Disagree. Watching a practise session of any sport is not entertaining. Its the competition that is entertaining. There is no competition here. At least when Whitlock was playing outrageous darts earlier, Wade was ready to pounce, and if given the chance, he would take it. That isnt happening here. Its shit.
This. Exactly this.
It looks as if Lewis just wants off the stage, never mind be ready to put up a scrap.

Whitlocks first set today is something that I couldn't quite grasp then, and still can't. I know it's been done to death over the last three/four pages, but it was a phenomenal performance.
Taylor is walking this. Lewis has missed a couple of chances, but Taylor is relentless.

That was an awesome set. From both players.
Not that I want to bone the guy or that, but how does that first set stack up beside Whitlocks today?

Just for Rod Harrington, I hope somebody wins 5 zip.

This is decent like.
How many darts in that set? Sublime.
Decent??? FUCKING DECENT??!
Wash yer mouth out man!!!

Whitlock on his game is an absolutely awesome sight. Those 170 and 150 outshots - I mean come on to f**k. He is relentless and unerring.
They may have been building it up (in fact they still are) but there is no way that Lewis vs Taylor, indeed any other match in this tournament will come close to what Whitlock is producing here.

That 6th set was absolutely incredible. Unbelievable stuff.

Aye, full credit to Wade there. It'll break my heart, but I can see Wade romping away with it now.

I consider myself to be a bit of a novice when it comes to watching the darts - well, since I started looking at this thread anyway - but I have to say I'm stunned at Whitlock in these two sets.
He's awesome.

I've found a new sporting hero - what a fucking set of darts that was!!
37 darts to win a set? Jesus H.
Keep it up Wizard!

More of that please Whitlock - what an opening leg.

Whether or not the missus is good enough to let me watch the second game, I hope Whitlock gives Wade a right shooin. I dunno why, but I just cannae stick " The Machine" at all.

Webster running away with the 8th set now.

Webster is beginning to look rattled - whilst at the same time Stompe is coming onto a game.

Its just so Sid has something else to natter on about.
BTW, you can get over 10/1 on a Whitlock, Baxter and Stompe treble!
There's a man who needs NO excuse to come out with rancid keech, eh?
I've been highly impressed with Whitlock, I have to say. He doesn't seem fazed at all. That treble is VERY tempting...

Cheers for all the answers to my wee query last night. I bow to your superior knowledge gents. I kinda understand the 3 dart average stat now - what I still don't understand though is why it's a fulcrum of the commentary!
But hey.

As opposed to?
What I mean is, will they include shite attempts at finishes as well? Hamilton and Wade were both shocking in one leg in particular earlier on, with Hamilton ending up on x2 if I mind right.
It just seems a bit silly for the commentators to bang on about averages and how they have to be as high as possible, when those statistics can be skewed by dodgy finishing.
I know that probably makes no sense at all - sorry, one or two beers tonight.

I dunno if this has been answered before, so sorry if there's any repetition.
How exactly do they work out the "3 dart averages"? What I mean is, what darts do they take into account? Is it only the darts taking the player from 501 down to a finish?
It's confused me for a while, well, certainly since it started to become an integral part of statistics and commentary.

Two games (at the moment) will be played tonight - Van Der Voort will play Duo, and the prelim game between Muramatsu of Japan and Kciuk of Poland.
As Bristow says - feel sorry for the qualifiers, because it looks as if there will be a very sparse crowd.
Bit of a shambles really!
EDIT - John Part is only a couple of miles away so might make it, but I dunno who he's due to play.

This is a really solid innings from Swann, and a cracking six there from Anderson.
And that gentlemen, is the ultimate kiss of death.

He's the founder of the BDO and has been the 'ringmaster' for the whole operation since it began - I think officially he's the Chairman of the organisation. Hearn, though, wants to hear replies from all 60 or so shareholders before taking the next step.
I knew he was the founder of the BDO, I just wondered what their constitution was like that entitled him to dismiss the offer out of hand. Perhaps that's just frivolous headline writing? I dunno.
Woman in my work used to play at County level and was Scottish champion, and she hasn't got many kind words to say about Olly Croft - she told me of a time when an Open Competition was set up in George Street in Edinburgh - all the big guns of the time were there, Jocky Wilson, Eric Bristow, Rod Harrington etc, and the County players were told by Croft that if they entered it, they'd be barred from playing County thereafter.
He may be right about some of the PDC stuff, but he sounds a prize clown.

The whole "3 dart average" thing mystified me earlier.
At one point, I cannae mind what set it was, but Taylors average was on screen as being 107.5. He threw a 96 I think it was (certainly less than a ton anyway) and his average jumped to 107.88!! I'm no maths whizz, but how the f**k is that?
I absolutely refuse to be drawn into this averages pish. Legs won will do me.
