Cross storms to whitewash victory over Cullen, North produces superb comeback to edge past West
PDCSunday, 15 September 2019 at 16:16
Rob Cross and Richard North are both into the Quarter-Finals as the line up is confirmed at the International Darts Open in Riesa.
Cross stormed to a 6-0 whitewash of Joe Cullen which included a 101.3 average from 'Voltage'. Cullen himself averaged 91 but only hit two scores above 140 in the contest compared to 7 from Cross and two 180's.
He was only afforded one dart at double as well with Cross himself hitting just shy of 50 percent. It will be a weekend of frustration to Cullen who still does not have his luggage which meant he couldn't play with his darts or shirt.
North on the other hand came from 4-1 and 5-2 down to edge past Steve West in a 6-5 win to continue his run this weekend. He will now take on Cross in the final confirmed Quarter-Final.

- 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
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
