Great to see a big crowd at the Palace, while here in Ireland a reduced cinema audience has to be gone by 8pm.

PsychoPete · 03-01-2022 9:58pm

Nice of Smith to finally turn up

mdwexford · 03-01-2022 9:59pm

Right back in it now.

That set has settled him nicely.

boomdocker · 03-01-2022 9:59pm

Brilliant. Game on.

This final has burst into life after a slow start. Some class checkouts in the last few legs.

ctrl-alt-delete · 03-01-2022 10:08pm

Two sets each now,

So close to being 3-1 there, Wright will be annoyed with himself.

03-01-2022 10:09pm

Pyke's annoying... "BIGGEST LEG OF THE FINAL!"

WD Smithy - hanging in there

Any chance we can talk about the darts?

ThebitterLemon · 03-01-2022 10:11pm

That could be a huge momentum swinging leg!

homah_7ft · 03-01-2022 10:12pm

Great to see they are picking it up now.

Deeper Blue · 03-01-2022 10:13pm

I wouldn't fancy Smith on the doubles if it gets to 6-6

Swaine · 03-01-2022 10:15pm

Fair to say the 32.5 overs on 180s will be wiped out easily.

shockframe · 03-01-2022 10:17pm

Mardle: Who's in charge!!

It'll be wiped in about 5 legs at this rate

ThebitterLemon · 03-01-2022 10:24pm

Wrights first dart is way off tonight, was nailing it last night but he’s way more wayward tonight.

He didn’t change his darts again did he?

boomdocker · 03-01-2022 10:25pm

Still very hard to call, neither has really hit their A game yet

Choochtown · 03-01-2022 10:26pm

Smith just looks so stressed.

I wonder has he someone backstage who could have a word with him or are they on their own back there?

He seems to be mentally beating himself up over every imperfect dart and doesn’t seem to be throwing as smoothly as he has done all week. He even lurched forward (Mensoresquesly) for a final dart in that last leg which is so unSmithlike.

Kingp35 · 03-01-2022 10:26pm

That was a huge set to win for Wright as all momentum was with Smith.

The crowd are really annoying the hell out of me. Booing a player in a World final.

I'm hugely up for Wright because of them.

dubrov · 03-01-2022 10:26pm

I think the crowd are getting to Wright and he has thrown a few petulant darts

Charlie19 · 03-01-2022 10:29pm

Does the crowd not make a good atmosphere?

Mardle did mention Smith sometimes walking the last dart a couple of times during the week.

Choochtown · 03-01-2022 10:31pm

Smith's body language looks like that of a beaten man.

We're back to "with throw" in sets. He needs to loosen up.

I think Wright is there for the taking if he does.

Kingp35 · 03-01-2022 10:38pm

Some big misses from Wright. He should be well ahead here.

ctrl-alt-delete · 03-01-2022 10:41pm

What a set from Smith to take the lead.

4-3

PsychoPete · 03-01-2022 10:41pm

Smiths switching to 19s is very impressive

homah_7ft · 03-01-2022 10:41pm

This is a tense one. Could still see either fall apart.

ThebitterLemon · 03-01-2022 10:42pm

Wright is all over the place. Smiths heavy scoring gives him a chance in almost every leg, can he keep his nerve on the doubles?

TbL

Kingp35 · 03-01-2022 10:42pm

Wright is starting to wilt. Very poor set. I wonder is fatigue playing a part here?

boomdocker · 03-01-2022 10:42pm

I think Smith wins it from here. Snakebite looks knackered to me

Degag · 03-01-2022 10:43pm

Indeed it does. Ireland's status has no relevance to it however. There's a Coronavirus forum for all that. Shouldn't be mentioned in a darts thread. I think we are all sick of talking about it!
