Time left is just over an hour. What would you do?

This question posted by Jerry Stark.....

Blue has predictably been placed in C1 (C3 would have been the other alternative)

What should Red now do?

The court is flat and reasonably quick (12 Plummers).

You now have to place a correct ball in balk. What do you do?

Our thanks to Chris Patmore for this question!

Red has just roqueted Yellow

Red is for #2 and Yellow for 4-back

Blue and Black clips are not relevant

What play would you now do?

Very often when the reverse cannon is played, the newly rushed ball fails to gain good position. This can put a lot of pressure on the following stop shot.

An interesting alternative is to play a little roll cannon, making sure that the back ball does not run into the forward one! From here it is easy to roquet to your preferred position for the stop shot.

An added advantage occurs if you initially created the cannon with your partner ball, as it can be sent to the trap line.

The Standard Opening has been employed, and Black has hit the tice ball.

There are many options now available, but what do you think is the best line of play to adopt?

Blue had made a long roll to #2, but unfortunately for him Yellow got stuck in the wicket and the break could not continue. Blue then hit back through the dead ball Black (an attempted "saving shot") to the east border.

Red and Black are for 4-back, Yellow is for #4 and Blue of course is still for #2

How would you advise Red/Yellow to proceed?

This question has been well answered if the player is at Championship level. Given the exact same position, what would you recommend for the average 'Club Player'?
