Darts

Unread post by Simon Hickie »

Just watched a sensational performance from Rob Cross to beat Phil Taylor in Taylor's final match in the final of the PDC World Championship final. I fear that the BDO version beginning on Saturday will not have quite the same quality. As the PDC commented, the electrician from Kent has finally put the Power out.

RC turned pro in early 2017, so in his first season. He beat MvG in the semis. Taylor beat Anderson in the quarters. I watched Cross in a few ITV4 tournaments last year and thought then that he was one to watch. Probably one of the most nerveless players I've seen (unlike Martin Adams...).

More to it than that Doc, the accuracy is outstanding and the speed they can work out the check outs are mind boggling.

Going by Simon's post, so in theory Darts can have 2 world champions ?.

Blimey :shock: that shows how long it is since I watched. As soon as it appears I switch the TV over.

I prefer to play than watch. Am better after a few pints but more than that and I go down hill. A shame there are less pubs with dart boards.
