Rob Cross v Gurney was a fantastic match, both ended on Average 99, but was pretty much that the whole time. Cross getting the most 180's in a match 13, with 13 140s, Gurney got 8 (i think) but 20+ 140s. Such a high quality match and good to see Cross in a bit of form, barely missed the treble 18 when he went for it. Gurney just didn't give up, always chasing but in the end Cross takes out 170 to save a deciding leg
Peter Wright struggled early, i fell asleep so missed him hitting some form lol
People moaning , saying it’s a farce , in my opinion they are doing the right thing carrying on. What else can you do? Cancel the whole thing and replay it when exactly ?

Wright hit top form after dispensing with his new darts that looked like they were from the 1970's.

Was bound to happen, they looked far too chunky and long. So expected him to change them as he does
Nathan Aspinall has the haircut of a lesbian HGV driver that wears camo trousers.
Cannot believe that Aspinal’s haircut has been mentioned before Rydz’s combover.
Having just dumped Aspinall on his arse in fairly spectacular fashion I don't think Rydz will be too fussed what people think of his rather dishevelled appearance!
During the commentary Rod Studd described Rydz as a man who could make an Armani suit look scruffy.

My mother-in-law had darts (now handed down to my grandson no 2) that seemed to weigh about 2½lb each and had feather flights.
I didn't know whether to try and throw them or launch them out of a cannon.
I really liked Smith and Clayton how they actually had alot of respect for each other, it was a nice change. Both applauding a good checkout, was a cracking match but Cross v Gurney shaded it personally for me maybe as i like Cross so bias?

That was really nice to see.
Jonny won a leg with a bullseye finish (161 checkout) and the very next leg Bully Boy completed a 121 checkout with the bull. The camera cut to Clayton who had a big smile on his face, broke into a little chuckle, and then offered out his hand for a fist bump.
I know it's the World Championships, I know it's important, I know it's competitive ... but isn't it great to see players enjoying themselves and, just as importantly, acknowledging their opponent's good play instead of going 'full-on Gezzy' and being a boorish tool on stage.
Bringing ourselves back to today's play ... well done Merv!
3-1 down to Raymond Smith, and came back to win 4-3.

I genuinely can't stand looking at him.

Any chance of watching 3 matches?
Looks like it’s a proper COVID hotspot so no surprises my guests are letting me down last minute…

Great game.
Anderson or Cross awaits in the quarters.
This evening's line-up:
Wade v Kleermaker
Anderson v Cross
Wright v Searle
Should be tasty ...
Emma Paton or Laura Woods??
