In the second frame, the opponent has knocked the reds out of the way. The reds are in a much better position than they were in the first frame, but they are not in a good position to catch up to the opponent's advantage. The only way for the opponent to get back into the game is to make a big mistake, and that's exactly what he's done. He's made two mistakes already, and he apologizes for them. But he doesn't apologize for the first one. The second one, he says, is even worse, because it's the one at the bottom bank of the table. The opponent has a chance to catch the ball, but he'll have to wait for the bottom to sink before he can do so. The other problem is that the opponent is terrible at getting out of a snooker, which is why he can't catch up with the opponent. The problem, says the man, is that if the opponent catches up to him, then the opponent will be able to win the game by outrunning the remaining table points. If the opponent can catch up, then he can win the match by outstriking the remaining points. The man thinks that if he can get the ball to sink, he can fight back against the opponent and win. He thinks that he has a good chance of winning the match.
