NewsSaturday, 04 August 2018 at 11:32
Peter Wright is the last player into the semi-finals of the Auckland Darts Masters and in the process has set up a clash with Michael Van Gerwen.
Wright did so by seeing off defending champion Kyle Anderson in like the other games a bit of a one sided affair.
It was 4-3 to ‘Snakebite’ at one point meaning a close encounter; but he streaked ahead to the finishing line.
A 93 average for the German Darts Masters champion with 3 180’s and 38% on the doubles meant an average performance; but with Anderson hitting the same amount of 180’s but 3/11 on doubles it was those that win the contest for Wright.

- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
