Doets should be home and hosed missing all them doubles in the first two sets.

Kelt · Thursday at 23:04

Wow, stunning match!

And there goes Smiths ranking and Premier league hopes. Long season ahead for him next year.

That felt like a match that should've taken place in one of the later rounds over more legs.

Kelt · Thursday at 23:06

And Smith in the easiest draw...he'll be kicking himself from now until the New Year.

LtMatt · Thursday at 23:06

Absolute belter, congrats to Doets there holding his bottle.

9 180s and 16 140s brilliant scoring by Doets.

He’ll get in as a wildcard pick guaranteed

Must be an absolute sickener if you’re one of the big dogs in this and get took out before Christmas.

Probably ruins your whole Christmas Day!

I'm not so sure this time around. What a cracking pair of games to round off the night.

I agree, with his walk on and popularity, he gets one more Premier League i think assuming he wins no majors next year.

Sui · Thursday at 23:12

that was some final leg by Doets. Threw quick enough to not think about it!

Well the PL picks take place after the World's, so no chance for him to improve.

I know, but I think his profile keeps him in there for one more year. When is the lineup announced?

You reckon? What’s he done this season to get in it? Very hard to justify him a wildcard imo.

Same as Wright, Asp and Price from this seasons PL none of them have earned a place with their seasons efforts.

He might get in only cos there probably hasn’t been real 8 standout players this season.

It’ll be the 2 Lukes, MVG and after that I think it’s wide open to anyone who has a blinder here. De Decker should get in as a Sky major winner as they always get in it but he’s done nothing other than that so I dunno.

Smiths rankings have provisionally dropped from 2 to 15 in the world now, and it likely to drop further by the end of the tournament

Barry normally does it right at the end of the World's.

Not a surprise really Smith has fell off a cliff for a long time now poor form in pretty much every tournament for a while.
