Rob Cross remarkably averages 111 and loses to Chris Dobey as Last 16 confirmed at Players Championship 26
PDCThursday, 19 October 2023 at 17:06
The Last 16 is all but finalised with only one game still ongoing between Ryan Joyce and Daniel Klose, but the latter stages now begin at Players Championship 26.
Chris Dobey will be one of those involved, albeit Rob Cross will feel aggrieved not to be given the average he threw. 'Voltage' hit 111.8 in defeat to 'Hollywood' losing out 6-4 in a ridiculous standard in Barnsley with Dobey himself hitting 107 in victory.
He now faces Robert Grundy in the Last 16. Gerwyn Price averaged 106 in his win over Mario Vandenbogaerde, albeit another Belgian also hit those heights with Dimitri van den Bergh hitting the same average in a 6-3 win over Josh Rock.
Peter Wright and Luke Humphries are also through with the former now facing Van den Bergh. Both averaged ton plus with 101` and 102 respectively. Chris Landman who is now facing Gerwyn Price and Jose de Sousa were the other players to hit over 100+.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- 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
