Yes is the answer to both of your questions. Last year Pyke opened proceedings alongside Part with Studd and Mardle anchoring the commentary. How Studd gets the whole of the final is a shocking decision, and then not only that he then comes on stage to provide the interviews. Both Pyke and Croft are far superior commentators to Studd and Sky should never have forced John Gwynne out of their darts commentary as he was easily one of, if not the best around and since the retirement of Lanning and the sad death of Waddell then it makes the decision even more strange.
