which is the greater achievement, a 147 break at snooker or a nine dart finish at the arrows? Not that I've got anywhere near either.

    The break, lot more shots to go wrong compared to throws

    147 anyday.

    It's just about conceivable that you could fluke a 9 darter - just.

    147? Forget it.

    147 all day long. Darts is a better game/sport though.

    Would it ever be possible for one person to achieve both?

    147 although the 9 darter live on tv is a special thing

    As has already been said. Not got anywhere near either

    I've done both, found the 147 slightly more satisfying.

    Where does carrying your bat rank?

    Or getting a 10fer in an innings?

    If all your team mates get out cheaply then carrying your bat may not be that difficult.

    Andrea Leadsom already has.

    I'm sure they have said on commentary before that Gary Anderson has hit both.

    Should do a Charlton life darts comp.

    Harder to compare as you are also relying somewhat on what the opposition batsmen/bowlers perform like. Darts and snooker, it mainly comes down to just your skill as once you are at the oche/table you're on your own.

    Couldn't be more clear-cut. 147.

    It would be easier to compare if I knew what the fuck either of those meant!

    Or a 59 in golf? - or a 63 in the last round under immense pressure to win the Open?

    (not a hole in one - many high handicappers have got those)

    9 dart finish is far rarer than a 147

    Treble 19, Treble 18, Double 18. Good darts - but think a 147 snooker finish is harder. Been playing both for a long time - but my highest snooker break is about 25...

    About four years ago I was on for a 147 break.

    Then I missed the second red.

    It used to be but not any more.

    I used to be a good snooker player and I have made hundred breaks but never been anywhere near a 147. I am not very good at darts but have had two 180s in a row in practice and have done a 141 finish ( or similar). So from my own experience I would say a 147 is definitely harder.

    I think it depends. If it's a case of someone doing it at home on their own then it's the 147. Think it's different once you add a stage and crowd to it. Snooker players seem able to stay calmer than dart players, probably why a hell of a lot more 147s have been achieved than 9 daters.
