Awesome match winning on the tie break.
Gutted for Cullen.
Agree Cullen is frustrating to watch but I have warmed to him because he has a strange throwing action wide from his right ear, he has to be at a disadvantage
He was broken walking off.
I thought that the Littler RVB game was awesome but this one takes it for drama.
He's had a few kickings like tonight. It's something he doesn't seem to be able to sort. 2-0 up in the final set and he throws 58, 60, 58, 41, 59. He hits one treble after 18 darts, T7, and is on 165 after 18 thrown. That's piss poor, even accounting for nerves, especially after a 13 dart break of throw.
Absolutely. What I can't work out is that he must know it's a problem, but I guess correcting it is even worse.
I heard a story about John Henderson and pros tried to correct that weird rocking motion he had towards the oche whenever he threw. He was rubbish if he stood still!!
Kerry O'keefe??? (Aussie cricketer with a strange bowling style)
I meant of course Ceri Morgan...

I've always thought this, same as players like Chisnall and Bunting. More talented than a Wade or an Aspinall but just lacking a bit of mental toughness and belief when push comes to shove. Michael Smith was the same for ages, Gary Anderson too before him, as I remember, so it's not something that can't be overcome.
It's interesting what MacAdder and Eric are saying here though. Having a slightly unorthodox action may handicap you to a degree, just as it would in golf or snooker. Surely though, these guys throw so many darts in practice that they should be able to rely on the process in the crunch moments? If it was all about the throwing action then Van den Bergh would be world number 1 and Jocky Wilson wouldn't have got further than the pub leagues.
Dobie seemingly strolling to the semis at 4 nil needing one more then Cross scrambles a set and turns the tide.
4-2 and Dobie gets a dart for the match but misses the bull.
4-3 and all to play for.
Edit Cross breaks straight away!
Cross on a TB. It's happened again.
Heartbreaking for Dobie.
Does anyone happen to know how old Luke Littler is? He’s good isn’t he.
Only managed to watch snippets of the Littler win but looks like it was pretty convincing, 5-1.
