[edit] Dubai?

Anyone who knows, why he's moved to Dubai - is it because of tax reasons, the weather or something else? --85.82.143.44 00:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps all those things? I think we also need his wife's sirname, it looks a bit weird having just "Peter Ebdon's married to Deborah". -- Drumnbach 11:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] match against Ronnie O'Sullivan in the 2005 World Championship

His shot times have slipped from around 23 seconds to over 30 seconds and this has brought some criticism, particularly his match against Ronnie O'Sullivan in the 2005 World Championship, in which he took 5 minutes to complete a break of 12. These ponderous performances have lacked free flowing breaks and Ebdon has sometimes struggled for victories.

The last sentence makes it appear as though Ebdon's slow play in that match was a bad idea. I (and others at the time) was under the impression that it was a psychological tactic used by Ebdon against O'Sullivan, and one that worked very well. O'Sullivan's temperament is the weakest aspect of his game, and Ebdon’s slow break times put him under the illusion of losing heavily (because he was away from the table for so long). -- Drumnbach 11:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
