In case you have a jump stick, shoot the 1, as said above. If you manage to get anything like a stop shot it is moderately safe and if you make the ball you have position.
Same thing, but may choose to cut the 2 a hair to roll the cb to about the 1. Good banker or not, a dead even middle of the rail bank from off a rail is about the best you're going to get from here, unless you've got precision accuracy for the spin behind the 8. Though, if you have that, you have the combo and shouldn't be asking this question.
Honestly, I'd play this shot with draw and aim for the second diamond on the 8-ball side of the table. Try to freeze the CB to the rail and hide behind the 8. Plus, the angle you're hitting the two ball at would send it pretty close to the 15 as well.
I gotta get to a table and try this out.
It's a lot harder for me to table from the pic instead of at the table but there's also a safety where you thin the two ball and hit the CB with a little low right to freeze them together. It's a touchy touchy shot that I was shown by a AA and have practiced since then. This option looks available but it's still very hard to tell.
surprised you did not say bank the 2 ball back (famouse english bank) your favorit shot?
How about just softly roll up on the 2?
People saying play the safe on a table with a roll....GOOD LUCK. Let's see what new made up cuss words you use when you foul after it rolls off.
FTR I like the safe...on a level table.
