:02:31. > :02:59.
:02:59. > :03:03.struggling. Two loose bowls. Karen's got the advantage. She's

:04:19. > :04:29.pass pass the red. Will she run?
:04:29. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:35.not easy for Debbie either. She has to try and draw around it.
:04:35. > :04:39.Well, she's on the left-hand side of the mat to try and help the bowl
:04:39. > :04:44.come around,tle bit of extra bend. It's all about pace now,
:04:44. > :04:49.cos the line looks pretty good to me. Doesn't want to be too heavy.
:04:49. > :04:59.Hmm. Well, that's a little bit far away

:05:38. > :05:47.good. Very good. Really good bowl, this one.
:05:47. > :05:52.conversion shot now, John. Just a drop. Yeah, she's not gonna play
:05:52. > :06:02.anything here, Debbie. I think she will try and draw this.
:06:02. > :06:36.
:06:36. > :06:40.shot away, I think. Well, fair enough. I can't blame her. She was
:06:40. > :06:45.trying to draw the shot, but just the one does it.
:06:45. > :06:49.APPLAUSE And Debbie Stavrou will play a one-
:06:49. > :06:59.shot lead into the last end of the second set, which is still very
:06:59. > :07:02.

:07:12. > :08:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:08:13. > :08:18.the last bowl today. That could be going to have to be a very good
:08:18. > :08:21.weight to get back. It's getting down,, though. A good swing on the
:08:21. > :08:31.ball. It will get right back at the end of its run.

:08:42. > :08:48.St the crowd taken to Karen Murphy last year and this
:08:48. > :08:58.This is better. It's a clear road now right to the jack. This is good.
:08:58. > :09:10.
:09:10. > :09:14.she closes it down, she's got a forehand. I think she could be a
:09:14. > :09:24.little bit too defensive and be tempted to come back in on that
:09:24. > :09:29.
:09:29. > :09:34.backhand. She hasn't been playing this forehand like suggested. Needs
:09:34. > :09:40.to hurry, though. Oh, dear, didn't long
:09:40. > :09:50.long way short. A bit of a nervy one. Karen's gonna have another
:09:50. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :09:59.little walk-up at this. Quite right way. That's not the line she came
:09:59. > :10:09.down. So if she plays exactly the draw
:10:09. > :10:37.
:10:37. > :10:42.draw another shot. Penny for your the red bowl. That's a target bowl
:10:42. > :10:48.for her, as it was for Debbie. Get this one in, it's gonna be tough to
:10:48. > :10:56.What's What's the pace like? She's chasing
:10:57. > :11:04.it. She likes it. She likes this. This is good. It's gotta stop
:11:04. > :11:10.thofplt yeah, -- it's gotta stop, though. Yeah, it's good. Must play
:11:10. > :11:20.it now. This is what Karen Murphy did against Rebecca Field. She
:11:20. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:36.she hold up enough? Get the one bowl then the other... She's got
:11:36. > :11:47.
:11:47. > :11:53.two. OFFICIAL: One red. But it's one red,
:11:53. > :11:56.so Karen Murphy has to draw this, John, and touch the janversion fhat
:11:56. > :12:01.was a big conversion from Debbie Stavrou. Needed to be positive and
:12:01. > :12:08.she was, she got the result. was bang on target. In what can
:12:08. > :12:12.only be described as a very difficult shot to play.
:12:12. > :12:16.The crowd were certainly in there, in terms of the excitement and
:12:16. > :12:23.tension there at the moment. You get matches that are going down to
:12:23. > :12:33.the last bowl. Karen has got to draw this and move the jack - not
:12:33. > :12:36.
:12:36. > :12:42.easy. No. But at least it's a Interesting line. She gets back to
:12:42. > :12:45.the jack. Very close to this. In line. Oh, she's got it. A brilliant
:12:45. > :12:48.bowl by Karen Murphy. What a bowl. APPLAUSE
:12:48. > :12:52.Big shot to get out of so much trouble. Jusee
:12:52. > :12:59.trouble. Just moved the jack three or four inches, but that's enough.
:12:59. > :13:04.She lies two to take tll, a bit set. And this isn't easy, with the
:13:04. > :13:08.pressure, John, is it? What a bowl this was. This was a really high
:13:08. > :13:18.degree of difficulty to draw the jack like that. She's made the
:13:18. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:28.win the match. Exactly. To win the match is the important bit. Good-
:13:28. > :13:36.looking line. Look at this. It looks messy, to me. Just over it.
:13:36. > :13:45.Beautiful line, but through it. And Karen Murphy, the double... I would
:13:45. > :13:49.have to say to scratchto scratchack into this match is almost
:13:49. > :13:54.remarkable. OFFICIAL: Karen has won the toss.
:13:54. > :13:57.So what about that, David? Momentum now with the Australian? Oh, very
:13:57. > :14:04.much so. Because Debbie would have thought she had done enough to
:14:04. > :14:10.close it out. But typical Karen, no a couple of times already in this
:14:10. > :14:16.event this year, playing the big bowls at the death to turn games
:14:16. > :14:20.around. Can't argue with the endshe she played. It was a good end.
:14:20. > :14:25.But that touch of the so hard to play, John. You know, you
:14:25. > :14:30.just draw to it and you hope you get a little nudge. It rarely
:14:30. > :14:34.happens when you need it. That's the point - when you need it, it
:14:34. > :14:41.doesn't happen. That was a brilliant bowl.
:14:42. > :14:46.minds. minds. Absolutely. It doesn't
:14:46. > :14:54.matter if you were the more consist player throughout the match, which
:14:54. > :15:00.player throughout the match, which Debbie has been. If you win by one
:15:00. > :15:10.shot or ten, it doesn't matter. She's such a battler, Karen Murphy.
:15:10. > :15:13.
:15:13. > :15:23.Her whole life revolves around the APPLAUSE
:15:23. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:43.that shot she played three ends ago.
:15:43. > :15:53.OFe green. Virtually a match lie against her even then,
:15:53. > :16:17.
:16:17. > :16:22.and she managed to get the jack for She survived the last three or four
:16:22. > :16:32.ends. And forced this match all the way through. And who's going to bet
:16:32. > :16:38.
:16:38. > :16:47.watching this game. And if they are watching at her home club of
:16:47. > :16:51.Cabramatta, we say hello to you from a very cold Norfolk. Glad
:16:51. > :17:01.you're enjoying betterhan we are. Good effort. The tie break,
:17:01. > :17:10.
:17:10. > :17:20.of course, winning the few cold ones pushed down, I would
:17:20. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:33.say, in Sydney tonight. Well, it is leave Debbie Stavrou a catch, so
:17:33. > :17:38.it's out onthand line. A high line to cover the spot
:17:38. > :17:45.position, get behind the jack. That's appreciated by the crowd.
:17:45. > :17:51.It's been a cover bowl. I here. Will she play for the bowl,
:17:51. > :17:54.John? I don't know. It's not a big target, Dave, really. She was very
:17:54. > :17:58.close with the last bowl to the weight. It is possible to draw it.
:17:58. > :18:02.But if you get to the green bowl, fall off, it's - you know, it hato
:18:02. > :18:12.to be absolutely perfect. To get that green away, she's gonna have
:18:12. > :18:16.
:18:16. > :18:22.to cut it out, really. To get in background.
:18:22. > :18:28.side, but I don't think she will play that. She's sticking with the
:18:28. > :18:32.now she's gonna draw this, you have to draw in line. Oh, she's laid
:18:33. > :18:37.into this a bit, Dave. I think she's over weight. Caner.
:18:37. > :18:43.Sh to make sure she's there. It was never gonna get back
:18:43. > :18:46.Karen Karen Murphy takes the lead.
:18:46. > :18:56.OFFICIAL: First-time end, Karen Murphy.
:18:56. > :19:13.
:19:13. > :19:17.18 ends. And nine ends each, which is a bit of a surprise
:19:17. > :19:26.statistically, John. Yeah, I think early scores in this match, because
:19:26. > :19:30.Karen was scoring but not scoring one.
:19:30. > :19:40.one. I wonder if Debbie realises 23m, 25m, though, she's a third
:19:40. > :20:11.
:20:11. > :20:15.From a time when she was struggling with her first bowl for large
:20:15. > :20:23.periodness this match, to a tie break, where she's found her first
:20:23. > :20:28.two bowls she has played were the opening deliveries. So vital. She
:20:28. > :20:34.knows that. She will be well pleased now. Debbie needs to
:20:34. > :20:40.regroup. It's amazing. Five or six minutes ago she was standing on the
:20:40. > :20:45.easily easily take this championship. It's
:20:45. > :20:50.really down to her ability to come up with the right bowl at the right
:20:50. > :20:55.time. For a large period, Debbie Stavrou has been the more
:20:56. > :21:00.consistent player. But that's what Karen Murphy, being second is not
:21:01. > :21:04.an option. Must be in the blood. When they are
:21:04. > :21:07.born, the Australians, they don't like coming
:21:07. > :21:17.very very competitive. I must admit, I
:21:17. > :21:36.
:21:36. > :21:41.like that. That's not a bat bowl by must be here. Oh. A good effort.
:21:41. > :21:46.Still trying to draw her way out of trouble, John. And every time she's
:21:46. > :21:50.plPearce, she's played it very well. I kind of think this is
:21:50. > :21:54.definitely worth reaching. Well, two decent bowls down on the side
:21:54. > :21:58.now. And Karen's gonna play backhand and try and get into that
:21:58. > :22:03.area. coming
:22:04. > :22:13.coming in on. Looking to nestle in somewhere around those reds. That's
:22:14. > :22:16.
:22:16. > :22:26.a pretty good bowl. A good one. is, if you win the championship, a
:22:26. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:39.Make-your-mind-up time for Debbie. I would definitely run into it.
:22:39. > :22:43.Yeah, a weight, it is. Looks under, unless she gets a bit of help.
:22:44. > :22:51.Didn't miss it very much. Very nearly cleared from the inside edge.
:22:51. > :22:58.Certainly held on, didn't it? Very nearly got a cap on it. Karen
:22:58. > :23:06.cannot believe this. Half an hour ago, she looked down and out, the
:23:06. > :23:16.inconsistent. And now, suddenly, she's two bowls away from winning
:23:16. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :23:32.spots are covered. Well, she's Can't
:23:32. > :23:35.Can't blame her. Stay away from it, much
:23:35. > :23:40.much with that. That's right. I think the weight of lay at the
:23:40. > :23:45.moment, if she goes again, Debbie ne the green away clean.
:23:45. > :23:52.That or bump the jack up the rink. The way it's sitting, that's very
:23:52. > :24:02.I I suppose - hit the target and hope
:24:02. > :24:11.
:24:11. > :24:19.are -- The Aussies don't want to look. They are nervous. This is a
:24:19. > :24:23.very hard shot to play. The last bowl... Running again. The line is
:24:23. > :24:28.slightly wider. She gets down, she gets the edge of the green. Too
:24:28. > :24:31.wide. Not getting back. It's gonna be a single for Karen Murphy.
:24:31. > :24:36.APPLAUSE And the Aussie, who was runner-up
:24:36. > :24:43.last year, has come back from the dead in this match. Lost the first
:24:43. > :24:51.set. And it's 6-2 in the second set. And scraping over the line with a
:24:51. > :24:56.tremendous bowl to win that one 7-6. And make the tie break, 2-0. My
:24:56. > :24:59.goodness me. What a great result for Karen Murphy. She's up with the
:24:59. > :25:03.Aussie supporters, just to say thank you. Wonderful stuff. Did
:25:03. > :25:11.really well in the tie break. APPLAUSE
:25:11. > :25:18.It's Karen Murphy who takes the 2012 Olsen ladies championship. All
:25:18. > :25:21.the title. When it comes to battling and getting a win out of
:25:21. > :25:25.nothing, Karen Murphy really is as nothing, Karen Murphy really is as
:25:25. > :25:28.good as anyone. You have gone one better than last year. How does
:25:28. > :25:33.that feel? It's fantastic on Australia Day. Look, I really felt
:25:33. > :25:37.like I was under the pump all game. I really felt like I stole it, in a
:25:37. > :25:42.way. You know, missed that shot down there to touch the jack for
:25:42. > :25:47.two to win the set and it's all over. So, you know, we had some
:25:48. > :25:51.good ones and scrubby ones at times, but I guess it's when you play them.
:25:51. > :25:56.against against Rebecca, you found the big
:25:56. > :26:00.bowls and you did agaieah, I did. I felt I played better toin
:26:00. > :26:05.in the final. Obviously I had to, because Debbie's a class opponent.
:26:05. > :26:10.I feel like I have stolen it a bit. To be fair, Debbie probably played
:26:10. > :26:16.better than I did in the game. That's set play, isn't it? You have
:26:16. > :26:23.support here. How does it feel to do it in front of them? I have Kay
:26:23. > :26:27.and Ian. Just gotta go home and fly home now. To my sponsors, thanks
:26:27. > :26:36.very much. Tomorrow we head home. I have got fond memories of this
:26:36. > :26:40.Ladies and gentlemen, the 2012 women's champion - Karen Murphy!
:26:40. > :26:43.Now to action from the men's singles. And at the start of the
:26:43. > :26:47.day, this is how the draw for the day, this is how the draw for the
:26:47. > :26:54.quarterfinal was shaping up. Already through - John Price, David
:26:54. > :26:58.Gourlay, Robert Weale, Andy Thomson and Nicky Brett. First up, it's
:26:58. > :27:05.Wayne Hogg against Stewart Anderson. Anderson came back in the second
:27:05. > :27:13.and forced a tie break. We join it in the second. David Corkill and
:27:13. > :27:19.Andy Thompson are your commentators. He was 4-0 down in the second set.
:27:19. > :27:23.Wayne looked to be in control. And then Stuart took over. The next set,
:27:23. > :27:29.Andy managed to secure 3-3, so that was more than enough to get him
:27:29. > :27:34.over the line. Not actually sure who won the toss? Wayne did, and
:27:34. > :27:44.he's given the jack away to Stuart. He had the last bowl.
:27:44. > :28:03.
:28:03. > :28:12.Right. Most players do tend to want Now, Wayne, unting for a
:28:12. > :28:17.line in that backhand. Let it drift I think in a tie, it would have
:28:17. > :28:24.been good to stick for a forehand. His favourite is backhand in both
:28:24. > :28:34.directions, so he's sticking for He needs to try to hide the jack
:28:34. > :28:49.
:28:49. > :28:55.here. It still looks very tempting, This is good. This looks a better
:28:55. > :29:02.road from Wayne. It has to be very good to get back. I think he is
:29:02. > :29:06.good. Oh! Has he got drop? Oh, yes, OFFICIAL: One red. One red. He's
:29:06. > :29:16.drawn the shot. I think both players have to come
:29:16. > :29:16.
:29:16. > :29:21.up and have a look at this. Definitely. Well played, Wayne. Two
:29:21. > :29:31.good opening bowls from Stuart. But I think he's gonna be forced to
:29:31. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:43.play with opening weight now. Even a chance for the n
:29:43. > :29:55.
:29:55. > :30:01.a good shot, any green bowl, ought close. Well played. Oh, he's
:30:01. > :30:09.unlucky. Moved the jack. He's unlicky to have moved it out just
:30:09. > :30:19.as much as that. He wanted solid ball contact. Well, Wayne Hogg, two
:30:19. > :30:25.
:30:25. > :30:35.it's just how close. Very close. That's a good bowl.
:30:35. > :30:40.
:30:40. > :30:47.this jack is way over the rink. Can he play the backhand side? And can
:30:47. > :30:52.he play the side nearest the ditch? Short jack line, so it should be
:30:52. > :30:56.possible if he uses the mament. But there's also a very good -- the mat.
:30:56. > :31:01.But there's also a very good shot coming across the head. He's always
:31:01. > :31:05.coming in to the bowl and the jack. More importantly, taking the jack
:31:05. > :31:11.away from the red. I think he's gonna have to go across the head,
:31:11. > :31:16.as you say, David. Yep, that's where he's playing it. He certainly
:31:16. > :31:21.won't have practised this, so it's a new line. This is never easy to
:31:21. > :31:28.judge. Well, he certainly pushed it out
:31:28. > :31:34.wide. It will die quickly now. It needs to get back. It's struggling.
:31:34. > :31:44.It's a new line. He will never have played that e.
:31:44. > :32:06.
:32:06. > :32:14.OFFICIAL: First end to Wayne Hogg. given it to Wayne Hogg. He wants
:32:14. > :32:24.the last bow Need an expert to tell how long
:32:24. > :32:36.
:32:36. > :32:40.this jack will be. really has. Full of quality bowls.
:32:40. > :32:50.Not too many weight shots played, but good conversions, when they
:32:50. > :33:21.
:33:21. > :33:24.just found his length better. Just needs one great bowl from
:33:24. > :33:30.Wayne Hogg. Stewart's in trouble. Is this the bowl coming in? Needs
:33:30. > :33:40.to run. Oh. What a try.
:33:40. > :34:03.
:34:03. > :34:09.Still green. Attacking through the backhand or
:34:10. > :34:16.draw on the fore? It's backhand. It's got to his side. He
:34:16. > :34:23.should be playing just over the weight, Andy, to give himself a
:34:23. > :34:29.chance. That's the hard shot on that piece. Four feet away -
:34:29. > :34:34.Bowls won't come back. Well, this really should be a deep
:34:34. > :34:44.bowl coming up from Stewart now. He likes the single shot that he needs.
:34:44. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:59.He knows it's a difficult shot for red bowls. That's got to be
:34:59. > :35:26.
:35:26. > :35:32.But I don't think he should be playing this with four feet of
:35:32. > :35:37.weight, David. I think that's the hard shot. I think it's gotta be
:35:37. > :35:47.firmer or draw. Four feet away, difficult shot just for the bowl to
:35:47. > :35:55.
:35:55. > :35:59.is so difficult. That was a wrong choice of shot. Wrong choice.
:35:59. > :36:09.have been better just playing through it.
:36:09. > :36:19.
:36:19. > :36:22.He played the shot wrong. play the pace shot. Better
:36:22. > :36:32.sometimes to claim what is the easier shot, hoping to get a really
:36:32. > :37:07.
:37:07. > :37:17.heone go. He has got a big, biased bowl. It will go back a
:37:17. > :37:29.
:37:29. > :37:39.long way, probably better than what very tight game and that's exactly
:37:39. > :37:40.
:37:40. > :37:50.how it's turned out. Quality closely matc, a qualifier.
:37:50. > :37:50.
:37:50. > :38:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds
:38:31. > :38:36.Stewart Anderson, number 12 in the really, I think he should have been
:38:36. > :38:40.in with that one. Yes. That would have closed the head down. Still
:38:40. > :38:45.left it open for Stewart. I think Stewart needs to get it with this
:38:45. > :38:50.bowl of the you don't want to leave it to the last on this final end of
:38:50. > :38:54.the tie break. Looking from the commentary box here, he's on a good
:38:54. > :38:59.road. Does he have the running? He Heose with this. There it
:38:59. > :39:04.is. That's the number one. That's the one that Wayne Hogg really
:39:04. > :39:07.wanted to play with the second delivery. He left the door open and
:39:07. > :39:17.Stewart Anderson just walks through it. Wayne coming up to have a look
:39:17. > :39:21.
:39:21. > :39:27.at this head. I don't think he's door was open. Stewart Anderson
:39:27. > :39:33.draws the perfect bowl. Even more difficult for Wayne
:39:33. > :39:38.just stands off a little bit. This is gonna have to be very accurate.
:39:38. > :39:42.It's a diffihere. Well, got
:39:43. > :39:48.got a lot of weight. I tell you red
:39:48. > :39:53.red bowl, he's got this. Oh, he's close. Oh, what a bowl! Oh! Under,
:39:53. > :40:03.all the way. But because of the extra width, the bowl passes.
:40:03. > :40:04.
:40:04. > :40:07.a wonderful bowl from Wayne Hogg. one of the best bowls of the
:40:07. > :40:12.championship. Without a doubt. He just had to ed bowl,
:40:12. > :40:20.What What a bowl, Wayne Hogg.
:40:20. > :40:26.the perfect line. Which, to be honest with you, from the
:40:26. > :40:30.commentary box, we can see right down that backhand and it did look
:40:30. > :40:35.narrow. I didn't realise he had extra weight on it. It's the weight
:40:35. > :40:45.that held him up. This is difficult. What's he gonna do her he
:40:45. > :40:53.
:40:53. > :40:59.are almost too difficult. I think from there, he's got a chance. He's
:40:59. > :41:04.very close to this. Oh! Not quite. APPLAUSE
:41:04. > :41:08.Well, Stewart Anderson so close feels
:41:08. > :41:16.feels Wayne Hogg, with a fantastic third delivery on the last end of
:41:16. > :41:20.the tie break. Well, the wife is so through
:41:20. > :41:28.through to the quarterfinals of the World approval Singles. That wasfantastic
:41:28. > :41:34.Under the pressure, the very high-quality player. My
:41:34. > :41:36.goodness me, that was a bowl out of goodness me, that was a bowl out of
:41:36. > :41:40.the top drawer. Wayne Hogg through to the
:41:40. > :41:44.quarterfinals. He will play Mark Royal or Jason Greenslade next.
:41:44. > :41:49.Jason won the first set, Mark took the second. And so this went to a
:41:49. > :41:56.tie break. Again, they shared the first two ends. Here's the final
:41:56. > :42:06.end of the tie break. It's John Price in the commentar
:42:06. > :42:35.
:42:35. > :42:41.Silly he had a go. He was chasing be that close either. A bit scrappy
:42:41. > :42:48.to start. Nerves out there now. Cathem.
:42:48. > :42:55.just need now to get one good bowl to put Mark under pressure. Mark
:42:55. > :43:03.will be thinking the same. It's got overcorrec
:43:03. > :43:13.overcorrected? Well, he has. Pushed it too far. Dear me. Mmm. Well, no
:43:13. > :43:21.
:43:22. > :43:29.waonna win the end. Mark Royal. Oh. Well, even if he
:43:29. > :43:32.gets past the front one, it should hook across. A touch on to it.
:43:32. > :43:35.APPLAUSE That's the difference. Without that
:43:35. > :43:45.touch, I think that boave been almost two feet away.
:43:45. > :43:57.
:43:57. > :44:02.OFFICIAL: One green. One green. backhand.
:44:02. > :44:06.Hehn. Yeah,e bit surprised at that, John. Yeah, he's looking on the
:44:06. > :44:10.inside line. If he's got good weight, it might run on. It's gotta
:44:10. > :44:15.run, though. Don't think it's reaching, don't think he's pushed
:44:15. > :44:19.it. Oh, dear, Jason. One green. That's the one you wanted to get it
:44:19. > :44:25.with, the third bowl. Didn't fancy that, the line he was on. A slower
:44:25. > :44:32.line on the inside. Mark Royal still needs a closer
:44:32. > :44:37.bowl. Well, that is certainly a better,
:44:37. > :44:45.better, by the looks of it. Much, much better. Homing in on the jack
:44:45. > :44:52.far. far. Oh, he has. Oh. Well. Now,
:44:52. > :45:01.Jase, what do you do? Do you play the bowl out or draw the shot?
:45:01. > :45:07.he plays the shot, there's a lot of last bowl, match for a place in the
:45:07. > :45:12.quarterfinal. Jason needs to find a couple of
:45:12. > :45:22.feet on his last delivery. Pressure bowl.
:45:22. > :45:29.
:45:29. > :45:36.Well, this is what it's all about. It's just a matter of getting a
:45:36. > :45:37.Gently, gently. Doesn't want to run too far. Oh, that's a brilliant
:45:37. > :45:47.bowl by Jason Greenslade. APPLAUSE
:45:47. > :45:51.
:45:51. > :45:55.th tell you what, he was really - he's walked back up to the
:45:56. > :46:02.mat and pufft and puff cheeks. think at one stage he wasn't sure,
:46:02. > :46:06.John, that's why. But the world number four, Mark Royal, has one
:46:06. > :46:16.He He will certainly be reaching with
:46:16. > :46:19.
:46:19. > :46:23.get get back from that height. If he's
:46:23. > :46:27.overplayed it, there's no way thall get back. And Jason know -- no way
:46:27. > :46:34.that will get back. And Jason knows. Overplaying it. And Jason
:46:34. > :46:39.Greenslade, the Welshman, takes this match. Lost the second set 11-
:46:39. > :46:42.5. Wins the tie break 2-1. He takes the match two sets to one. Another
:46:42. > :46:47.Welshman through to the quarterfinal. So, just one more
:46:47. > :46:53.spot in the quarterfinal to be filled. And that will go to either
:46:53. > :47:03.Darren Burnett, who got to the last eight here last year, or the recent
:47:03. > :47:26.
:47:26. > :47:36.Burnett. Darren took the first set nine shots to seven. Lost the
:47:36. > :47:56.
:47:56. > :48:01.second set 13-0. A rem3-0. A remore, policeman.
:48:01. > :48:06.A very experienced competitor, Darren, on many national and
:48:06. > :48:16.British titles over the years. That's a great bowl. Three great
:48:16. > :48:41.
:48:41. > :48:46.bowls, Dave. Good stuff in this between these two players. The
:48:46. > :48:56.in in front, picked up a four to go
:48:56. > :49:06.nine in front, then promptly lost a but...it's been a long time since
:49:06. > :49:16.
:49:16. > :49:20.scoring is just too long. Yeah, you get on a run and you can't get a
:49:20. > :49:30.shot and it's a pressure situation. He's running for cover with this.
:49:30. > :49:37.that's good. Just approached the spot. That's excellent. Obviously
:49:37. > :49:43.thinking that - and probably rightly thinton is going
:49:43. > :49:50.to play with pace. But it's a hard shot to draw.
:49:50. > :49:55.Well, it's on a good line. Will it run?
:49:55. > :49:59.It's underweight. I am surprised he played it that way. I thought he
:49:59. > :50:03.would be pushing at that. He's normally very aggressive. Unless
:50:03. > :50:13.there's something we don't know in terms of Darren Burnett. It looks
:50:13. > :50:24.
:50:24. > :50:34.one to red here, because it's most position
:50:34. > :50:39.position bowl if they are not lying the shot. Well, Darren is having a
:50:39. > :50:49.good look at He is holding shot. He doesn't want to
:50:49. > :51:23.
:51:23. > :51:33.Must be trying to just drop arouthe Well, there's nothing
:51:33. > :51:38.John, is it? Definitely one to red, but that's been confirmed. Unless
:51:38. > :51:48.Robert draws the shot, I can't see a weight shot that would really
:51:48. > :51:55.
:51:55. > :52:02.benefit him. Well, foot into the red bowl on the green, to take the
:52:02. > :52:12.red out. Probably means a short boome into play.
:52:12. > :52:29.
:52:29. > :52:39.Indeed, he is. Didn't get a good, OFFICIAL: End to Darren Burnett.
:52:39. > :52:57.
:52:57. > :53:02.Hoped for a good result. First British
:53:02. > :53:07.British Isles Indoor Singles as a
:53:07. > :53:11.a little bit. Don't know if you're aware of that. He's had a bit of
:53:11. > :53:16.tooth trouble. Yeah, I heard he was at the dentist, getting some work
:53:16. > :53:20.done. It's always dangerous, in terms of plaiation, because the
:53:20. > :53:30.medication you're on, -- playing, because the a little you're on
:53:30. > :53:41.
:53:42. > :53:51.can make you a little bit unsteady. the man of the moment, a man who's
:53:52. > :53:53.
:53:53. > :54:03.playing withconfidence Hierth in November.
:54:03. > :54:04.
:54:04. > :54:14.that. Yeah, that doesn't help him. He's
:54:14. > :54:30.
:54:30. > :54:34.He's not even passed the jack. That would have gI wouldn't be
:54:34. > :54:41.surprised if Robert starts thinking about attacking this. I think he
:54:41. > :54:45.left it a bowl too late to attack the last end. This looks like it's
:54:45. > :54:51.struggling. He doesn't want to finish in the middle of the rink.
:54:51. > :54:57.Mmm. Well, the bowl can be flicked off, John. Awes know, Robert Paxton
:54:57. > :55:01.is a very strong driver. But you still feel that Darren needs a
:55:01. > :55:07.good good position, because Rob Paxton
:55:07. > :55:13.hasn't got anything pak, Dave. Not too many options. This is
:55:13. > :55:23.right around the back of that one. Back into the centre ring. Not
:55:23. > :55:37.
:55:37. > :55:43.Give himself some sort of a chance Hedent player, but he's
:55:43. > :55:46.struggling. Well, this is a strange end from Robert Paxton.
:55:46. > :55:51.Unbelievable. He hasn't reached with any of those bowls. He's one
:55:51. > :55:59.down in front of the jack. He's
:55:59. > :56:09.He's got nothing on that. No back position. Hmm. He's shaking his
:56:09. > :56:45.
:56:45. > :56:49.can get the shot is either cut that bowl right up without moving the
:56:49. > :56:53.jack... Well, I'm with you on that, John. You know, he's gonna have to
:56:53. > :56:57.try and angle it. It doesn't matter which way he plays it, it's just a
:56:57. > :57:02.marehand or tting to the angle, forehand or backhand, but that's
:57:02. > :57:06.the edge he would need if he's playing it on the forehand. If
:57:06. > :57:11.If he's playing it on the backhand, well, it's the same sort of idea.
:57:11. > :57:21.He has to get the thin edge, run away from it then, and leave his
:57:21. > :57:29.
:57:29. > :57:34.and get off the edge, but it doesn't look good.
:57:34. > :57:39.Well, Well, Darren Burnett takes it on
:57:39. > :57:44.the second end of the tie break, set
:57:44. > :57:52.set win of 13-0. The policeman will be delighted to go into the
:57:52. > :57:57.quarterfinals of the World Professional Singles.
:57:57. > :58:01.So that's the last 16s, done and dusted. The quarterfinals start
:58:01. > :58:11.tomorrow morning on the red button from 10am. First up, it's Andy
:58:11. > :58:14.
