	Guardian Unlimited Sport \| Snooker \| Ebdon takes control
		Peter Ebdon produced the kind of stunning snooker which could carry him to a second World Championship title as he took command of his semi-final clash with Marco Fu at the Crucible.
		Ebdon demonstrated the fluent side of his game that was conspicuous by its absence in a turgid and slow-moving opening session to move into a 9-7 lead in the best-of-33 clash.
		Ebdon was first among the balls in the next with another half century but Fu's run of 42 kept him in contention before he concluded a bout of safety play by potting the final fl to halt Ebdon's charge.

	Profile of Peter Ebdon
		Peter Ebdon re-established himself as a major force in snooker during the 2000-2001 season by doubling his tally of ranking tournament victories to four.
		Ebdon is more than halfway there, climbing from 12th to seventh in the world rankings despite going out of the Embassy World Championship at the quarter-final stage to the eventual winner Ronnie O'Sullivan (13-6).
		Ebdon defeated White, Davis and O'Sullivan in tight finishes to reach the final but those matches had left him mentally drained and he was unable to prevent Hendry from collecting his sixth world title.

		If Peter Ebdon could hold his form in the closing stages of the major championships then would have, by now, collected many more trophies than he has done.
		Ebdon exploded onto the snooker scene when he sent six-times world champion Steve Davis crashing out of the Embassy World Championship in 1992.
		Just one year later, Ebdon was collecting his first ranking title trophy as champion of the Grand Prix - not bad for a man with the handicap of colour blindness.

		Ebdon seemed to have a negative mind-set in contrast to the brilliant exhibition during the second and third sessions against Fu when he had chalked up three centuries and eight 50-plus breaks.
		Ebdon trailed 4-2 after the opening session and was unfortunate when play resumed to pot a long red only for the cue ball to drop in the yellow pocket after he had screwed back.

	Cues n Views - Casting the first stone
		As you may recall Stephen Lee and Peter Ebdon fought out a long and I feel sure gruelling match that ended with Peter Ebdon exploding with emotion more or less as the winning ball (from his point of view disappeared into a baulk pocket).
		Peter’s celebration of the win was I feel sure completely genuine and emotionally sincere but to many onlookers it was perceived as excessive and even a bit unsporting.
		Peter on the other hand might be inclined to take the role of peace maker as Snooker is to him symbolic of his desire to prove himself a capable and worthy provider of both financial security and perhaps a flawed but ultimately respectable competitor?

		Not the families of the two players - Ebdon's sister watched alone from her private box because the rest of the clan was too nervous, while Hendry's wife spent the evening pacing up and down the VIP lounge.

		After Ebdon, ranked 7th in the world, had twice played and missed on the reds, Stevens stepped in to make a fine 67 break which was enough to secure the 19th frame and give him the lead for the first time since Thursday night.
		Ebdon then took the lead in a messy frame which saw the shaven-headed player – he is balding but had decided to go the whole way – notch a 52 break.
		A break of 54 and a foul shot on the fl by Ebdon were enough to put Stevens into a 12-11 lead, but neither player had won three frames in a row since Friday and the pattern continued with Ebdon’s break of 60 being enough to bring the game to level pegging.
