MUNICH - The German league in three cushion is going to be a parade of big names from the world’s top twelve in the two upper leagues of the bundesliga. Torbjörn Blomdahl, Eddy Merckx, Frédéric Caudron, Dick Jaspers and Marco Zanetti are the most known players.
The top teams will change their line-ups every week, because they are not allowed to show up with more than one foreign player per match. But for sure, in the key matches, a lot of fireworks can be expected.
Marco Zanetti makes his comeback in the second bundesliga this year, where he last played a record average in 2004 for BC Elversberg: 50 points in 9 innings, 5555 average. His opponent in that notable match: Frédéric Caudron.
Eddy Merckx improved the record in 2011/2012 with a historical 50 points match in six innings, average 8.333. His opponent was the Korean Inwon Kang.
