With Coote on VAR, and Tierney on the whistle.
I assume you need some natural ability but must have to practice for hours. The skill to switch to treble 19 if you hit a bad first dart is amazing.
It's repetitive rhythm mate. Their throw/arm is like a metronome, set at the speed they naturally throw at so it's difficult to slow themselves down as that's how they practice for hours and hours every day.
Humphries is very likeable.
Ah, I don't mean the players, really! Of course they need to throw at that speed... but it seemed like almost no break between sets either, just a mad dash to the finish line. I think I'm comparing it to something miles slower like snooker, where you get time to digest what is happening, and the commentators get time to muse and mull and build the drama. Basically, I'm too old for darts.
@ Veinticinco de Mayo The way you talk to other users on this forum is something you should be ashamed of as someone who is suppose to be representing the site.
My dad and me were OK at darts and my brother was very good and played county level and he practised every hour he wasnt working. Now his son is very good so I think it can run in families.
I also find the techniques really interesting as so many different ones. The skill is incredible.
I hated playing slow players just couldnt find my natural rhythm but good players cope and still hit the treble the doubles are all in your head
These are highly toned athletes at the peak of their game. Pace, Power and Stamina, is the name of the game.
Jockey Wilson agreed
Well done Humphries, i thought when Littler was 4 2 up that was it. Littler didn't drop off but Humphries upped his game. My lad is made up as he had Humphries from the start in some fantasy darts thing.
I had a few quid on him at 5/1 before his odds starting lowering in the last month or so. Would have won a lot more had Littler taken out that D14 or D7 to force an extra set. Had 10/1 on Humphries winning 7-5 or 7-6 and there being more than 40 180s. I think there were 36 in the end so that extra set would have surely seen 5 more the way they were throwing.Premier League lineup is announced at 4pm today. Surely Littler has to be in it?

Anderson deserves a place more than Wright.
Is Darts now the 2nd most popular sport in the UK?Given last nights game was appointment viewing and the amount of media coverage?
