World Championship: Jak Jones says criticism of playing style is 'pathetic'
World Championship finalist Jak Jones says criticism over his style of play is "pathetic" and "does not bother" him at all.
Both Bingham and Judd Trump - beaten by Jones in the last eight - suggested the Welshman's tactical play affected their rhythm and contributed to their defeats."They are supposed to be the best players in the world but yet they are moaning about being knocked out of their rhythm. It seems strange to me. I haven't scored particularly well but my match play has got me through.
Jones, who came into the tournament as a 200-1 outsider having had to negotiate two qualifying rounds, averaged 29.7 seconds a shot against Bingham and 28.7 seconds a shot against Trump. Should Jones triumph in Sheffield he would climb from 44th to sixth in the world rankings and also emulate fellow Welshman Terry Griffiths and England's Shaun Murphy by becoming only the third qualifier to win the world title.The same things were said about players like Peter Ebdon. It is people who don't know what they are talking about. This is top-flight professional sport and Jak Jones has to set up to beat the player in front of him.
