Adrian Lewis v Glen Durrant

[ssjsa]

After a poor 1st leg, Durrant getting into his stride.

Adey pretty disappointing thus far.

Will guess at 3. Lewis, Wade 1 more

[Black Velvet]

The more decorated player dominating the early rounds.

[BlueSpark]

Blimey what has happened to Lewis?
Glen taking his chances, credit where it’s due

[Black Velvet]

I really can't see why Beaton is here at the WMP. He's consequently underperforming on television. All those darts in the single 1 and 5..

Because he qualified.

[ssjsa]

Really expected Adey to use the occasion to play decent darts. Woeful thus far and have to say, if he cant get himself up for the Matchplay, he is in serious danger of his game going down the tubes.

Sometimes and not saying its the case here but I believe some players achieve their goals, then end up financially secure and they lose that bit of hunger.

[ChrisW]

That break back must have hurt Lewis. Was so pumped up.

[BlueSpark]

Glen walking all over Lewis

[MrLil8]

Duzza doing the job with a very good performance, so far.

[Black Velvet]

Duzza going in dry. Just a different class of player.

[BlueSpark]

Lewis giving it the billy big balls, then consistently losing the leg

[ssjsa]

[Black Velvet]

Too easy.

[ssjsa]

Great performance from Glen Durrant. Averaged over 101 in a 10-4 demolition of Lewis.

[BlueSpark]

Great performance from Glen Durrant. Averaged over 101 in a 10-4 demolition of Lewis.

On the smaller segments as well. It really was a great performance.
Credit duly given.

Did Wattimena really average 82
