JOHN Higgins was responsible for the strangest foul that even baffled Eurosport commentator Neal Foulds.
The Scot was in action at the World Open in China against Mark Davis.

However, his cue accidentally connected with a red he was cuing just above.
As the ball rolled across the tale, Higgins walked off annoyed and returned to his seat.
That prompted Foulds to share his shock at the bizarre incident.
“Goodness me, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that,” he said first.
As a replay was being shown, he added: “I haven’t seen a red ball move like that after no contact with the cue ball. It just went across the table.”

“I’ll be honest, it’s not rocket science,” he told theMetro.
“I can do it in fits and bursts, but it’s maybe because you don’t put in the same level of practice as you used to do and that maybe comes back to haunt you at the critical moments in the big, big events.
“I’d love to be able to practice more, but I just can’t. My mind just can’t take it in. I just don’t have the capabilities to do it.
“I still love playing, I still love competing. I want to be competitive when I come to big events, of course I do, but that’s maybe the deciding factor of it. It can be as simple as that really.”
