Bunting looked the real deal when he first moved to the PDC but it looks like his heads gone a bit and he can't finish games off.
He's got the talent and is plenty young enough to come back but he could just as easily be another Mark Webster and fade away to the periphery. Didn't mind him losing last night though- I really like Darren Webster. |

Bunting was one of those players the PL broke same as Webster and Huybrechts. Surprising the amount of players who seem to enter a slump afterwards.

Paul Nicholson and Colin Osborne both won majors now they are ranked lower than me ![]() Alan Tabern, Mark Walsh, Andy Jenkins, Andy Hamilton - players who had a good couple of years or so then virtually vanished. |

Think it's safe to say that this afternoon's line up is solely for the purists with Mark Webster, Ian White and, most tellingly, Justin Pipe in action.

Nice to hear John Gwynne on commentary this afternoon.
Slightly sobering as well when you consider that he's the last member of the great Sky darts commentary trio who's still with us. |

Imagine Pipe is one of the few seeds in this round to be the outsider in his game. The only thing worse than a Justin Pipe game is a Justin Pipe game where he's playing rubbish! Lets hope he actually has some form today!! |

I wonder whether Pipe's extra experience might tell in this match now.
Doesn't look like it at the moment though... |

Dobey does it!
He blew two winning opportunities but not the third. That match will do absolute wonders for Chris Dobey's experience and darting education. Have to say that was an unexpectedly engrossing game, all told. |

The John Gwynne on commentary thing I always thought he had retired from doing darts on sky

Finally crawled over the line.
Surely the last time we see Pipe here? |

Yes although I do like all of the team Pike Mardle Harrington Studd and Part, I'm not feeling Dudbridge at all though he seems a good lad but just a bit annoying for me.
Not a fan of Mardle at all. Very average player and a worse commentator, full of his daft phrases like "oh hello". As for Rodney, well he is to commentary what Justin Pipe is to speed. Rate Part, Studd, Pearson and Pike a lot but ITV4 commentary much better for me. |

Nonsense from Murnan there, 110 finish, hit the T20 but missed the big 10.
Cost him the set. And Webster wins in straight sets after a clinical display of finishing, if not scoring. |

Yes I understand Mardle is a mixed bag as a commentator, I do think he was very capable as a player on his day and a great watch I loved watching him, 5 world semis I think it is? not bad.

Now that is the way to earn yourself a match against Phil Taylor.
A 156 finish wins it for David Platt. |

Alan Norris has got a match on his hands here against John Michael if that first set is anything to go by.
And that bull finish at the start of the second set. |
