I dont know what the final 3 dart averages were for the match but after a few sets they were a pitiful 92

In the PDC Phil Taylor had 107 average in the final and the runner up, Barney, did 102!

Apparently o'shea is heading to the pdc...

It is not always averages and statistics that make a good match!

So you think that watching 2 pretty decent players play an average class match is better than watching the worlds best fight it out playing a far better game?

A lot of it is the personalities of the players etc too I think, and if you prefer one in a match to another

hold on are you saying that the difference between a 3 dart average of 92 and 107 isn't a lot?

it's MASSIVE!

I think they said that back in the Jocky Wilson says that you'd win a world title doing a 94 average. Today that won't get you far at all

your on about this one game, ive seen plenty of them averaging 100+ seen plenty of 180's seen plenty of maximum checkouts, seen plenty of 9, 10,11 dart legs

seen a better atmospohere and closer games which could go either way ALOT better darts IMO

You must be watching a different darts game to me if you think the BDO has a better atmos than the PDC

BDO final sounded like a day at the morgue in comparison to the PDC final

both the finals in question were good tayler is the best in the world by a long shot and is amasing to watch but with the other lot its more like real darts you might see down the pub, i saw quite a few over the last week fook up just like i do when playing matches so i can relate to them betterand i may say using more doubles to finish, i mean when was the last time it went right down to double 1 on sky

both finals were great n last nights was the best ive seen

Was great to watch, even missus liked it....!

Great entertainment though.
