Cross losing a set 3-0 whilst averaging 118. Pretty good standard in this one!

Surprising result but Dobey played well.
Quite like him there's no bullshit.
Feels like he has been around for ages.
No way Dirk van diving Board wins here.
This will be a whitewash
Can’t be leaving those doubles on the table against this MVG.
I was hoping for a closer game than this, DVD has the scoring power normally but not tonight. Needed to win the set after the 170 check out
Maybe not.
That is what happens when the crowd are pissed and the audience are sober
Was a frosty embrace at the end. They don't seem to like each other.
Then again not many players like MvG
Would they still get a cheering crowd if they were not full of piss?
Sad, sad sport if they cannot!

I once met Stephen Bunting at Aintree. Turned a good night into a great one.
Tell me he sounds like Peter Griffin!
Sadly not. He's a Scouser.
Ahh
Quietly impressed with Bunting, his game has really come on again after a few difficult years.
If it wasn't for MVG, I think he would be a outsider to go all the way

Clayton v Dimi is so tight and tense. I reckon Clayton will edge it, but would rather see Dimi win.
I've gone right off Dimi with all his stop start antics.
A few do the stop/start thing now, like Cross and even Lewis. I think it's fair enough one pressure shots like that last dart double 18 for the seventh set.
Is more entertaining they Ricky Evans it though.

VdB has this one won now I think. Out scoring and outfinishing Clayton comprehensively now.
Don't mind so much on doubles sometimes but doing it after your opponent opens the leg with a 180 sucks really.
Love the way Clayton looks at the camera 
feels like im there with him.
feels like im there with him.Dimi is a proper weird guy isnt he? mvg easily getting to the final.
I do always wonder if the benefits outweigh the negative of breaking your rhythm too.
Decent win, but pretty scrappy in the end. Would've quite liked Clayton to win too, but Dimi seems to have a better record v Price.
They really shouldn't give him the mic so he can drone on.
This is quite embarrassing
3-1 is rough on Bunting. He's been brilliant, but losing that last set 3-1 despite averaging over 111 has got to hurt.
Buntings on the march.
I didnt even see him speakThis is quite embarrassing
Want Smith to win, but Bunting has been massively impressive.
Me too, also he generally beats Price too which would be nice. Be nice to see him win the entire thing, always gets so close.
Reminds me Chizzy Chisnell. On his day plays some cracking darts.
No chance that Smith is winning the tournament sadly. Even if he somehow wins this, the fact he’s struggling this badly under some pressure from Bunting isn’t a good sign for the harder challenges to come.
Winner should come from the MVG v Dobey match I think. Dobey looks the only guy in decent enough form to give MVG a match.
Wtf, some of the camerawork at this tournament always sucks.
Yeah I'd prefer him to win. It's only Price who I actively dislike of those left.
Amazing how many doubles Bunting missed. Hope he can get on a run again next season cos he's decent to watch on form.
