Snooker star Matt Selt had possibly the most unorthodox match of his career during his last 128 victory over Alfie Burden, having won the second frame by playing just the single shot. It was dubbed the \u2018fastest frame in snooker history\u2019 having lasted just 100 seconds, but it was not the first time that Selt had made headlines after calling Ronnie O’Sullivan the “biggest p***k on tour”.<\/p>\n
Salt broke off in the Brentwood Centre on Thursday, leaving the cue ball back up the table near the cushion and green. His opponent Burden was reluctant to take on the red to the bottom right pocket and instead opted to ease the white into the pack of reds via two cushions.<\/p>\n
However, after his first two attempts ended up short, the third ended the same way and a little-known rule saw Burden concede after just 100 seconds as the game\u2019s laws state that failing to hit a ball that is considered \u2018on\u2019 in three consecutive attempts results in a frame being conceded – the rule does not apply when a player is snookered.<\/p>\n
Selt immediately knew he had won the incredibly short frame and went on to advance to the last 64, but previously had landed himself in hot water having got his name in the headlines last year for a rant on social media aimed at a fan and also snooker icon O\u2019Sullivan.<\/p>\n

The snooker professional launched a series of insults after receiving a comment on his story about O\u2019Sullivan being a poor role model after refusing to hit a ball during a tournament.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Another Ronnie king. Mong.\u201d<\/p>\n The fan responded by mocking Selt\u2019s career and joking that he had already retired, which prompted another foul-mouthed response of: “You’re a boring c*** aren’t you. Dear me. Struggled this year. 16th highest player in the world. F****** muppet.”<\/p>\n
