Day 6 Darts: World Championships

Good afternoon. Welcome to Frimley Green where the practice boards are

already very busy. They are buzzing with Anastasia Dobromyslova and

Lorraine Farlam getting ready. Here we have Wesley Harms are throwing

already. He will be in a quarter- final action tonight. We also have

a random man in a shell-suit! The second round matches, we are

bringing you highlights of those this afternoon. The bald Eagle,

Christian Kist, had an explosive encounter with but the best. --

with a debt to those. With Geert de Vos. Dean Winstanley collided with

the nowhere man Alan Norris for a quarter-final berth. And the big

one, a two-time world champion Ted Hankey against Masters champion

Scott Waites. What a match that was. We begin with the Belgian Geert de

Vos against Christian Kist. Two newcomers who had the bodies week

at the moment. The scoring is so close between the two of them. Kist

is not comfortable with the 20 double top. He has to move. That is

better! Game, shot and the leg, as Christian Kist hit that double

Such a close match. The two are really feeling it here and he has

there. Both players want a double eyes. How are you on double one!

Game, shot and the leg, Geert de set. He has broken the throw here.

Christian Kist started out, exploded out of the blocks. Here in

the second round, you need to be more of a middle-distance runner

than a sprinter, Tony. I have seen some strange finishing tonight. I

would never have expected it. Variations they have been using.

Geert de Vos has gone a couple of times the wrong way. I think the

scoring is so similar that when they are getting down to a double,

there is no comfort. They are not even 80 points ahead. That is

mentally draining after a while. it is, Kist has taken this over at

the moment. Even so, he has the darts for it. He is going to need

all six possibly. This will give him great hope I think, if he can

hit the double top on the first Kist. The that is the evidence of

the mental strength you need. The first set, you hit those easily.

Kist is struggling a bit. Whatever happens after this leg, we are

going to get a break in the match. I think both players might need it.

It is two sets or here. Still anybody's game. On the wire, yes. A

bit loose, that one at the top. Geert de Vos who lost the first set

on his throw saw Christian Kist take it 3-0. He has pulled back.

Kist had to make it 2-2. It really has been an absolute epic so far.

big score, the 140, after the break. Geert de Vos's dad will be watching

this this evening. He was here for the first round win against Tony

West. He should have stayed on a be. You are right, David. He cannot

finish on 166. On 167, you can do. He has made amends with that but

Kist is more than capable. A chance fear of going into the lead. Single

it will come back as they start to motor through the darting the years

once the crocks start to click into place. That leaves plenty of room.

That was not far away from the corner. Very unlucky, back. Two140s,

But he is not as far ahead as he would like to be at the stage. Ton-

gives the Belgium the pole position Vos. That is a real determined look

on his face. Shouting to the Belgian fans at the back at the

been missing doubles in the early part of the week. These kids

haven't. They are loving it. Certainly not as many in the early

stages. There have been a few key missed doubles. I think it is the

lack of the big television major experience for the players at the

six darts. 156 is a good finish, for Geert de Vos. Kist has got to

hold but it is a leg with his throw so he showed but with a nice 140

against him, Geert de Vos steps up with a 145. He cannot finish. Kist

has to hold his throat. -- his throw. 13 dart finish. That is

exactly what he wanted. Apologies, to break the throat their,

boy. Another chance for an 11 dart Kist. It is all square. Double 12

net. -- in this set. Kist is starting to get on a bit of a roll

again. Alan Norris said to me that this boy from Holland is like the

Dutch version of date as know. -- Dave to is not. It is never quite

so straightforward but you know the potential is there from every dart.

I have seen enough to know that these two could certainly go far.

One of them will not be going any further than this point, admittedly.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 86 seconds

But they have got some talent. They 140 was good but it might not be

good enough. Geert de Vos cannot finish but if he leaves themselves

on 60... That would have applied the pressure. Kist might feel more

gone double tops. He is back in front! Game, shot and the set,

Christian Kist. He has rattled three off on the trot. The man from

Holland does not want to go Dutch in this game for long. He has taken

the set advantage. Talk about swings and roundabouts. Oh dear. It

is magic. And there we go again! 180! He has taken the lead. He

starts with 180. The 150 if of the tournament. It is his 6th of the

match. That has helped a lot, hasn't it? Geert de Vos has got

Kist is a head but he has got the big scoring from the start. He is

maintaining his overall average. Look how Geert de Vos has slipped

down, dipping below 90 for the test and he is coming off best so

far. He is starting to hit his doubles with more regularity. His

other half gets a reassuring hug first dart. He still managed to get

a 140. This time, he made himself two of them? That would have left

the bull. To hold his throw, Geert de Vos. He might go bull. With two

darts in your hand, that is OK. Three in the hand of Kist. He can

have a feeling she might have a smile on her face in a moment. Kist

composes himself and he hits the double. And she gives him all the

encouragement he needs. As he goes within a leg of the quarter-finals

now. With an opportunity, he has the throne. He wants the leg. And

he has hit a maximum to do it! Is it all over? The sort of 180

that Eric Bristow would be proud of. He used to bully people about and

that absolutely, brutal at the anywhere near. He is blocking the

bed. Shaking his head there as well, the match, Christian Kist. -- ton-

just dropped a little but de Vos still on 263. Kist missed again but

after a great leg of darts from him. performance again. And he is into

the quarter-finals! At his Lakeside debut, Christian Kist for Holland

can embrace his opponent for the second match running but he is

through to the last eight. How dangerous is he this year? Every

player will have seen that. They player will have seen that. They

know what Kist can do. COLIN MURRAY: I think that message

from Crofty. What impressed to most? He was very consistent. All

the games he has played, he has been the same. But de Vos played

very well as well. The overseas players have played better than our

boys in my opinion. They wouldn't know what people are shouting.

can tell by the time, Bobby! He has got that advantage. It is OK to

come out in your debut but to do exactly the same in a long Format

mean people are taking him seriously. 24 tonne forties which

is superb. I caught a little chat with them and the way that he kept

pace with de Vos. When de Vos kept pace with him, he get ahead. He

really felt the pressure from the Belgian but he feels good about his

game. He is a mighty danger now. were in the bar last night and you

cornered Christian Kist and had a full darts conversation through an

interpreter and even though he was Dutch, he more or less said, get me

away from this guy and let me enjoy a beer! The average was over 95 and

seven 180s, not to be sneezed at. Points in that match way you

thought he was missing his doubles, but he hit one on average when he

had three in his hand. 38% in that sort of format. The fact is he has

bought himself a lot of opportunities to miss. And what you

were saying about de Vos, 30% is not to be sniffed at. He is really

dangerous. You have got to be in the High a 90s to be in this

tournament. Can I repeat what I said on Saturday? He could go on

all the way and win it? It I said it on air, Bobby, who said it

first? You did. Thank you. So at Lakeside debutantes. We know what

happens, they meet Wolfie Adams. These are the debutants. Eric

Bristow did not like a new person, did he? Leighton Rhys won it and

then that was against John Lote. -- One of them slept on my for one

year. I charged him though! The next year, he beat Eric in the

final so I slept on his floor! don't think you'd slept in 1994.

You had a broken back in 1994? The Dutch player, qualified like

Kist. Seven-match darts against him in the first round against Dennis

how band went on to win it. I honestly think Kist could replicate

that six years on. Nobody was macro to face him in the quarter-finals

but it will either be Dean Winstanley or Alan Norris. The

first is the third seed here and reached the final here on his debut.

On the other one, Alan, Chuck Norris, he has travelled the world

but not made it to the quarter- finals.

Is a dream to play. It is my 4th year now and last year I went to

the second round. Then I lost in the second round. I am back in the

second round again so I need to go one further.

First round match, I was pleased with the way I dealt with Benito's

comeback. The way I kept my game together. The heavy scoring was

A couple of times, I let legs get away from me. I need to polish up

on my finishing. Good preparation for the next match, yeah. Game, set

and the match, Alan Norris. I can let of a bit of steam. At the end

of the match, I was very, very happy.

Dean, we have had a few scraps through the finals. Czech Open this

year. 6-5 in the final and missed I was called Chuck at school but

then I started playing on the circuit five years ago now and the

likes of Robbie Green, saying Chuck, I was thinking, "oh, God, it is

back". I think other people enjoy it more than me but you have to

play on it. COLIN MURRAY: Chuck is up against

it. Winstanley against him and we pick it up at the beginning of the

the best of order. Norris laughing with Dean Winstanley as they came

back out after the break. But the scoreline, no laughing matter for

him. What a pivotal final leg of reach the quarter-finals, Norris

might be down to a finish first. Dean Winstanley leaving himself 160,

so many chances to get that so far this week. He has hit it wants.

Bull's eye to do it. What a big doubt this is. And what a small

target that is. And what an excellent execution that was.

to throw first, game on. He has not finished yet, Alan Norris. A 130 to

back in the red bin. Alan Norris, no way near him. In the play ofs'

minds, you can sometimes feel that the leg has gone away from the

straight away but it has not. A 183 as in straight back into this leg.

-- a 180 throws him straight back came to the board with 500 on the

scoreboard he had a one and two bounce outs. I remember it well. It

brought the house down, that single equation but on this occasion,

Norris not up to the task. Still a bit of pressure on Winstanley here.

Single 20 lives in poolside. He has down 288. Dean, you require 10.

This is to level the 5th set at one like a piece. The double has been

good to him but not white now. One, Game shot and the second leg, Alan

Norris. It is a break and throw moment. Alan to throw first, game

on. Alan Norris to won the set after the first break is odds on

now to win the set after the second scoring. 180! His 6th 180 of the

match. Alan Norris has raised his game by about five points answer is

that much closer. Still more that has to happen. If you're

called Alan Norris and you throw darts, it is just shock. -- shock.

Over The Top is a bit more break has got exactly the same way

as the third said that came after the first Brit -- gone exactly.

Winstanley brings the next leg back repeating, or can Alan Norris...

Wrap up this set and break the single one of those darts. Your

notes are a sight to see! Here's the 180. Just go for it, Winstanley.

He goes to the board having 196, he hits 120 and then just checks. But

Highest possible check out. A good Winstanley would give him an

excellent opportunity. You don't want to be coming back under a lot

Winstanley had somebody calling out again. Why he delayed throwing his

final die-hard. A lot of it is people trying to cheer the players

conversation but if they are just about to release the dart and they

hear a sudden cry or something, especially their name, it does put

them off. He is saying, stop it, the moment and they are seeing the

comeback go on and on. It is looking different, it was looking

so easy for Winstanley. He might keep this set alight with double

10s... He has done it! Alan Norris. Matt cheers but Norris is providing

all the gloss here. He is just composing himself and putting

himself up for another break no, we are going for another set. After

here. If it goes to five apiece, we go to sudden death. So little to

choose between the pair, it would not surprise me if we were in for a

late one. If he gets to two apiece, and a player has to win by a two

clear legs until 5-5 and then it is by Winstanley. 93.6, a good overall

average but Norris has improved by about 9 points in his average to

get that much closer and get back into the game yet still he needs to

improve, to take this on and be in the lead for the first time in the

match. For the first two said, Dean Winstanley through the doubts of

the championship, average of 100 and a check-up percentage of 75.

But since then it has been more Norris than Winstanley. And here we

are in the deciding set. Treble 19 He is starting to feel that life is

going against him. He has got a break here because Norris blocked

checkout percentage of 75 now has only 37%. Game shirt and the first

leg. Alan Norris is the person who has raised his game and that gives

him the lead for the first time in the match. Alan Norris has just won

You know what I love about Alan, darts players love an excuse when

they love -- when they lose a game. It has got nothing to do with the

other dart players. Alan has got a bad back and has not mentioned it

once. You are much troubled, started off in Somerset, ended up

in Spain, Sweden, Scotland. Now in Holland. We have seen the Dutch

players playing really well. You have been playing with a lot of

them. How much has it helped going to Holland? It is very relaxed over

there. Our panty is -- our county has a lot more darts. There are a

lot of competitions. I have had a lot more time to practise. Do you

feel match sharp for the first time ever at the Lakeside? Last year,

with Robbie Green two weeks before, we both ended up here midweek with

stinking colds. Everything is good this year. I feel great. He is not

using the cold as an excuse there?! Let us have a look at your final

darts. Tell me what was going through your head. At least have

finished on the double 12. Were you thinking about the quarter-final or

were you just thinking about the double? Just to get the double in.

We have played several times. D is a great sportsman. We always seem

to go all the way -- Dean is a great sportsman. They say the

statistics do not live. The average is touching 90. You hit 40 ton-plus.

You are getting better. That must bode well. They felt like a 23

average to be honest. I did not feel comfortable for some reason.

Beria's comments on Facebook today which are quite amusing. -- various

comments. It took you a while to get into the match. The darts

seemed to be going high all the time. In the first round, it was

right on the nail from the start. I was playing well in the back rooms.

I even stepped back about six inches and is still went in the

same place! What have you got to do?! Christian Kist next time. You

drove him here from Holland. might be swimming back! Kristin is

on great form and a lovely guy. His Dutch is a lot better than mine and

my English is a lot better than his. We get on well. We have played a

few times, four or five times. He is on great form. He does not care

about anything, he is just up there, he plays the board and he will give

you a good game any day of the week. It is going to be interesting.

you have reached the quarter-finals, he is that going to have to go

something to be too. I am not going to lie down on nobody. It is a

dream to get to the quarter-finals. Let's keep it going. I am looking

forward to it. Alan has a night off to rest his back. Three-time

champion going for three in a row, Martin Adams against the man who

everyone knows has the ability to win the title, Tony O'Shea. And the

debiting finite match between Paul Jennings and the Dutch and

attrition Wesley Harms who has short-circuited or in his way so

far at the Lakeside. He has been talking with Rob Walker. This guy

is super-cool. What a week you are having. A great start against

Martin Phillips on Sunday. Your performance against Robbie Green on

Tuesday was fantastic. I feel fine. This week worked out for me. We

will see what happens. I asked do this a couple of days ago, how you

were able to stay so calm and you said, I am going with the blow. As

the week progresses, you are still not getting any more nervous --

going with the flow. I have got nothing to lose. No worries. We

will see what happens. I was chatting to Bobby George and he

said that one of the things that impressed him so much about your

match on Tuesday was have focused you were. The first set, I wanted

to get it over. After that, I had the focus. I could not hear the

crowd, nothing at all. Your parents are here and your girlfriend. Have

they been getting nervous during your matches? I do not know. When I

go backstage, they come over, the first thing I said to my girlfriend,

Surrey, we have to be here a few more days. -- sorry, we have to be

here a few more days. I am living the dream. What about the match

against Paul Jennings. Do you believe you can take the fairy-tale

one step further and make the semi- finals? I do not want to go...

Every game is different. It is 50- 50. You do not know. If you missed

doubles, you lose. We will see what happens. When you qualified for

your first time at Lakeside, what were your expectations prior to

arriving about what you thought you might be able to achieve this week?

The first thing I thought was, just make it into the first round and

see what happens. Winning the second round is awesome. Maybe they

will see more of me but I do not know yet. I feel great today. It

would be an exciting match. Have you carried on with the tactic you

told me about where you have been going and sitting in the audience

and actually soaking up the audience from -- the atmosphere

from their perspective? Of course. 30 minutes before the game, I will

be in the back, throw some darts and get warm. Otherwise, I will

stay with the public. What will you do for the next couple of hours?

Will you go to your room and have a sleep? No, I am going to practise

for a while. We will see. Maybe go to the sauna, just relax. You look

as though you have got everything under control. It has been a great

week so far. The very best of luck. Thank you. I would not like to be

sitting behind him out there in the crowd. You cannot see over his

hair! We will have the high leads tonight at 12:20pm on BBC Two. We

have the semi-final live on a Saturday afternoon and the final

will be live on the BBC on Sunday. We thought we would get into the

mood ahead of tonight's quarter- final clash against Paul Jennings.

If you think this is bad, take a look at this. Shopping! --

shopping! It gives us something to laugh at, he tries his best in the

interviews, he is really enthusiastic. Paul Jennings has got

his work cut out. He has. Wesley Harms, he is the boy. He has done

superbly well but this is unknown territory. I know he is playing a

longer game... I cannot take you seriously at the moment! I'm trying

to be serious if. We will come back to it later. Let's go back to the

second round games. Scott Waites and Ted Hankey on the way shortly.

Firstly, Willy van de Wiel against Martin Atkins. After he finishes

his game Syrett the Lakeside, Atkins troubles do his mother-in-

law's house and spends the morning walking the dog. So far so good for

Atkins, three sets up as we join it the best of seven sets. There will

be a little worm at the back of Martin Atkins's mind which he will

be trying to banish, the memories of 2006 and the match against

Martin Adams. Once again, he led 3- 0 and lost eight dart -- lost a

tie-break, would we? Let them suffer! The Assassin on his flights.

Can he kill this off? That is the question. Two tons and two99s. The

get your confidence back. It is a mind game. You are think -- you

think you are cruising, like Martin would have done, 3-0 up. Suddenly,

they are coming back. That last throw, hit the treble 20, missed it,

and instead of muttering to himself, a little snarl and then he found

the treble 20 again. He has found it again and again! 180! After nine

darts, down to 122. He must be confident. He is a top counter and

he would have known if that had missed the treble 20 and hit the 20,

Yes! Martin Atkins! Say excited, so played, look at that. Big smiles.

But what a match, what a great performance from both of these

players. It is Martin Atkins that players. It is Martin Atkins that

is through. COLIN MURRAY: A lot of experts will

come out on top but Atkins showing a bit of leg. He is through to his

first ever quarter-final. Bobby, is that the biggest surprise at the

Lakeside so far? He has, at last year, really struggling. For a few

years. At the England Classic, he said he had two good points to get

on. But he got them and when he got them he was so happy. And I am

pleased for him because he has been bashed up a few times over the past

few years and now he is back. He can play top players and beat them.

And he has done, Crofty? Yes, he is a big result waiting to happen. A

few years ago, he was against Martin Adams and the second round,

he lost 4-3. He did not take his chance. He got to the semi-finals

of the Masters. Some players playing the Grand Slam but he took

chances well. He has beaten the players before. He has beaten by

only three times. -- beaten Barney. He wasn't a balmy basher yesterday?

Let's not talk about that. He goes to his mother in law's and walks

his dogs and is removed from the circus that is the Lakeside. Some

guys like that. I don't because I don't think I have been in the

tournament that way. Bobby has found a couple of mates, a good

county players outside Southampton, one is doing the marking, the other

is playing. He stays on the board and has got some good practice

partners. I don't think you should practise with the people you are

playing. When I see people practising with opponents, I think

they are stupid. You have got to go away and play against someone else

who you don't mind beating you. You don't want the person you are

playing beating you, keep away. winner of our final second-round

It would be nice to get up there. And take his head off, 4-0. But he

could have me of the same way. As easy. I think it will be quite

close. The crowd here is the best crowd bar none. They all come to

watch the darts and you get the utmost respect, it is brilliant.

Ted has always been seen as a bit more of a showman than the darts

player but his overall game of darts, he is a fantastic dart

player in his own right but he has got the whole package. Sometimes he

takes it a bit too far with his flowing cape and flying bats. I

some of the younger lads, they are thinking, oh, my God, they will be

much there. Scott Waites nearly 100, and Hankey's nearly 95. When they

get to the double, that is when they drive each other down and have

But is nice from Hankey. In the first said, he was following those

in. We have not had their 180 since the start of the third set. Start

of the second. We had seven in a set and a leg and we have not had

since. Here we go though, it is basically best-of-three for a place

in the quarter-finals at Lakeside. The problem may have had his at the

end of the leg is that they are then mentally transferring it into

the next leg. We are not getting the flare from the outset. It

slip down because it started like this. It is like someone has just

is back with 60. They need to step -- snap out of this. The opening

two legs are important, obviously. Is now becomes a little bit more

That will help! I bet you Hankey replies with a maximum of his own.

to look at it, Ted, it did not go Waites. The twists and turns, the

swings and roundabouts of this Lakeside stage continued. Hankey

has the darts. They bounce out at Count. Waites must break. The

double four kept him alive but he match, aren't we? Ted Hankey had

five darts for a place in the know what, 180 would turn this leg

around. He keeps up a little bit of pressure, Waites. He survives the

pressure! Game, shot and the match, Ted Hankey. One of his hardest

victories on a stage where he has twice become world champion, takes

Ted Hankey into the quarter-finals and Scott Waites, one of the

favourites for this year's tournament, is out. I have been

looking forward to this all day. Track killer has risen and after

Now you cannot kiss me! Ted, he was probably right to say on form and

on results but Scott was going to win. It is quite hard after that

game to judge it because it was a bizarre second round game.

Obviously Scott was going to be favourite. I always believe that no

matter who you play, it you are going to get matches. I took the

chances. I have put together a character study. A little case-

study, this is exhibit a of the two sides of Ted Hankey. This is from

the first set. The motivation goes down as you hit a fat 19. I am

screaming at the telly, you plonker. This is what Ted Hankey can do

without any effort whatsoever. Pressure situation, bang, bang,

that was you at your worse. He does that. The ones that you throw away,

he thought, he is not going to miss the game. Why waste your energy

trying for a treble 20 when he isn't going to have a pop at it?

That is wrong. You have got to put the pressure on. He does that.

will also leave an exhibition finish. Is that because you play so

many, you are more comfortable with that? You have got to hit the

trebles. You have got to hit two trebles and a double. Ted Hankey is

unique. Sort of, I suppose. I did motivate you, didn't I? There is my

invoice. As far as your game goes, you are your own biggest critic,

what are you looking at? You were untouchable in the last six or

seven legs. There was a dip in the middle. Is it to find the

consistency? When I got the five180s... That is why you need to

be. Then it died. I watched it a couple of times. Double top was too

lower. I have got to tighten up for tomorrow night. You will think

twice now, Bobby, before making outlandish statements about the

camp? No way. If I think he is going to lose, I will say. And I

have got this round Mike -- round my neck now! Friday the 13th

tomorrow. Cole my goodness, Ted Hankey, playing on Friday the 13th.

practising well, I am doing everything right. The form seems to

be getting their act the right time. He is no pushover, is he?! You know

you have got a game on your hands when you are playing him up. I have

said it before, the scoreline last time we played did not reflect the

game at all. Fantastic game of darts. He has got all the

experience in the world and I have picked up quite a bit since then.

That was only my 4th Lakeside, I think. Even now, I am still

learning. Maybe it is an omen, I don't know. I do not get into that

sort of thing. All of the superstitions and all that sort of

stuff... You make your own luck, really. He is going for a bigger

record there, three times on the trot. I am hoping that is going to

get to him a bit, thinking about it. I might even mention it before we

play! Friendship continues all the way until you are on stage. In all

honesty, all the way until the referee says first leg, game on.

any silly dancing in the box, put it that way. That is when you are

not friends any more. You just want to beat him. The friendship will be

there afterwards. There will be a lot of respect in the game as well.

Do not be surprised if you see handshakes in the middle. We have

great respect for each other. on the trot is a great achievement.

For him it would be brilliant. I just want one of them. I hope it is

a classic match but I also hope that I win it! There is a funny

smell around here at the moment. That is not good. 8 cloves of

garlic. He has gone continental! Remarkable. Quarter-final tonight.

It has been a week of upsets so far. Tony O'Shea beating Martin Adams I

think will be the biggest upset of the lot. Last eight meetings, or

one by Martin Adams. You have to go back to 2005 for the last time when

Tony O'Shea got one over on the top seed. If you look at it, it is

deliciously poised. On he -- on one side, Tony O'Shea is on form. He is

hitting the big scores. The other side of the coin is that no matter

what Martin Adams has done so far, he is the man for the longer set

format. He did the same last year, if you remember. Started slow. The

longer the game goes, the better he gets. It is the same all the time.

He has got to up his game. I reckon 95, 97, every time he goes to the

board. Yesterday, it was your opinion that he would do that. You

said he wouldn't. What do you think now? Today is another day. I am

thinking that Martin Adams is under more pressure playing this match

tonight, even though the has got a great record against Tony O'Shea,

than many matches he has played recently. I do not think he will

throw a 97 average tonight. I am going to go for Tony O'Shea tonight.

He plays so well and he has got that fight back in him. I am not
