    What a match Anderson was in there, hes the most exciting player to watch, simply because he can not hit a double for his life..
    If he could get his doubles sorted he would be world no 1 no probs..

    Typical Anderson, 19 180s ,23 140s and could not hit a double halfway through game
    Great game to watch

    Unfortunately thats why he wont win it. Not saying Bowles is not a good player he obviously is but the top players will punish Anderson missing doubles.

    I think some people look through Scottish tinted specs with Anderson, the reason he won't win it doesn't need to be as detailed as "his doubles are dodgy". It can be narrowed simply to "he's not good enough"

    Personally I have more confidence in Thornton.

    Although I have to admit I wouldn't mind eating my words on Anderson.

    I aint a scot and follow darts alot, Anderson could easily be the best in the world, his bottle at crucial moments is whats missing, Taylor, Lewis, Thornton wouldnt have let Bowles play like that because they would have hit crucial doubles to break him, Anderson dosent..

    Anderson is definitely good enough. He doesn't have the nerve to win it though. Winstanley is the biggest bottler I've seen in a long time though.

    That was a brillent 9 darter by Dean, also Van Gerwan was unreal after the went 2 sets down, i taught he might of peaked last month but it looks like he's keeping the form up for this tournament aswell..

    This Newton Walsh game has been shocking. Walsh is averaging 79 and Newton not much better at 85.

    The Anderson vs Barney game is going to be a cracker. Both are heavy scorers so it will come down to who hits their doubles.
