Cue sport combining the disciples of carom and pocket billiards
A late nineteenth century match between John Roberts, Jr and Edward Diggle
English billiards,[1] called simply billiards in the United Kingdom and in many former British colonies, is a cue sport that combines the aspects of carom billiards and pool. Two cue balls (one white and one yellow) and a red object ball are used. Each player or team uses a different cue ball. It is played on a billiards table with the same dimensions as one used for snooker and points are scored for cannons and pocketing the balls.
