Got a pretty big bet on tonight and if it wins I will be very happy. For it to go down to the last leg as they say I need 4 more 180's in this game!

Well you hit that target easily enough haha. Into the decider I can't choose between them at the moment, but would probably go for experience and Wright.....

 

[.V.]

I've never met anyone who likes Taylor, yet he always has the crowd on his side, in England at least.

 

[Gilly?]

Bloody good game this.

 

[Master D]

What an amazing match, so many big checkouts to save the match. Peter Wright all over that is though, being behind all game, won't go away and he just knicks it at the death. Feel so sorry for Chizzy, it's the Premier League all over again.

 

[Baz]

Wright vs Lewis should be a doozy.

 

[Master D]

Will Greenwood quite pissed there in the studio.

 

[Super_horns]

2 of the best performances in defeat...

 

[Baz]

Norris is playing well here, not sure if Webby can come back from 2-0 with the way Norris is scoring.

 

[Master D]

I cannot stand this thundercunt and the way 99% of players completely shit their pants when given several chances to finish him off.

Edit: Pep talk worked What a comeback Jelle!

P.S. Fuck off Phil.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Cheerio Phil!

 

[Gilly?]

Innabit Phillip!

Need a drink after tonight. Best session I've ever watched. Didn't think Wright/Chisnall could be topped, but fucking fair play to Klaasen, thought he was gone after he missed that D18, but what a recovery. Unbelievable stuff.

See ya later Phil.

 

[Hooped Wizard]

Bloody fantastic.

 

[Hooray]

Sign the board, Phil.

Love Jelle and his 100mph style, with unique checkouts all over the place. Must be a nightmare for Deller to spot on Sky! So exciting to watch. Hope he goes all the way.

 

[Baz]

Going to be some excellent quarter final matches. I think the oddball quarter final could turn into the most entertaining one too. Norris vs Klaasen both have the scoring power at times yet both often make a hash of doubles. Both can average around 100 or both could average around 90 so I think that's going to be a fun one. The 4 matches are all tough to predict though ooh err.

 

[Master D]

Klaasen back from the brink again, was 2-0 down again in the deciding set and chucks in some 11 dart legs to win it.

 

[Baz]

He utterly destroyed Norris in those last 4 legs. I stupidly put a bet on Anderson vs Wade to have over 17.5 180's at 5/6 no chance of it coming in at the moment.

 

[Super_horns]

Can he beat the reigning champion in the semis?

 

[Baz]

Can he beat the reigning champion in the semis?

It's down to consistency he's got the scoring power to stay with Anderson but can he hit doubles at around 50% to hurt him? I'm not sure if he can do it consistently to win 6 sets before Anderson.

I'm looking forward to both of tonights games. Gone for a betting double on Barney vs Smith to have over 18.5 180's (Based on previous round they should do it) and Snakebite to get over 9.5 180's himself, think he got something like 12 in the last round.

 

[Super_horns]

Smith hammering Barney at the moment - 3-0 up.

 

[Gilly?]

Had my money on Smith earlier this morning, unfortunately Norris lost the bet first game of the day.

I do enjoy watching fast players like Smith, it makes 180s seem a lot more impressive.

 

[The Iron]

Barneveld is coming back strongly now. It should be 3-3 in sets in a few mins.

 

[Master D]

Barney's clutch doubling has been ridiculous this tournament.

 

[Baz]

Smith must be kicking himself for not going for big 18 in that deciding leg, suppose he'll learn from that going forward.

 

[Gilly?]

Lewis is no mood to let this slip. His throwing style is pure darting porn.

 

[Master D]

The standard this year is unreal. For Lewis to beat a top player like Peter Wright 5-2 is seriously impressive.

Barney v Lewis could be a classic. I think Anderson beats Klaasen with a bit to spare.

Agree with that. Can't split Adie & Barney and unless the Klaasen of the last 4 legs turns up tomorrow I can't see him hanging with Anderson. I see plenty of high scoring though, but it could also be fun on those doubles.

 

[Murphy]

Go on Klaasen, I DARE YOU.

As long as Lewis doesn't have one of those games where he goes completely off the boil, however, I really fancy him to nail it the way he's playing.

 

[Hooped Wizard]

The official world championship has got off to a splendid start.
