King will have to throw 100+ average tonight - has he ever thrown an average like that over an extended period? If Taylor gets his mojo going King will capitulate.

This year Mardle and Klaasan are not upto it and simply provide fodder for the others - Hamilton and Lewis would have provided better quality
Taylor 8-1, 8-2

Totally agree.

Taylor to win 8-5 tonight.

Don't Sky have a say in the wildcards though? That's why Mardle got in. Next years PL will be interesting especially with all the key players coming over from the BDO.

Thought he didi that 2 weeks ago??

He has averaged 97.6, 104, 103, 97.6 in the first 4 weeks, 97 will not beat Taylor, if he gets back up at 103/4 he has every chance.

I wonder whether it was a good idea for King to duck the German tournaments at the weekend though where Taylor won both Players Championships.

97 could easily beat Taylor. An extra 6 points on his average doesn't win/lose legs.

Averages don't mean everything and don't win/lose legs as you say, but if King averages 97 and Taylor 107 it does suggest it will be very hard to break Taylors throw as he is always likely to get to the double first when throwing first.

I think that difference of 6 points will reflect how good he is on his doubles

King bottled it, had 2 darts to win it, he's just sunk my bet.
