Anderson 5-1 or 5-2 here. Wade could get tonked if he doesn't improve on his 93 avg.

Incredible run of legs from Klaasen in the final 2 sets, from 4-3 and 2-1 down. He has enough to win, set format suits him.

Klassen should be 4-1 up. Throwing away a few sets. Seems to be picking up his scoring a bit now.

Klassen can't get going, threw away the first set.

History of 100+ averages on Lakeside stage?

Tomorrow night - 2 prelim games and a woman's match.

Seriously?

Sneaky feeling for Klaasen, he's more than capable of coming through the bottom half of the draw.

What sort of form is Waites in? De Vos looked useful at the Grand Slam?

No demand at all. Darts is an individual sport. So is pool, but the Mosconi cup has been an absolute winner, and the Ryder Cup has also had a modicum of success. :grin: Personally, think the idea may have legs, but not in an England vs RotW format. Darts is no longer dominated by primarily English ...

Much demand for this? I think it would be good. Rotate every second year from an English venue to one outside UK. If you had 8 man teams based on current rankings: England: Taylor, Lewis, Wade, Smith, White, Chisnall, Jenkins, King. ROTW: MvG, Anderson, Wright, Thornton, Barney, Whitlock, Huybrechts...

Jelle 125/1 and Barney 60/1 before this started. I fancy Jelle to beat Norris and put in a strong performance too against Anderson or Wade. It could be any combination here now. I hope Barney wins, if not then Anderson or Klaasen. It will be great from here. All fast players and big 180 hitters. Tha...

Looks like Taylor will drop to 4 or 5 now depending on how deep Lewis or Wright go, but one of them makes the SF for sure.

Chances of Jelle partnering MvG in the World Cup for the Dutch?!

Agree with that. Probably can't believe his luck landing in that section of the draw, as number 3 seed.

No problem with removing the Euro lists and changing the Qualifying for the European TV event. There's enough top Euro players in PDC Top 32 these days to make the events automatically - MvG, Barney, VvdV, Klaasen, van de Pas, Suljovic etc.

Anyone but Taylor now!

Still buzzing. The 135 MvG hit to make it 3-3 with Barney on 121 was one of the best ever. MvG hitting 7 perfect darts in the final set when Barney threw for the set. Some amazing moments..... 15-15 in legs. Barney a few points less in the averages but he did throw at 15 more doubles. He very much o...

It's good for Barney that he doesn't play again until Jan 1st.

Absolute magic. Lost my Dad last year, Frank. On a day Storm Frank blows over Ireland and UK, I'd like to think he enjoyed that tonight and hopefully Barney goes all the way.

Still, Lewis v Anderson final is my guess from here.
