Well, when Vassos is one of those commentators...

Fair play to him, looked unlikely from behind in those last 2 sets. Won 5 of the last 6 legs in the end. Will be hard to beat now id say.
Devastator must be devastated 0 -

The PDC fans can say what they want but Lakeside has always been and remains a magnificent tournament, and I agree with Ted Hankey that that was the best match ever on that stage, and I've been watching since 1989. It had everything.
It backs up what I said earlier about the standard at this year's Lakeside being the best for a number of years, after that I'd say it's the best I've seen and if the final is anything like that there will be no doubt of that.
The commentary isn't magnificent, though...

Great match, good scoring from both and good checkout rate with both players getting ton plusers, Durrant I think got 133 & 139 in next leg? :eek: I didn't want to see wolfie win but it gives me an incentive to cheer on Mitchell tomorrow.sid waddell wrote: »Everything I've said has been bang on the mark. Are you watching it? Both players averaging over 101 after seven sets of the very highest quality.
So neither player finished the match with a 100+ average, to keep the total number at this years BDO world champions at zero. I've watched quite a lot and been commenting in this thread throughout. I'm not knocking the BDO but your talking out your hoop with what you've said its been entertaining, pity its the final tomorrow

Didn't they say few years ago it was pointless even offering it to him & just stopped his? I could swear I read that anyway!0 -

I think it was an invitation to part take in GSOD held in November, and they stopped inviting him because he kept refusing.
Have to say as a person I'd much rather be in the company of Adams over Taylor, as a darts player well it would be a different story.
To reply to the avgs there was 19 100+ in pdc in 71 matches. So 2 players per match = 19*100/142 = 13.38%. Taylor been the daddy getting 100+ in all his matches.
38 matches so far in BDO mens and no 100+.
1 in 2014 Stephen Bunting
1 in 2008 Daryl Fitton
1 in 2007 Martin Adams
1 in 2005 Raymond Van Barneveld
I not going back any further, but ya it does show a big gulf in the averages in fairness even though BDO has been entertaining this year.0 -

Well, it does have to be said that you don't seem to be criticising any aspect of this championship at all - the standards, the players, even the commentators... 0 -
And why exactly should I be criticising it after the greatest match that's ever been played in the competition and a superb tournament overall?Go Harvey Go wrote: »Well, it does have to be said that you don't seem to be criticising any aspect of this championship at all - the standards, the players, even the commentators...
Plenty of other people around to criticise if they so desire.
I've thoroughly enjoyed it and make no apology for doing so.0 -

What about the commentary, then? It certainly hasn't been perfect... 0 -

The standard of darts commentary across the board has gone down since the days of Green (before his health problems), Waddell, Gwynne and Lanning etc, but that's not a problem unique to the BDO.Go Harvey Go wrote: »What about the commentary, then? It certainly hasn't been perfect...
Croft and Part are probably the best at the moment (and they cut their teeth on BBC) but I'd certainly take Vassos Alexander, Jim Proudfoot and John Rawlings over most of Sky's commentators.
Ted Hankey on BT is probably the best analyst currently around.0
