Like the graphic of the players then morphing down to the bottom as the scorecard.
Nice snatch in the first leg for West.

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

Another lot of bounce outs for West, though i think it's a combination of his very thick flights and the way his dart flicks up as it enters the board. It clatters into it when its close to the wire and pops out. Thinner flughts would be the way to go.
This has turned into a poor match at 3-2 to West.

Many 80 averages stacking up too, must be close between 80 and less vs 100 averages??

Cross vs West into decider.

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

West gets over the line with a great last leg. 6-5

Steve West hitting the right darts at the right time. Despite averaging a lot less than Cross, was always in control of the match.

Nicholson showing how to take out 58.

Single 4 Double 9, Double 18.

What other way is there.

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

Only way to take out 58

proper pub darts

[ssjsa]

Gezzy showing his class under pressure until those 6 darts from 20.

Good to see Nicho in a semi, but Price threw that away.

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

Nicholson wins 6-5 but no idea how. Weirdest game I've seen in ages. Price leaving 82 after 9 and still losing.

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

I wonder if Nicholsons resurgence is down to him commentating. Do players want to beat him that badly if he's disparaged them in some way hence trying to hard, or maybe by watching more matches he can see when a player is flagging.

What happened in that deciding leg in the Price v Nicho game. Gerwyn was miles ahead.

[Canuck_bully]

Not sure about the Nicholson love in by commentary this weekend, getting a bit carried away aren't they?

Not sure about the Nicholson love in by commentary this weekend, getting a bit carried away aren't they?

Well a couple of consecutive 120+ finishes on bull to level up at 6-6 is not going to calm them down.

In fairness, brilliant darts from Nicholson.
