BDO World Darts Championship

[BIG H]

Nice one. Nearly all the BDO winners must now be PDC players

That thread had some interesting averages.

BDO last 8 average
89.77
PDC last 8 average
99.00
BDO last 4 average
93.98
PDC last 4 average
97.12

This year the divide in class between the two really stood out. As I said earlier, the BDO are down to about 4 players that could potentially be top 32 in the PDC.

I think Chisnall is the most likely player to succeed Taylor at the moment. He just needs to sort out those nerves, which he will in time (This was his first time being in anything like that kind of sitaution)

Blimey, that's a big shout mate. Chisnall is clearly a top player but I didn't think looked anything special.

He never got his average out of the 90s for any match. Younger guys like Wade and Lewis are consistent 100+ average merchants. And in Wade's case a proven big time winner.

Also, a good run at Lakeside doesn't guarantee success. Jelle Klassen has never made the semi of a PDC TV comp and spent the last couple of years ranked between 30 and 40. Webster had had a shocking year on the PDC curcuit before the worlds.

Maybe you are right, but at the moment i'd be surprised if he was a top 10 player within the next 5 years.

Yeh, here what you are saying mate and you are probably right but I just have a hunch about Chisnall! He had a 97 average against O'shea BTW, fuck knows what is average was for the last 4 sets

Wade and Lewis both are guilty of not always taking matches seriously
enough, but are still both quality. By now I would've expected Lewis to have been very close to Wade and Barneveld, but he's lost ground because he got ahead of himself. Looks like he has got his head right now
though.

Nice to see another dart fan on here. I used to be fanatical about darts, but haven't seen a lot of the PDC tournaments over the past couple of years because I haven't got Sky Sports.

I love darts mate, it's my favourite sport to bet on.

I think it'll be Wade that takes over from Taylor. Even when he's playing poor he's tough to beat because he's excellent under pressure. And already has won four TV majors.

Lewis is an awesome scorer but an out-and-out bully. The minute someone matches him he folds. His finishing always goes to pot.

Whitlock was outstanding throughout the world champs. He's now moved to England to concentrate fully on the darts, so be interesting to see if he can keep that form going.

Shame you ain't got Sky.. you got the The Players Championship on ITV4 at the end of the month though

Yeh Whitlock was very good, huge improvement from him. Now he is over here and had his nice cheque from being runner up, he can focus 100% and play more tournaments, so he could be huge. Premier league is going to very interesting, best line up ever this year

I have got Sky, just not Sky sports coz I just never get a chance to watch anything (CBeebies dominates TV in our house)

I have not sky because I cannot afford it. Hoping Diane will help me with a link for the shane/berto fight.

I love darts too and i am gutted i can;t watch the PDC events as i dont have sky. I love the BDO since its a bit more competitive than the PDC and would love to go to the lakeside one day to watch it.

I hated Tony Greens commentating in the final he was so biased and wanted chizzy to win. Fair play it would have been a great story but Adams deserved it his finishing was killer at times. When he's on form that first dart alwasy flies into the T20. He has the customary wolfie blip about 5 sets into a match then manages to get through it.

IN the semi chizzy v O'Shea though. I think only Taylor would have been able to live with chizzy after the break. His scoring and finishing was awesome and i bet he had a crazy 100+ average for those final 4 sets. Great stuff.

He is one boring sod in front of camera though..can't talk.

I think getting Murray on board to present has been fantastic. Well done beeb.
