I mean if it had remained the same and we'd spread all the rankers out over the years then Joe Davis would have the record. More by luck than skill has Hendry got to the top of this particular list but then stats are always a bunch of lies; if you honestly want to know who's the best then bad luck because you've set yourself an impossible task even if you could come up with a definition of "best".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-15917524622793913402012-07-16T15:05:02.269+01:002012-07-16T15:05:02.269+01:00Hendry's record will not be beaten in my lifet...Hendry's record will not be beaten in my lifetime I don't think!Ron Floraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933989900119158870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-64433661936778214792012-07-16T14:13:11.559+01:002012-07-16T14:13:11.559+01:00I think the best person to beat Hendry's tall ...I think the best person to beat Hendry's tall right now is someone much younger like Ding or maybe Robertson but it is still unlikely.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-58074329193468925792012-07-16T11:03:43.474+01:002012-07-16T11:03:43.474+01:00king HENDO
