Durrant as a full-time PL player in his debut PDC season like he's the second coming of van Barneveld? GTFO, seriously. And the "well, he'll never be good enough to make it into the PL the regular way" justification is just the worst, given the aforementioned low-charisma charge that's been levelled at him for the last few years. What are his relevant attributes to deserve such selection, then? And before anyone brings up his three Lakeshite titles - hell, even Durrant himself doesn't appear to think that those count for anything re: the PDC. People would be sick of the Sky drones talking about it like it's a big deal by the third hour this Thursday.
No one has suggested he is Barney Mark 2 ffs
People have requested him to be involved in the PL due to him being 3 time BDO world champion (yes he mentioned split field Yadda yadda) but to win sokeginv3 times on the trot is a hell of an achievement
Zeyes I know this as upset you as much as the Hamil hate mob but Hearn isn’t stupid. He knows the draw Durrant had at Q school (amount of people interested in him) & he even commented on Durrant gaining a Tour Card and Praising him
He is only in for one week. Stop crying
