Bdo to pdc

[Astonvilla]

Dekker falls into the category of not good enough yet but could improve.

As at today it does look like only one who could do well is Waites and I have him down as a top 8 player.
Maybe Bunting was unlucky this week and Id admit ive underestimated Wright who seems to be improving fast. He could be top 16 but more likely top 32 for now.

Why is everyone doubting Buntings chances within the PDC after just one match where he averaged 'only' 96. To be quite honest: I think that was one of the best 'losers-averages' versus one of the best 'winners-averages'. Why should we write him off after just one match?

Totally agree on that. He proved his abilities in a dozen other matches. And we do forget the whitewashes he did at the Uk Open before losing to James Wade. Is Whitlock also bad because of losing in the third round? Don't think so...

I agree in general (most people seem to way overrate what happens in one-off matches), but I don't think Bunting had a whole lot of darts at doubles in that match so it's a bit of an inflated 96.

The point is: it's just one match...

Did you actually read my post? My point is that "the future's bright, he had one of the best losers performances" is just as much of an overreach as "this loss proves he doesn't have it".

True, my bad. Have to get used to English writing (being a Dutchie )

Its not a case of writing him off at all from my point of view. Ive just said I now view him as a top 32 player whereas before I though he was a ready made top 16 player.

I think im now being more realistic but unless he switches we wont know for sure.

He is still way clear of the rest bar Waites though thats for certain.


Not sure which "UK Open whitewashes" you are referring to

You are right about the average. I only saw it through several updates within the match, however: I think he met an in form Wright, so this loss wasn't too bad at all. I don't say he would be top 8 within the PDC (still think Waites has more potential than Bunting ), but I think the number 1 player within the BDO will always have potential (after all you have to be the best to be no 1 there).

Paulyboy right about Clayton
