The Case For
An A Game capable of taking legs/sets off of anyone
An uncanny ability to hang on in games when playing below par (only Wade and MVG himself can lay definitively better claims in my opinion)
The combination of these two things makes them almost the only two players that I will never write off until their oppo hits the winning double. Thats their big similarity for me.
True, the Worlds comeback against Dobey is the current record for biggest comeback in a World Championship and that says a lot about Cross
The turnabout v Gurney at the matchplay remains my second favourite comeback after Shitlock stealing the telescope inspectors soul.

Cross is more comparable to Wade as a player:
- Consistently in the top 10 or thereabouts.
- Capable of incredible comebacks. (see 2014 Masters final)
- Not the most flashy + absence of gimmicks.
A difference is that Wade is probably a little more known for his doubling rather than his scoring. I don't think Cross is especially known for one more than the other.

Further to his recent uptick in performances, the heights he has reached in the game thusfar and of course a smattering of comments from you fine folk on here, a consideration of one Mr Robert 'Waterboy' Cross:
The Case For
Bald
Similar Age
An A Game capable of taking legs/sets off of anyone
An uncanny ability to hang on in games when playing below par (only Wade and MVG himself can lay definitively better claims in my opinion)
Annoying/Endearing ‘Boom’ celebration
Good loser – albeit very much more huggy
The Case Against
His thirst
His posture
His throw
His career
Of course he fucking isn’t you melt
ok thanks
Welcome young sir. I disagree with the claim that MVG is a good loser, all he does is moan, mind you he still does even if he wins.
Great player though that's for sure.

I compared Cross to Dobey once. I have nothing else to add.
