Rod 5-2 ahead of chuang

All due respect to Rod, that tells me Chuang is off form - which is good news for Jimmy White.

Not been following much, but has Wattana got any realistic chance of qualifying?

Also, on the international players front, I wouldn't mind Passakorn Suwannawat getting through.

It would be a big ask for Wattana to qualify. He's not qualified since 2006 and he hasn't reached the final qualifying round since 2007. I think his main aim would have been to keep his place on the tour.

It's not impossible. He did manage to qualify for the Shanghai Masters (beating Joe Perry) and the German Masters (beating Stephen Hendry). I doubt too many people will be predicting him to qualify for this though it would be nice to see him back.

What A strange match the James Wattana V Li Yan game was, James won the first 4 frames to go 4-0 up at the interval, Then Li Yan took a 6 frames in a row for a 6-4 lead, then James won the next 6 frames in a row to win the match 10-6 as this ever happened before in a best of 19 match I wonder - next for James is Nothern Ireland's Geard Greene, also Andy Hicks another former cruciable semi finalist in 1995 kept his place on the main tour for another season with a 10-3 win over Liam Highfiled

very good win For Wattana against Li Yan winning 10-6 from 6-4 down that win will keep James on the tour for another season, tough match next though he plays Gearard Greene, also both Barry Pinches and Tony Drago need to win to remain on the tour depending on results and Adrian Gunnell needs to beat Adam Duffy to keep his place, btw did anyone for the link to the interview on BBC Look North with Adam Duffy (It was shown on Tuesday 3rd April in the evening programme I Think)

Good to see Wattana winning. I like routing for the guys who were at the Crucible when I got into watching snooker as a kid. Hoping for a Drago comeback tomorrow too but it will be a tall order.

This might be a stupid question but how are they deciding which matches to stream? Would it be safe to assume that the Stephen Hendry (my main interest) match in the final qualifying round will be streamed?

Yes, I think you're pretty safe there.

I think Adam Wicheards being used as a mop at the moment 7-0 McGill

[LittleMissAlexa]

McGill is Murdering Adam Wicheard here 6-0

to be fair I think McGuill has the ability to be a future world champion at some point certainly enough to win a ranking event
