Re: Is Dave Chisnall an elite player?
Players over the past 10 years or so that I would have defined as elite at one point or another (or consistently):
Taylor
Barney
Lewis
Wade
MVG
Wright
Cross
Price
Smith
Humphries is getting close.
I could see arguments for a few others.

Re: Is Dave Chisnall an elite player?
The thing with Terry Jenkins is that it was the occasion of a major TV final that seemed to spook him, and he always seemed to have very tough opponents every time. But Terry never seemed scared of any player, and has beaten them all on TV in big matches before a final. He was a particular nemesis for Barney in a lot of knockout TV matches.Dfc180 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 10:43 pmTerry Jenkins?DeepFriedRat wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 10:42 pm Yes but he needs to start winning majors or he'll be forever remembered as Darts' Biggest Choker

Chizzy's big chance was vs Cullen in that Masters, which he blew. The missed match darts vs Price in the 2020 WGP SF were also criminal considering it was unheralded, then-jobber Dirk awaiting in the final
