Some nice checkouts from Anderson to quickly take that set.

 

[krisholio14]

Lewis with a 9 darter, 11 180's, and two double 1 checkouts. A bit of everything there

 

[krisholio14]

And Lewis goes 3-1 up

 

[krisholio14]

Anderson takes the 5th set after looking in all sorts of bother. Now 3-2...

 

[krisholio14]

Magnificent 164 checkout from Anderson to break the throw!

 

[YOTC]

164 finish? Not a problem says Anderson. LOVE IT.

 

[krisholio14]

And now Anderson levels at 3.

What a match!

 

[krisholio14]

19 180's for the match, Lewis takes the lead 4-3

 

[krisholio14]

Lewis has gone up a cog, takes the lead 6-3, and I can't see him losing it from here.

 

[krisholio14]

And as soon as I say that, Anderson wins the next two sets and it's now at 6-5.

 

[borgsta2006]

bloody great match! Lewis should hold on now at 2-0 in the 12th

 

[krisholio14]

And Lewis does it! 7-5, great game!

 

[borgsta2006]

Man I love this game! Well done to both Lewis and Anderson on their match because it was awesome to watch!

I'm a little disappointed, I wanted Anderson to win (Scottish heritage), but overall it as a worthy final, and the best player on the day, and probably of the tournament won.

It was an awesome world championship, one of, if not the most memorable I have ever seen.

Now for the season to start again, can't wait, and a big thanks to FoxSports for showing just about all of it live.

Awesome final

Can't wait for the Premier League to start now.

Phil Taylor looked very odd in a suit haha

 

[red+black]

Watched the replay at 5pm. Great final, content that the best two players made the final, the best player won, and that the final was not a dud.

Great 9-darter from Lewis. I think Anderson did well to get 5 sets.

 

[NSWCROW]

Adrian Lewis @ 20/1 hmmmmm.....

*Cough*
Will never forgive myself for not throwing coin down on him

 

[red+black]

The quality of the darts is a good advertisement for the game.

The commentary during this leg is not.

Finally watched the final tonight. How I kept away from the result was a miracle.

Brilliant final.

Not to be forgotten, but the BDO World Darts Championship is on right now as well.

#1 Martin Adams is playing #3 Dean Winstanley in the final.

I have recorded that final and will look at it over the next week few days. I know the result after accidentally reading the BBC sports. The Eurosports coverage was very poor. I missed the semis because I could not find them on the Fox Guide. Not saying that they were not there I just could not find them. The rumours are strong that the 2 organisation's are close to a compromise after many a long year. The PDC has taken the TV rating's in the UK with the stronger players and the BDO is being left in it's wake with only Adams a genuine superstar.

Interesting stats I came across.

PDC Prelim average: 84.57 (up 4 points on 2010)

Last 32 Averages

PDC: 92.23 (up 1)
BDO: 85.65 (up 1)

Last 16

PDC: 95.43 (even)
BDO: 84.4 (down 4)

Last 8

PDC: 96.87 (down 2)
BDO: 88.71 (down 1)

Last 4

PDC: 98.25 (up 1)
BDO: 88.16 (down 5)

Final

PDC: 99.41 (down 3)
BDO: 90.61 (down 4)

54 year-old Martin "Wolfie" Adams is again the BDO World Darts Champion.

He has made the semi finals the last 7 years, winning the event in 2007, 2010 and 2011, finishing runner-up in 2005 and losing at the semi-final stage in 2006, 2008 and 2009.

Except for 2006 when Barny lost the final, each of the last 7 years Adams has either won the event or been defeated by the player that went on to win the event. He seems resistant to join the PDC.

Mark Webster is out. Adrian Lewis should have joined him as a first round elimination. Lewis was down 0-2 to 3, then Heydon had 3 darts at D20 for a 2-0 lead in the 5th set, but Lewis fought back and won the 5th and deciding set 5-3.
