As someone who loves stats, I don't see how it didn't drag his average down from 97! His first 9 average must have been awesome. His first 9 was over 109 compared to only 100 for Smith.

Number 16 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Stick my neck out here. A cool and calm Dimi to get the better of the occasionally underperforming MvG. Smith is often inconsistent, but rarely twice in row, so this could be curtains for Clemens. ... But my prediction of Dimi v Smith should guarantee a Dutch / German final!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my prediction of Dimi v Smith should guarantee a Dutch / German final!!!! I'm going the opposite to a point. I think MVG is unstoppable in this tournament, I predict he wins the final by multiple sets. Not only has he eased through this tournament, he has the highest average of any player this year by some way. He also has an amazing record against Dimi; I used to like him but he's become a bit full of himself especially after his Anthony Joshua moment yesterday. I was really impressed by Clemens last night, and not so impressed by Smith. Smith's game is built on how easy he can hit the 180s, but it just isn't happening this tournament so far. Clemens on the other hand, wasn't overawed by the occasion or put off by the shenanigans. They had record viewing-figures in Germany yesterday but he played his best game rather than bottling it, that is certainly a good quality to have. He also kept it up across the game; the one question mark was where he was having a bit of double trouble at crucial points. Smith would be able to punish him whereas Price wasn't able. I predict for tonight we'll see MVG win 6-2 and Smith 6-4. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

I suspect you're spot on and if I had an ounce of sense I'd have said the same myself, but I'm always heart over head, often to the point of idiocy. I agree about Dimi. When he first burst on the scene he was a breath of fresh air, but nowadays how he presents himself comes across as being contrived. MVG has been awesome this year and particularly at the Ally Pally, but he does have the occasional wobble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVG has been awesome this year and particularly at the Ally Pally, but he does have the occasional wobble! My thought about Dimi is usually about how long he can keep the dance going for. It's one of those things he can't just stop but then does he do it when he's 50, does he trial a new dance at some point? A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

Stunning. Dimi wasn't too shabby either, but he was absolutely outgunned. For tonight I'll stupidly go for heart over head and back Bullyboy. To win he needs the first set and probably the second, which could get the demons going in the Dutchman's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumby Magic Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 As some may know a big darts fan. Never missed a final since Barney Taylor. No sky sports so went into the local after seein four legs all championships, saw THE LEG. Managed to get a stream at home. I only Luke new winners if they were the best player of the comp. Smith beat him so fair play. My claim to fame is we were playing widhes, I asked for a pic, his young one needed the loo my phone played up and alas the future world championship winner went away Like poor jokes?
