Australia are the next team to reach the Quarter-Finals of the World Cup of Darts tomorrow and they will face Wales who overcame Switzerland in the first match of the session. Like the first match though it went to the doubles decider with the team of Kyle Anderson & Simon Whitlock coming through successfully.
First of all, Simon Whitlock lost out to Cristo Reyes with the Spaniard punishing wasteful darts from the Premier League star to win 4-2 to put the Spanish team in the driving seat to go through to the next round of the World Cup of Darts.
Kyle Anderson came back though to face Toni Alcinas and won 4-1 to force the decider. A brilliant performance from 'The Original' was capped off with a 170 checkout. The deciding pairs game was a lot more of a nervy affair though.
Australia went 3-1 up only to be pegged back to 3-3 and a deciding leg forced in which Spain had the throw. The team of Whitlock and Anderson came together though to squeeze past and set up that match with Wales.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
