Darts world championship 2022/2023

[2HFL]

Shaping up to be a classic night of top quality arrows!

[The Road Crew]

Littler 2up and cruising along... Looks likely to whitewash Barney unless he gets his finger out...

[carlo996]

Great night so far.

[Lotus Notes]

Good stuff from the youngster. Not at all overawed by the occasion.

3-0

Something special happening here.

Not really.

He's averaging 104.7 which isn't marvellous. He just happens to be hitting his finishes.

Maybe something special is hitting his finishes? (with an average >104)

[Jordie Barretts sock]

I don't think it is.

In fact his average has dropped now. He is hitting his doubles, that's why he's winning. Mind you, so far this tournament 104 average is pretty good I suppose.

[carlo996]

I’d say it’s special! Tough crowd, even Barney smiled when that 170 almost came off. Absolutely no fear.

But, that's largely the point of the game. You don't need to score big if you are finishing at first attempt.

No point having a 110 average, and a 20% finishing rate, if the other guy is averaging only 100 but has a 75+% finishing stat.

[WindyCommon]

He’s 16 guys.

He is showing remarkable maturity, control, presence of mind etc for a 16 year old.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

I don't disagree aero, I don't think playing the game properly is something special.

Yeah, he's good, yeah he's doing what he's supposed to, but just because he's 16 doesn't make this 'something special'.

Not marvellous? You serious? ... That's the 3rd highest of the tournament so far, and littler holds the 2nd already (106) only Bunting has done better so far (107)

Only mvg averaged above 104 in last years tournament I think.

Read my next comment. I said in the context of this competition I suppose it isn't bad.

Anyway, I'll agree to disagree with you all.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Now a 170 to win would have been something else!

But clever knowing he didn't need to.

Nearly 105 average is pretty special these days. The 110 averages have tailed off completely since Taylor retired.

[2HFL]

Don’t see any other 16 year olds doing this, can’t remember any before either.

What a result.

[mikebradford]

Impressive for someone so young and under so much media spotlight.
Potential to go on to be a big name in the sport.

Think he was just over 105 in the end.

Absolutely outstanding from him.

[carlo996]

16, just beaten one of the best of all time, setting up 170’s for fun..not special

Great performance, I really hope he’s got some good people around him to protect him as it’s going to blow up.
