Lewis fucked.
Embarrassing tog filling by Lewis.
Both players well below par as the pressure showed.
Barney won’t be as poor next day hopefully.
Yeeeeeeeeeessssssssss.
Supreme match playing from Raymond van Barneveld.
Barney wins. His superior composure won the day.
Throws 16s to win. Good man Barney you sent me home with me tae in a mug.
BARNEY ARMY
Mardle is seething
Was never going to be a classic when they were paired so early on, but Barney will gain huge belief from that result. His price will tumble now.
Two great games there tonight.
Gritty stuff from Barney.
Good old reliable treble 18 sealed it for Barney in the last leg.
Fitting that Lewis is sponsored by Twyfords seeing as how he shat himself there.
Stats virtually incomprehensible there. Lewis with a higher average and twice as good on the doubles still loses.
Barney got to the doubles quicker than Lewis but his average was severely damaged by the amount of missed doubles he had.
There were legs were Barney had 5 or 6 missed doubles before he won the leg while Lewis was languishing on scores he could not check out from.
Higher C/O’s helped his average, but low scores left Barney ahead in too many legs.
How did he get to the doubles quicker if his average was worse? Was it that Lewis scored heavily in the legs he won?
Yep. Lewis had a more high checkouts than Barney, but was sluggish in the mid part of the legs.
The BDO influence on this year’s pdc tournament is, yet again, massive.
13 of the last 16 participants came from the BDO system - Adrian Lewis, Michael Smith and Darren Webster being the only exceptions.
It looks all but certain that for the 22nd time in 24 tournaments, the winner will be a product of the BDO.
Nobody gives a fuck about the BDO. Wait until their tournament starts before you bore us to death with your drivel.
The official, regulated BDO World Championship is the pinnacle of the sport, and the most watched tournament in the world, mate.
