    The BDO have announced their picks for the 2019 Grand Slam. They have included Glen Durrant as one of their picks as well as Lisa Ashton and Mikuru Suzuki. Interesting picks!

    There's no place for Leighton Bennett which is the right choice in my opinion.

    The full list of the BDO picks is below:

    BDO World Darts Championship 2019 Men's winner: Glen Durrant
    Women's World Championship 2019 winner: Mikuru Suzuki
    BDO World Trophy 2019 winner: Jim Williams
    BDO Men's number one: Wesley Harms
    BDO Women's number one: Lisa Ashton

    Next highest ranked men's players:
    Richard Veenstra
    Dave Parletti
    Wayne Warren

    Group H really stands out, very tough group.

    Suzuki has a slight chance of getting something but Lisa Ashton has no chance.

    Willie has a good chance of getting through his group if he can regain some form, tough for Lennon though with both Wade and White in his group.

    This could well be the first time that all 8 BDO players fail to get out of the group stages.

    Aside from Durrant, I'd give Veenstra and Warren great chances of getting out of their groups.

    Something that I heard on The Darts Show podcast yesterday hadn't occurred to me - as Glen Durrant is a BDO pick and is representing the BDO, any prize money that he wins will not count towards his PDC ranking. An interesting one!

    The schedule of play is also out now:

    Would be a bit of a downer if he managed to get to final or win it.

    People (correctly) gave out about the BBC spotters/camera-work, but Sky just managed the unique achievement of not showing us the correct segment on the last dart of a failed 9-dart attempt.

    18 players have played so far.

    3 of them bdo players.......and the 3 lowest averages of the 18 averages are by the bdo players.

    not one of them averaged over 89. And Wayne Mardle the man who never won a thing of note in his life calling the bdo players world class.

    and people wonder why people laugh at mardle and the bdo

    That was Wade third consecutive win over the "bdo #1".


    The bdo are abysmal, always have been.
    Wayne mardle calling them world class is an insult to the viewers intelligence

    he does not have to slate them , just stop insisting they are world class, when its evident they are not.,


    32 players played today, and the 7 lowest averages were the 7 bdo players.
    Mardle calling them world class is retarded.


    He would not have to make pathetic excuse after excuse if he did not hype them to the hilt.

    Do all 8 BDO representatives lost on the opening day. Not a great showing although I was impressed with Suzuki.

    Great performance by Willie in his win, despite the water!

    Webster spilt water over his equipment apparently. I'm sure it was just an accident.

    Jesus Willies got water on the brain! Didn’t he also have water issues with Lewis :)

    Another poor showing this afternoon from the BDO crew. Will any of them (bar Duzza) win a game?

    In fairness to Jim Williams he played well and stopped the rot.

    Parletti plays like he thinks he has no chance of winning.
