"The one man who defending champion Mark Selby would have wanted to avoid in the first round is Kurt Maflin. Give the Norway man a chance in amongst the balls and he will score heavily, two maximum 147 breaks gives an idea of what 'The Jester' is up against. Go home early and he won't be laughing.

"An intriguing tie sees Wales' two-time winner Mark Williams come up against fellow countryman Matthew Stevens. Williams is back in the top 16 after a decent season but faces a tough task of progressing. Stevens, of course, is twice runner-up in the tournament so knows his way around the Crucible Theatre.

"And a word on Ronnie O'Sullivan. The Rocket will fancy his chances against 32-year-old debutant Craig Steadman. The five-time winner has reached the final on the last three occasions, losing last year to Selby despite being 10-5 in front."

"Flintoff was part of the Lightning team narrowly beaten by Birmingham Bears on this very ground in last year's final. Having returned to the game four years after retiring, Flintoff looked to be guiding his side to victory - only to lose strike for the final over as Lightning were beaten by four runs."
