I think any number of breaks Selby has made against Higgins in this years Championship, being down as many frames as he was, needing to grind and grind to get back into the match, have been better breaks.
I like history too. I'm 48 and have watched not an insignificant amount of snooker in my time.
Hurricane's involvement in that match, with all that went with it as you say, make it incredibly memorable. My reference to his drinking was merely to suggest it likely ameliorated his nerves somewhat in the moment.....making the 'moment' perhaps less difficult to navigate.
As I've said earlier, much like Ronnie idolizes Hurricane for his play AND his showmanship, bravado, eccentricities, and general middle finger to the establishment nature, Higgins was my favorite player of the day.
But the break itself, for mine, is hardly extraordinary.
That's ok, I'm happy enough for others - even if the wide majority - to feel differently.
Always funny though to read other posters think that within their forum/group resides all wise thinking and last word on their niche interest, and that potting a poster they don't recognize is the quickest way to substantiating their claims.
No probs, I'll stick to asking opinions and not offering mine.
