I'd have thought the other wild card would be either Mardle or Painter but Mardle was overlooked last year in favour of Lewis... (though Phil Taylor may have had a hand in that decision)

priestley is quite a boring player He was diagnosed with cancer recently so that's probably why he's not taking part.

(though Phil Taylor may have had a hand in that decision) didnt know taylor had that big a say in who plays Taylor effectively co-founded PDC with Barry Hearn so I suspect he has a significant say in what goes on behind the scenes, and with Lewis being his protege, he'd have been fighting to have him involved in the Premier League.

Am I right in saying only the top-ranked players get to play in the Premier League (barring wild cards)?

I tried that a while back and it went down like a sack of spuds, but it seems there are more darts fans here nowadays.

Whitlock just missed a great opportunity to level up the sets in a leg where Webster wasn't scoring great on his own throw, but he survived and it's now 2-0. I've a feeling Whitlock's got his work cut out.

Could Whitlock be on the comeback trail? Taken 4 legs in a row now.
