And we're off.
Thornton, Nicholson and Lewis through. Lewis was murder.
Can't see past Taylor. Would leave to see Anderson challenge but just can't see it.
Two each way outsiders, Newton and King. Just a guess.

Thought Barney was wonderful last night. Quite enjoyed Anderson's win too.
Aye Barney was superb. They are on course to play each other if they both win their next games....I think Barney will hammer Gary unfortunately.

Kevin Painter 80/1
Paul Nicholson 80/1
He would hammer most folk if he repeats that form.
Was glad to see King lose last night, although he showed a bit of class during Winstanley's post match celebrating on the stage, which you can't often say. Once we can get Andy Hamilton's Mrs off the screen we can properly get down to business!
Shame to see Huybrechts lose tonight, his mrs is always a sight to look forward to.
The next 3 days should be fun, 2 sessions per day with some great matches scheduled even though its only round 2, looks like being an outstanding tournament. I doubt we'll ever get a better session than last years semis, I had to leave when Wade was winning 5-1 so that i could get the last train back into Central London, was devastated when I got back to the hotel and found out the score!
Anderson all over the place with his doubles again today.
He's struggling here.
Almost threw my tv out of the window there. Superb scoring by Anderson but his doubles were a shambles. He could easily have won 4-1 but credit to Bowles who took his chances
Magic entertainment, watching Gary isnae good for the blood pressure tho!
According to PDC stats Gary hit 19 maximum's in that game, but 28% on his doubles.
Mental stats.
What was the score?
Brilliant entertainment!
Anderson's scoring was unbelievable but his doubling was shocking.
Bowles missed 3 darts at D20 to win the match and let Gary off the hook.
Credit to Bowles as he made Anderson pay after almost every error he made.
Looking forward to tonight aswell...
Taylor, Nicholson, Jenkins, Part and Thornton all on.
I'll be cheering on Jenkins, Part, Hendricks and hopefully, Thornton be the 2nd Scotsman through...
:saltireflag
Terry Jenkins hammers John Part 4-1 with 60% on the doubles and a 98 average.
Pretty impressive from the raging bull. :agree:
The quality of the darts has been brilliant. Thornton \ Nicholson at 3 sets all just now BUT.....
The crowd with their ****ty singing and general piss poor behaviour really is beginning to do my nut in, to the extent that I now watch with the sound off.
Well done Thornton, I've no idea how he managed to win that match, but, what a fantastic days darts.
The 2 Jocks did their best to lose, but, the entertainment factor was magic!
Chisnall is playing well
RVB v Anderson it is then, should be a cracker.
Not sure how the world rankings but that might be a must win for Anderson. He's 4th in the world, last automatic place for the Premier League and I can't see him getting one of the sponsor/tv wild card picks. Maybe it depends who the top 4 are right enough.
As ever it will probably come down to Andersons finishing as to whether he wins or not.
Great performance by Newton there, some player when he is on form. Just lacks a bit of consistency cos when he is bad he is REALLY bad, he doesnae have the knack of scraping through games when he isn't on form.
Dean Winstanley just hit a 9 darter against Van der Voort :top marks
Just realised that wade's walk on music is called bonkers. Fair play to him picking that after his recent health issues.
Hope Hamilton gets stuffed tonight. Get his missus off the telly
