I must be well out of the darts loop, never seen this Wright fella before :pac:

Like his demeanor though, seems like a cool customer.

But looks ridiculous.

Wright has just been lethal on that double 16. It looks a certainty every time he wants it.

wright is going to crumble like a tower of cards now - sdnakebite has been shellshocked

Lads is it a big surprise to see Wright going so well. He was seeded 16 I think at the start of the tournament. What's his form been like all yr

wut? He's consistently on 100 average all game

that's true, whitlock upped his to win his first set. They've both been very consistent with Wright just scoring that bit better and super finishing especially on the 16´s.

Shame his Darts name isn't "Turtle Man" or that would have been quite a decent pun.

Aidric

In all seriousness, does Wright play regularly in the PDC? He is a new name to me.

the wizard has cast his spell on snakebite, there'll be no more rabbits popping out of his hat - snakebite has been bewitched

We can only hope that Wright takes at least this form into the final, because he will need to. Hope he doesn't do a Hamilton and be annoyingly consistent all the way through, only to deflate in the final and give us a one-sided game.

Hope not, Hamilton was class that year till the final.

Hes been improving rapidly over the last 18 months or so.

Wasnt expecting this level but he was a lively outsider.

Brilliant from Snakebite there conducting the crowd

barone

that was awesome from snakebite

gramar

well deserved...got nervous on his own throw but pulled it back and if he can reproduce the same form as he has all tournament it will take really good darts to beat him.

barone

jesus sky,straight into mvg v lewis ..give wright some credit time at least

donfers

now the real final can begin

Will I Amnt

Most consistent performer of the tournament. Full deserving of a place in the final. Best of luck to him. He's going to need a bit.

SKY's trademark is overhyping sporting events to comical levels. Going straight to MvG/Lewis is only them staying true to form.

tayto lover

Wright just choked the life out of Whitlock there.
Never allowed him back into the game at all once he got ahead.
Great darts.

donfers

come on jackpot, cash your chips against the dutch cueball

KevIRL

Brilliant stuff from Wright. Delighted with that for a few reasons

donfers

wright can barely string a sentence together, looks like he is happy enough just to be in the final, wouldn't be a good role model for darts if he won either as he is not exactly a wordsmith and it's important that darts targets a more literate upmarket and articulate audience in order to grow

Jaysus.. Way to kill the guy's buzz after a fantastic performance. Glad you weren't interviewing him! :eek:

Hoping Lewis wins

I agree, he's a B+ player, him being the face of darts wouldn't be best for business.























This was a parody post and not meant to be taken seriously

I like MVG, would like to see him take on Wright in the final.

Anyone's a better role model for darts than Taylor, so consider it a step in the Wright direction.

king Henry 14

MVG to win 6-4.

he looks nervous on tv, he is new to all this, just a normal joe soap
would you prefer taylor talking out his arse

i dont think anybody will turn of the darts because a certain player didnt study law

Peter Wright playing in the 1995 Embassy...

grey_so_what

I must dig out the Mensa booklet of tests for the winner of this.....:)

Soft Falling Rain

Not that familiar with darts but I was surprised at how visibly rattled Whitlock was from early on.

Come on Lewis!

Beginning to dislike MVG. All that fist pumping sh1te is starting to grate.

100 mph start here.

that's the one - thing is she wasn't so great a few years ago, really blossomed in recent times

come on jackpot - up that average son, it may take 105 to knock over the cueball

messinkiapina

Off to a bit of a slow start there, hopefully it picks up!

gugsy

:eek: Set over already i just sat down

BNMC

Sky are very optimistic with their 11pm finish time.

KevIRL

This is fantastic stuff to watch

donfers

mvg's constant body gyrations are an irritant - the rafa nadal of the darting world, unlucky in that set jackpot - you'll get back in this match yet

wadacrack

MVG just too good..I think 6-3 to Van Gerwen

Will I Amnt

Phenomenal stuff here from both players. MvG taking the chances. Lewis is going to have to crank it up a notch.

KevIRL

Regretfully Snakebite wont have a chance against any of these two in this form

Pudzianowski

If mvg keeps this up, I'd be surprised if Lewis doesn't try something to rough him up a bit!
