RE: Darts
Glad about that.

It's odd, many BDO folk, such as Anderson, seem quite underwhelming there, and yet feted enough to go to the PDC. Anderson never struck me as a BDO world champion, so it seems weird that he's now a 2-time PDC one. I can grasp the idea that playing better players might improve his own skills, but that sort of evolution seems somehow OTT.

I notice last year's runner-up Fallon "some resemblance to Alex Adams" Sherrock has been KO'd from the Women's tourney already.

RE: Darts
Yep Sherrock is out of the BDO Womens event.
Anastasia Dobromyslova is also out.
Nine time ladies champ Trina Gulliver had an almighty scare too before battling through a sudden death leg.

In the BDO mens event top seed Glen Durrant and defending champion Scott Mitchell have both progressed to round two.

Maybe its the better quality of player in the pdc made him up his game in the beginning

Anderson won the International Darts League and World Darts Trophy in 2007 while still in BDO which had a field of best players from both organisations including World Champions beating likes of Phil Taylor, Adrian Lewis, James Wade to name just a few

RE: Darts
Thought Ted Hankey was comfortably through, so I was surprised by "Hankey whitewashed in 1st round" stories. Turned out he was comfortably through a Preliminary round (!)

Eurosport tends to show a few BDO events, and I daresay they wouldn't quibble at the chance of the World Championships.

RE: Darts
Have to say that the BDO atmosphere is completely different to the PDC worlds in fact its almost dead when they throw the darts dont know hadnt noticed before until watching the pdc for the last couple of weeks
