Fair play to John Higgins here. He could have just accepted the refs decision. Good Sport at its best!!

i haven't got the advantage of seeing what he can hit . but he nominated the pink as a free ball . you cannot use that ball to lay a snooker . the only time you can do this when there is only the pink and black left on the table . so if it a free ball , it is a foul .
