Peter Wright beats Adrian Lewis 7-2 with a 119.50 average, the second highest of all time. Lewis averaged 109 and got destroyed. Unreal.
The standard has just gone through the roof in recent years. The averages and 180’s just keep increasing.
What type of injury or illness did MVG have to rule him out tonight?
Some sort of back injury mate, you’d be sick if you bought a ticket for tonight and didn’t get to see the great man in action.
A proper sickener alright, all things going well he’ll smash Taylor’s world championship record.
Will never happen pal,Taylor had to beat fuck all for years while MVG will have to beat the new generation of unreal players.He will finish up somewhere around 10 or 11 but Taylor will never be touched.
True enough, if Taylor was staring out now he’d be lucky to get 7/8 world titles
If Taylor had stayed in BDO he wouldn’t even have won 8.
MVG sends Taylor home with tae in his mug from Rotterdam there.
Wright on the verge of beating van Gerwen, for those into this sort of thing.
He’s just bottled it.
Missed six match darts.
10-10 in a race to 11.
He’s missed 6 match darts, you’ve jinxed him. 10-10 now a final leg shoot out for the title.
MVG bangs in a 180.
Snakebite’s throwing got boa constricted at just the wrong time.
He’s just lost 11-10.
Wright just got Mayo’d.

That’s harsh on Mayo.
Hardly. Wright only missed six darts in a row. Mayo lost eight finals in a row.
Bad comparison Sid, whats the biggest lead Mayo have ever squandered in an AI final?
Six points, I believe, twice. Which again makes it not harsh on Mayo.
When was this? They must have been a while back or were early leads, I don’t recall Mayo ever throwing away a seemingly unassailable lead like Wright did tonight.
Both times in 1996.
They led 1-8 to 0-5 after 50 minutes or so of the first match.
They then led 1-5 to 0-2 after about 25-30 minutes of the replay.
