PDC World Darts Championship 2019/20

US2

I've played against Ciaran a few times this year and watch him play every week. Great to see how confident he is here, not fake confidence either he genuinely believes hes a top player. Well able to average over the ton. Cant wait to see him over the next year or 2

How's the 180 numbers looking healio? On track for the 900 or a bit off it?

We are slightly ahead of the total after day 3 last year (incl. for reference to 880 scored last year).

More worryingly though have lost White, Cross & Smith with MVG only having 1 so far. However, Luke Woodhouse and Luke Humphries are both filling in nicely for the moment.

Player Date Played Sets Won Legs Won Tourn. 180's Per Set Tourn. Legs Per 180 140+ 180s High Checkout 180's Per Set Legs Per 180
13-Dec Day 1 17 77 1.7059 2.6552 29 1.7059 2.6552
14-Dec Day 2 31 137 1.7292 2.5783 54 1.7419 2.5370
15-Dec Day 3 32 141 1.7500 2.5357 57 1.7813 2.4737
Total 80 355 1.7500 2.5357 140


Vs Same Period Last year

Year Sets Won Legs Won Tourn. 180's Per Set Tourn. Legs Per 180 140+ 180s
2019 77 314 1.7143 2.3788 132


With that 180 rate of 1.7500 180's per set played:

If all matches from here end up 3-0 legs and X - 0 Sets we have:
267 sets left; returning a tournament total of 347 Sets and 607 180's.

If all matches from here end up 3-2 legs and go the distance (excluding tie-breaks) we have:
459 sets left; returning a tournament total of 539 Sets and 943 180's.

Mid point of the extremes has us at:
363 sets left; returning a tournament total of 443 Sets and 775 180's.

No too worried at this stage, the business end starts in round 3. Crucial few days coming up, still optimistic.

Sportingindex are now middling the market at 870.5 (Buy 863; Sell 878).

On there day the 3 irish lads could win , and dolan is a very tricky player for anderson to face , anderson is ideal player to fall to upset, terrible year and even in his best years was shakey in first match. i hope im wrong as anderson and durrant are the only 2 that i have a interest in bar our own lads

Lennon is likely to get a tough game. Has had a disappointing season.

O connor is the one you would expect to progress. Looked alright at the players champ last month.

Keane Barry got a very tough draw. Looks a good prospect and at 17 has nothing to lose really.

Anderson had wobbles at lakeside but ally pally has been a lot different. Hes always been there or thereabouts. Unless he does a 'Barney' on it he should progress.

sc86

anderson has had a few huge scares in his early round games over the years , and that when he was playing well
he had match darts again him one of the years he won it

his year hasnt been a million times better than barneys , hes defending a few pound also so is under pressure

Dolan also has a good record against Anderson, it's 8-8 in head to head between them. Dolan is a slow, methodical player of exactly the type Anderson hates playing and loses the head against.

If Dolan can average 95-98 he has a great chance of winning. He averaged 97 in R1.

Will I Am Not

Anderson’s heart doesn’t seem to be in it anymore.

Was looking at the path of some players.


Wade has the winner of kotslov and edhouse, then the winner of Kyle anderson and beaton, after that if he wins has darius/hopp/clemens or Benito,


should he woin those 3 easier game, he would meet MVG in the last 8, and his record against MVG is as good as anyones,


Expect MVG to win easily, but were wade to turn him over, he would be in the semis.


Aspinall plays Baggish and should win with ease to set up a match with Ratajski/Zoran, and if he comes through that would play the winner of the Gando/Dolan/West section. so is in with a good shout

Think Aspinal will do well again this year.

I’ve been impressed with him this year, proved last year wasn’t a flash in the pan

And Dolans style (throwing not shirts) will drive Anderson cracked

All the Irish to win tonight is around 20/1, tiny bet for interest

sc86

If Dolan beats Anderson I’ll run around Eyre Square wearing nothing but a hideous Hawaiian floral shirt

It has ruined a great first set for me.

Great darts by Lennon.

PsychoPete

Good start from Lennon! Do these lads know theres darts on because theres a lot of cricket talk

peteeeed

Great start lennon, I know they've got to promote the cricket but what was that?

KevIRL

Some way to win the first set

ctrl-alt-delete

This one has turned right around

vriesmays

Letting it slip.

ctrl-alt-delete

Rydz has really settled down, fairly fast throwing at the trebles.

Loafing Oaf

Pressure telling on them both now

munster87

Nicely timed 180

Final game decider, Rydz with the darts and a 140 to start

Rydz wins it, Lennon had his chance,

munster87

Disappointing, finishing could have been better, no excuse

Liamalone

Lennon did well to get it to a decider then blew it.

vriesmays

Three more chances.

shockframe

Lennon played better than I expected. Bit unlucky not to win. Rydz looks a decent player.

Good game.

Extremely tilting to watch alright

Good win Willie

PTH2009

Great win

Come on Keane

Dolan is not one of our own ha, same with Gurney ha

Kingp35

I think Barry's darts land too flat in the board for such a fast player.

Degag

The camera work has been fairly shoddy on a few occasions so far i've noticed.

We've seen it in a few tournaments this year but generally not on Sky from what i remember....

They go in in some strange angles alright. And some velocity!

sc86

Some player for 17 wow

irishgeo

Would he not be better slowing down his throwing.

bassy

vdv playing well

peteeeed

Great learning experience for Barry, the talent is there, his grouping is excellent

Kingp35

Good to see Dolan adding to his ever increasing collection of horrendous shirts.

Porthallian

Gary Anderson reminds me of Mrs Doyle with those glasses

Bob Harris

I think Brendan has been using hair colouring.

Dolan is awfull to watch

Especially when he's playing awful. Could easily be 3-0 this.

Must be record low average to win a set 3- 0
Just 79

Makes you wonder how bad Dolan was.
