Bunting won one when he switched, Jamie Caven won back to back titles in one weekend, Dan Dawson called Durrant among the "best in the world" for reaching a final, yet never spouted the same for clemens, and others.It was a poor statement by Dawson

Ian White, Justin Pipe, Mark Walsh etc all have cleaned up on the floor and did absolutely nothing on TV. Durrant has done nothing on TV in the PDC including his GSoD appearances....these are facts.
If or when durrant wins a proper major tv title in the PDC, then the hype can begin, until then its just hype by people who haven't got a clue
forgot to add, the hypocrisy be certain people.

When Scott Baker reached a players champs final this year, the usual suspects were out praising him
When durrant made a final, same thing, same individuals out praising him.
Where were those people praising clemens when he reached a final ?
Where were they when Ricky Evans reached a final, yet these people have the audacity to call others trolls.

Can you ask Mr Kempf if MvG going 141 on t19, t16, d18 was a first? How about the 9 darter he hit without a 180 - has that ever been done before (til Edhouse today) ??

Durrant has really made an impact on Gary........he's only just switched and he can't stop talking about him, it's like in someway he's a threat.....

Not a Gerwyn Price fan by any means, but that was a brilliant weekend performance by him to win both events - that takes some doing (even if MVG and Gary A not there).

No no no no he should have been banned for life and had his Grand Slam title taken off him because he wound up a sulking Scotsman! :WWWW:

Baker and Durrant got praise in the context of being new to the PDC, and people being happy to see that they weren't overwhelmed by the higher standard of competition. (And both of them have followed up those with better performances. Baker hasn't been as far as his first tournaments, but he's had some better performances even in losses.)

Clemens and Evans are known quantities, and their runs weren't particularly special.

Is Glenn Durrant capable of beating the best in the PDC regularly? I'd say so - he is an excellent player who knows how to win. I don't see anything particularly controversial about describing him as one of the best players in the world. Even if we are conservative and rate him inside the top 32 that would still be true. I'd say he is currently in and amongst the top 20 dart players about - inside that list you have guys like Steve West, Jonny Clayton, Mervyn King and Darren Webster - so it's hardly that much of a leap.

I think Glenn Durrant is capable of winning a TV major in the PDC. Winning Lakeside might not be the achievement it once was but it is still tough to win and getting over the line three times is no mean feat. Glenn's problem is that he has half a dozen to 10 players - MVG, Lewis, Gurney, Anderson, Wright, Cross, Smith, Price - in front of him. He is capable of beating all of them on any given day - it remains to be seen if he has the game to finish ahead of all of them on TV in one event.
