@@Bonzai87PL Rankings aside, he is easily the second best player on the circuit, and he will prove it soon enough, much better than choking Smith or one hit wonder Cross or ''i cant be arsed practising and when you see me looking round smiling in a match you know i am beat'' Anderson. Hard to win?...Maybe, you also need some luck along the way to win a major, but he WILL get one. Remember this he is relatively new to PDC but has quickly climbed the rankings, and now he is top 16 he will play more tournaments, so more experience will be forthcoming.
Cross is hardly a one hit wonder. Won the worlds, the matchplay, runner up in the uk open runner up in the premier league. Ratajski has been no where near any major yet.
