2018 PDC World Matchplay- Blackpool- 21st-29th July 2018

[DavidB]

Gurney played like he knew he didn't deserve to win first round, most use that as a catalyst but he just went out on a wimper. Really strange attitude.

Phil Taylor doesn’t get many things wrong...

[ssjsa]

De Zwaan playing great to lead 7-3.

Jeffrey averaging just under 104, so Adie will need to come up with something special if he is to turn The Black Cobra over.

[DavidB]

Must be freezing in there tonight, standard has gone up and we’ve got a hundred average

[ssjsa]

Joe Cullen interview.

[ssjsa]

Adie back in this. Have to say did not expect Jeffrey to miss those 3 match darts at tops.

[MrLil8]

Adie can't, can he?

[MrLil8]

Well played De Zwaan filly deserved that.

That's the outsider through again. Three in a row.

[BlueSpark]

Adie can't, can he?

No

[ssjsa]

What a double, double checkout that was from Jeffrey de Zwaan.

Huge credit to both players who produced a fantastic match.

[The Crusader]

Had it on sky go with no sound. Looked like Adie has been taking tips from Scotty Dog.

[DutchFrank2]

What a match, full credit to both players. Unlucky for Adrian, pleased to see him play so well again.

That's the thing David, in the PDC ton plus averages are like buses.

I guess similar in the BDO, but in the case of your preferred organisation, the bus comes along that little bit slower.

[ssjsa]

Just a mention for the sportsmanship Adie showed despite what must have been a hard defeat for him to take.

[ssjsa]

Right the preliminaries are over.

It's time for the 2 time, back to back Champion of the Wooorld- Gary Anderson.

Will need to play a lot better than he did against Bunting in the 1st Round.

So you agree it must be cold in the venue tonight given the excuse for the dreadful first round standard was the heatwave??

Oh and I just like darts, hard you might find that to believe !

[DavidB]

ssjsa, your boy is taking a hell of a beating so far!

After what’s gone before you wouldn’t rule out a comeback...

[ssjsa]

What a great 1st session from Barney.

Gary did brilliant to take out that 110 finish in the last leg, and get a leg on the board.

He is, but that is because Barney played so well.

Agree not done yet, but Gary is going to have to come out in this session firing on all cylinders.

[BlueSpark]

Pow, 130 on the bull.
Decent game.
