Just watched a sensational performance from Rob Cross to beat Phil Taylor in Taylor's final match in the final of the PDC World Championship final. I fear that the BDO version beginning on Saturday will not have quite the same quality. As the PDC commented, the electrician from Kent has finally put the Power out.

Who's Rob Cross?, what happened to Raymond Van Barnaveld, Van Gerwen, Gary Anderson and that Suljovic guy?,
i like Darts but you don't see much of it on terrestrial tv's now, only pay per view.

Fat people drinking beer and throwing things

RC turned pro in early 2017, so in his first season. He beat MvG in the semis. Taylor beat Anderson in the quarters. I watched Cross in a few ITV4 tournaments last year and thought then that he was one to watch. Probably one of the most nerveless players I've seen (unlike Martin Adams...).

Strictly only mineral water on stage these days unlike this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgap_CzceBM

More to it than that Doc, the accuracy is outstanding and the speed they can work out the check outs are mind boggling.

Going by Simon's post, so in theory Darts can have 2 world champions ?.

Blimey that shows how long it is since I watched. As soon as it appears I switch the TV over.

Thanks Simon, thats some achievement for a new pro.

Just saw the snippet of a report of Darts on the beep news, now i know what Rob Cross looks like.

I prefer to play than watch. Am better after a few pints but more than that and I go down hill. A shame there are less pubs with dart boards.
