The Embassy
World Professional Snooker Championship from the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
It must be of great comfort to the organisers that rain cannot stop play here. If it does at the cricket, then this should be our second visit to the Crucible. HIGGINS, WHITE, KNOWLES and THORBURN were the top four in the original batting order, but it's a funny game, snooker.
