    clayton hits the 9 darter

    Follows it with 11 and 12 darters. 3 legs in 32 darts, nice going.

    Tough watching Durrant there, confidence shot to bits and I can't see him picking up points in the remaining games unless Ando throws one of his wobbler games.

    I honestly think he's finished as a top level player. Even before he got Covid he was struggling. He won last years Premier League with averages on finals night in the 80's and very low 90's. His throw is completely gone, to miss 16 darts at double last night is a crazy stat for Duzza.

    He's a very likeable player and it's tough to watch but he's going to tumble down the rankings this year along with Rob Cross.

    Can happen unfortunately
    Was watching some program last night about Gerwyn Price and his rise through the rankings
    At one stage they showed a graphic, I think 2017 or 2018, Benito vd Pas at world no 12/13?
    Hasn't even got a tour card now

    BvP's throw went as well. Similar happened to Mark Webster too and many other players.

    Adrian Lewis is another one that's clinging on by the skin of his teeth. He could tumble down the rankings this year too because currently he's not going to be in any of the major TV tournaments bar the Worlds.

    Does Durrant have a touch of dartitis? Looks to me like he's struggling to let go of the dart a bit, maybe I'm imagining it.

    Watching the Durrant MvG game tonight, probably the worst I've ever seen MvG play, averaged only 87. Still beat Durrant comfortably though.

    Probably best for duzza to be eliminated in a few weeks time, can't see him picking up a single point. The way he's playing I wonder if he'll ever come back from this. I think it's that bad. Sad to see.

    Fixtures tonight:

    Glen Durrant vs Jose de Sousa

    Rob Cross vs Dimitri Van den Bergh

    Nathan Aspinall vs Jonny Clayton

    Peter Wright vs James Wade

    Michael van Gerwen vs Gary Anderson

    Agree with Bassy, getting hard to watch this without the crowd and the same players playing each other. I'm more looking forward to the tour events this weekend

    I never watched it before lockdowns but I’m watching now as there’s not much else to do...

    I’m also watching some of the online live league and there’s been some decent games.

    Richie Burnetts mad throw seems to have settled down a bit, must be auld age as he’s not launching himself off the ground as much :)

    aye must be very tough,hit a lot of wayward darts as in single 1,s 5,s
    just goes to show how difficult darts can be even for pros,takes special players to maintain good form over long yrs and still be up there like ando wade etc

    always gritty and has been for years,he is a long time at the top end of darts and still a difficult player to play.you have to earn it to get a result v him.

    compare lewis who would of came on the scene around the same time as wade,and compare the 2 now to where each are,no contest.

    Seems to have improved his scoring lately too.

    If you’d to pick a man to hit a double to save your life it’d be Wade for me!

    especially x10

    or a man to take out a 2 dart finish at a clinical point in a match.

    No. Was funny when someone shouted out to Jose how to finish 16 though.
