Hard to tell for sure, but I think he'd have beaten Taylor in his pomp there. Granted Taylor wasn't relentless, but he did have his moments of magic, yet it didn't fluster Cross at all
Not sure he'd have beat a prime Taylor but he'd have given him a good run that's for sure. Taylor gives you chances that you didn't used to get and hits bad scores at crucial times that he didn't used to. Either way Cross is phenomenal and I think will get better.
Not in Taylors prime.
Even tonight Taylor had more 180s, just his consistency that's gone.

The production values of Sky and the PDC is insane. You'd think you were watching a boxing match in Vegas.

Fucking hell, thats like going from champagne to heroin.

Heroin is a far fucking better high than Champagne, more like going from Over rated fizzy french piss to Asda Smart Price Scotch

Theres going to be some amateur darts thingy on channel 4 but the production of that looks like something from the 70s. Won't be watching.

I cannot help but think the game has peaked, You can throw as much Voltage as you can at the game, but when there is no more Power the lights will eventually fade (and as a Darts fan it is a hard thought to take).

Too many 60s and 45s when trying to set a finish up or when Cross himself kicked off with a bad score. He just never used to let you off. Taylor in his prime would win but Cross would have his moments I don't think the score would have been reversed anyway.

The pdc thought they had hit the jackpot when. Mvg came along to replace Taylor.
Cross is the icing on the cake.
MVG v cross next year is huge business.

I'd rather Cross won like he did than watch Taylor get to 6 sets and possibly have a chance to win and bottle it. Cross definitely deserved it, phenomenal stuff, never to be forgotten and not just for Taylor. Rob Cross take a bow, you were unbelievable tonight.

Seeing as you had not signed up, I am guessing little of it.

Now whistle along you boring little piece of shit.
