Amazed he hasn't been cancelled by the woke mob already

Don't think he gives a shit tbh

Cleese is sound.

+ lots

Unresigned to continue the spat he and Idle are having.

[sennafan24]

Nicho's top players at their peaks.

1. Taylor
2. MVG
3. Wright
4. Gando
5. RVB
6. Bristow

I also put ‘peak’ Wright that high. He is completely unplayable at some points, but I suppose all 6 of them have been like that at times

Depends really what time frame you put on a "peak"

Agreed.

Agreed.

If not its arguably who has the highest recorded average

Jose De Sousa in the PDC

I think it should be measured over at least a significant tournament, probably an entire season or year.

The top 2 are largely unarguable
Did Wright sustain a peak long enough to be 3rd?
You could argue for hump at the back end of last year?

It's Kyle (RIP) - 134.84

Ahhh right you are - https://dartsnews.com/pdc/anderson-clai ... almost-135

PDPA list it as JDS's officially - https://pdpa.co.uk/averages/

Wright's peak and tournament averages during the 2021 Matchplay are not far off the numbers Taylor was doing in Blackpool in his 2009 and 2010 pomp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_World_Matchplay

Current Hump is not quite at the same level as peak Taylor or MVG, but I can imagine he's top 10 in terms of peak form.

The boards are driving that though
I'd still argue Taylor in 00_02 was his peak

[vizIIsto]

2009 EC will always remain ridiculous

1. Agreed that the evolution of the Unicorn boards will flatter Wright's numbers somewhat compared to Taylor's.

2. Possibly.

As will his average in the 2009 World Final.

Taylor in 09 on 01 boards wouldn't have been any better imo
Comparing people's averages today to the past is pointless so it's probably best judged on simply events won over a period.

Darts Orakel argues that the best version of Taylor since 2003 is right before losing the 2011 WC quarter-final against Mark Webster.

Granted their calculations don't cover matches before that period, so they likely narrowly missed out on an even better version of Taylor.

Also this seems to suggest that Littler currently is already better than both peak Jackpot and peak Wade.
