International Snooker Snooker's increasing unpredictability was never better illustrated than in the afternoon's second round. Cliff Thorbum ,
Dean Reynolds , David Taylor , Kirk Stevens , Ray Reardon and Joe Johnson are all absent from the Hexagon, thanks to the attentions of some very promising qualifiers. As a result, ROBERT CHAPERON or STEPHEN HENDRY , and PADDY BROWNE , or MARK BENNETT will be having the biggest afternoon of their relatively short snooker careers.
NEAL FOULDS and WILLIE THORNE will be hoping that everything was totally predictable in their section.
DAVID VINE introduces frames from both matches from the Hexagon, Reading.
