Anderson and Taylor – the bigger, the better!
If he is known as ‘The Power’ of darts, then he is the Flying Scotsman. If Phil Taylor is the 15-time champion of darts, it is Gary Anderson who has never surrendered himself to the former’s glory.
The only major hurdle that stands between Anderson and the Premier League title is Phil Taylor. He has also tried to make efforts towards improving his position and status in the game.
Gary Anderson and Phil Taylor have enjoyed an extended period of glory when it comes to darts.
Hence, during the course of this discussion we will shed light on how each of these players is a competition for the other.
When assessed on the grounds of popularity, it will become tedious to place a benchmark on the basis of which the quality and, hence, the popularity graph of each player can be calculated.
This glory is not just limited to winning tournaments, championships or surging the numbers of their bank accounts.
It is about the contribution that each of them has made in the development of darts, from a pub game to a mainstream event.
This is primarily because each of them has their own game and their own technique that they make use of.
It is precisely the difference in this application of technique and strategy that makes each player different from the other.
Another important fact that needs to be mentioned here remains that both these players have enjoyed the status of being champions of darts and that also more than once.
Hence, this further facilitates in adding greater unconventionality to their game.
Furthermore, it also encourages them to master their game in a way through which they can provide constant entertainment to their fans and viewers.
Champions are made and then replaced but the sole champion is the one who is able to home himself in the hearts of his people.
Likewise, no matter what the circumstances may be, he is bound and destined to remain at the top.
In this particular context, it is Phil Taylor who undoubtedly takes a lead over his counterpart, Anderson. But it has never been easy for Taylor at any stage of his career.
With the load of 15 championships resting on his shoulders, he has been able to be completely honest with his fans and to the sport.
His greatest strength has been that he has never faced the pressure of any new opponent that made his entry in the game.
He has faced intense rivalries from other darts players, like Barney and Kevin Painter, but he has always performed his best and tried to win the hearts of his people rather than winning the championship.
It has precisely been this focus that has helped him in nurturing his very own distinctive position in the game.
Anderson, on the other hand, like other darts players has served under the leadership of Taylor.
Even though both of them have been face to face a couple of time, it has been Taylor who emerged as the winner in the end.
According to Taylor, the Scotsman needs to concentrate on the consistency of his game if he really wants to cement an eternal position in the sport.
Plus, his vision towards the game is quite compact. Overcoming a single competitor is not the attribute of a player who intends to make his name in the game for eternity.
A player like Anderson must accentuate upon making an effort through which he can make his place among his audience and fans perpetually, rather than seeking all sorts and kinds of publicities.
