I think we should get the winner breaks back.. blow the dust off the wooden racks and start using them again!! The big break is what makes this game exciting.. Many people have started saying that 10 ball could well be the future of American pool for reasons such as there are not garenteed balls off the break and more safety play within the game!! (I really like 10 ball for these reasons) but if we bring the hard break into 9 ball and take the tapped tables away then the break is more of a lottery and there will be more safety play in 9 ball!!
I was watching imran play daryl in the quarter finals of the main event and watched imran dry break.. Daryl called him up on it and he still tried to say it wasnt even tho me and Andy Nicholson both saw it.. This doesnt put a good swing on pool in the UK!!
Another shot I saw in the same match.. Daryl was playing a 3 ball into the corner pocket where imran was sat.. Imran was shuffleing in his chair and daryl missed the ball.. This was at 7-6 down so was a big rack in the match!! After the match I was talking with Daryl and he said he shouldnt of missed the ball but even if Imran took 5% of Daryls concerntration off the shot he still sharked him!!
When I played imran in the Final of the pro cup earlier in the season he dry breaked againest me 2 or 3 times in the match.. I didnt notice and Daryl had a chat with me the next day and told me and from that match I always look out for them.. But you are using concerntration that you should be using in the match to look if your opponant is cheating..
Imran has won 4 GB9 main tour tournaments in a row.. This is a massive achievement but he is being remembered for being a cheat and not for being a champion.. This isnt good for the game especially for all the youngsters like myself 
Just my thoughts!!
Just to let people know, the shot that is mentioned above regarding the 3ball.....this was in the rack that was a dry break by Imran when he tried to say it wasnt, when i missed the 3 ball because of his antics i confronted him about it.......he just laughed and carried on!
Nice touch!
Great post Phil, although i think the wooden racks wont happen due to time issues.
 you tweaked the 3 you mean,it happens gash.nice touch ----------------- beware dangerous player on his way

The problem is Tony, how can you tell if somebody realises that they have dry breaked or not. In my opinion i dont think Imran did notice and i hope that is true, but at the end of the day the only player that will truely know the answer to this is the player breaking and they are the ones that will have to live with it at the end of the day. You can't accuse anybody of cheating on these grounds purely because there is not any proof and never will be. On a positive note, i'm going to join in on that group hug lol
