Rob Cross produced one of the most miraculous comebacks in the history of the World Matchplay to see off Daryl Gurney and set up a final with Michael Smith at the Winter Gardens.

Cross was 15-9 down against Gurney but began to claw back the legs and when 'Superchin' started to falter, 'Voltage' got stronger. He spoke after completing the win and said that it will stay with him forever.

In addition, he added that he believes the crowd spurred him on in this instance and that he will be ready for the final where he will take on the 'Bully Boy' for his first taste of major glory since the World Championship.

"I feel absolutely amazing, this will stay with me forever," said Cross.

"The crowd spurred me on to win it. I'm so thankful for their support and I'm so grateful to still be in the tournament.

"I wasn't too bad in the first five legs but then it deteriorated. I missed a shed load of doubles and deserved to be behind. I was poor but as my scoring came back I really tried to put my foot down.

"I didn't feel myself tonight so I've got to be right for the final, and I will be. If I'm ready, then anything can happen."
