"It [the comeback] was just improbable."
Rob Cross said: The crowd helped me tonight. Thank you to them. They really spurred me on in the end. I couldn't find anything for whatever reason.
"I am really glad to be in the final but I don't think I deserved it. Daryl was the better player there and he deserved to win but I will take my bit of luck tonight into the final tomorrow and hopefully be better.
When asked whether that was his best comeback, he said: "100 percent. The crowd helped me massively. I'll be honest with you, I wasn't right and I need to get right."
