Wright's 10, 11, 11 dart legs were insanely good. Averaging 115 after 24 legs was phenomenal- he knacked his average a bit with those missed doubles at the end.

Soon as MVG feels the pressure, he caves yet again.
In relative terms of course but he becomes an Aspinall level player when it happens.

So weird he looked a shoe in to he Taylors successor.
Honestly thought the game was in trouble when he was in his late 20s. It was he, Anderson and Wright that were so far ahead they could only give each other a game and those other 2 were hitting their 50s at the time. Darts was popular during Taylors time but its exploded now without 1 man dominating

Hope this one will be a cracking game, love them both as players. My head says it will be Wright, but feels written in the stars for Dimi retaining his title in front of a crowd this time.

I like the respect these two are showing each other. Not sure who I want to win.

Pretty flat start, hopefully it gets going more.
Wonder how much the fact they're mates is putting a lid on it, albeit neither are big shouters or whatever anyway.

Yeah was not expecting fire works other than on the board itself. Plus don't see the crowd turning on either of them also so all the magic will have to come on the board tonight.
Hopefully we get some clutch checkouts. Would be sublime if one of them did a 9 darter, but that will be asking too much :D

Crowd is weirdly quiet. Quality flown up now.
