Darts

Chizzy's finishing way more clinical than usual there.
 
Strange performance from Gurney, trash for the first 4 sets then showed why he was #5 in the world until he missed his match dart and fell apart. Lewis played solid throughout and deserved the win

Yeah rhat was weird. Jamie Lewis is decent though- just hate that weird mouth thing he does.
feck me Ando-Wattimena was a topsy-turvy nailbiter. Watching on delay because wife. Real epic.

Might be Anderson’s year, a lot of winners have survived match darts this year, Cross last world championship (Smith & MVG) Anderson @ Matchplay (Cullen missed 2), Price (Whitlock missed 5) at the GSOD, Wade in both his wins (Price, Hopp & Smith), Gurney at the players Championship (Searle)
 
Even if Adi wins tonight can’t see him getting past MVG, even though he played quite well in his first game everything looked it was forced rather then his smooth throw of years gone by

Hope so, just worry MVG has shown flashes of peak form. Just watching Cross match now (sparing wife more darts). He's looking very good again too.
Lewis looked pretty decent I thought. That Darius guy wasn't great, but Ady had been ill tbf. Could be a good 'un with MVG.
 
Missed the darts but at least back on the oche lunchtime today and tonight MVG v Lewis, should be good.
 
Yesterday Smith v Henderson was a great watch and then topped by Dobey v Anderson. Dissapointed with West and especially Van Den Bergh.
 
Wade misses 2 match darts, Joyce misses three darts to win the set and Wade again misses 3 match darts, wtf :lol:

Decisive set started now.

EDIT: Joyce missed 5 match darts as well while Wade couldn't convert on 36, fecking hell.

11 sets in a row for Chizzy, expected more from Jamie Lewis, could well be an early night at the darts expect Humphries to lose 4-0 as well
 
I know nothing about darts. Well played Humphries thought he was going to fold like a pack of cards after missing 5 darts to make it 1-1
 
Whisper it quietly, the PDC is missing Phil Taylor (and I can’t stand the twat).

The darts has been piss this year. Too many players due to the inflated field, not enough quality and the ‘shocks’ have meant that the quarter finals have been a damp squib. Van Gerwen and Anderson might have a ding dong but that’s about it, I reckon.

Idiots in the crowd singing Toure chants is wearing a bit thin, too. Perhaps the crowds are still selling out but I think the whole thing is feeling a little tired.

Maybe it’s just me.
 
Don’t think Taylor would have made much difference unless he was in the bottom Quarter, as that lacked quality the moment Wright & Price went out in the first round proper.
Two years ago the QF’s were

MVG V Gurney
RVB V Taylor
Anderson V Chizzy
Wright V Wade

The only one that looked one sided was the MVG game. Where this year they all looked one sided with Chizzy the only one you would say had a chance of winning any more then 2 sets
 
Now Smith needs to reproduce that in the final if not better it if he is to become world champ
 
51% on his doubles, nothing wrong with that especially over 9 sets

Eh? They were fine.

If he's got any chance of beating Van Gerwen or Anderson he needs to be clinical. He was 51% on doubles, and 3 sets down. When you're playing one of those guys in the final you don't get opportunities to sit and chalk off doubles at your own pace.
 
Why do darters sometimes go for the T19 after two T20's? Instead of going for the third T20?
