Championship, which was slated to be organised by the Maharashtra State Billiards and Snooker Association at Pune next month, has been called off due to lack of sponsors. “Yes, we have been forced to call it off as we could not find a sponsor despite approaching 25 companies. It’s a shame that none has come forward to sponsor this prestigious international event,’’ said MBSA joint secretary Derek Sippy. The championship will now be held at Bangkok from July 25-31.
I m not able to contact Mr. Salil Deshpande to find out exact reasons behind this .. Becoz when last time I talked with him that time he was very confident about sponsorship and already started hotel reservations ...

On June 26th our cueists won the Asian Open Invitational Snooker team championship in Beijing ... Team consist of Alok Kumar, Manan Chandra and Pankaj Advani ... This team was considered as underdogs ... They beat Thialand 2-1 in nail-biting final ... And with that they take revenge of their lost in the league, where they lost to Thailand 0-3 ...
