Will be interesting to see how she gets on in the BDO women’s championship. She’s 2/1 fav atm.

I think it's an over-reaction tbh, I still think Suzuki is an all-round better player.

Plus, she’ll be back on the BDO boards with the harder scoring.

I really think Beaton’s getting a bit long in the tooth now to keep calling himself the Bronzed Adonis

 

[Kelt]

What is with the dart boards this event, they start looking really ragged early on.

 

[el_dazza]

Next match he’ll probably drop into the mid 90’s. He’s so inconsistent. Sometimes just leg to leg.

Spot on, looks like he'll get spanked 4-0.

 

[el_dazza]

Soon as I say that he reels off 6 legs out of 7 and trails just 3-2.

He's HORRIBLY inconsistent.

That’s the thing. If you had money on him, you’d be a nervous wreck as you just don’t know when he’s going to collapse again.

And he’ll never win a major where you have to win 6 matches in a row against top players with that level of inconsistency.

 

[el_dazza]

3 sets all. Cue the De Zwaan collapse with a 57 averave.

 

[el_dazza]

De Zwaan led by a break in the final set and lost. He hit a real purple patch but when he plays poorly, he's bang average.

 

[robfosters]

Wright wasn’t anywhere near his best either. Peters a ton plus average player when he’s firing.

 

[eola]

Wright was way under average that game.Still a pretty decent game to watch though.
Durrant should be a great game.

Durrant's a bit of a dark horse for me. Pretty consistent but I think his top level is probably good enough to get him to the semis. You can't underestimate any BDO champion, there's few that switched to the PDC and flopped.

 

[eola]

Absolutly dazza, i got some respect for durrant coming from the BDO as a champ, in his own words being a champ in the BDO is nice but the PDC players are next level.

In the last decade or so, there’s only been four champions defect iirc, Barney, Bunting, Klaasen and Durrant. I’d argue that Klaasen and Bunting have been flops, Barney obviously not and it remains to be seen with Durrant.

Gary Anderson is ex-BDO isn't he? As was MVG! Whitlock too.. they're not bad

True, but never BDO champions. In fact, Gary was an absolute flop in the worlds. Got so peed off with it one year, he threw his darts in the lake

 

[eola]

To be consistant in the PDC is no mean feat.Time wil tell with durrant.

Haha i remember that, walked off at lakeside and launched them in the lake and went home!!

 

[Michael Myers]

this match is painful at the moment

 

[eola]

Indeed!!
