Peter Wright hits back at criticism about Van Gerwen comments

After Michael van Gerwen's early exit from the PDC World Matchplay, Snakebite offered some thoughts. Wright, who reached the semi-finals, said: “Michael [Van Gerwen] is not a great player, he’s a good player."
The Scot later added that Phil Taylor was "a much tougher opponent than Michael van Gerwen, easily."
The comments caused a stir, with supporters of the world number one criticising a perceived slight by Wright. But the 2017 UK Open champion has offered a clarification of his comments on Twitter.
Wright tweeted: "OK, to clarify, the great darts players as mentioned in my interview. After getting negative comments.
"Great players, when I was growing up was [sic] Jocky Wilson, John Lowe, Eric Bristow, Phil Taylor. They no longer complete [sic] today which was what I was trying to say.
"I rest my case."
