WHAT A NIGHT OF DARTS! 🤯 | Day 11 Evening Highlights | 2022/23 Cazoo World Darts Championship

[@mrmattbirkett]

15:30 One of the greatest darting moments I’ve ever seen! Mensur’s reaction, the commentary, MvG’s priceless face on the replay… incredible!

[@GQ2593]

Mvg has an incredible pokerface.

[@jacobvandijk6525]

Fantastic!

You forgot the crowd.

[@Scribble336]

The best.👀

[@example2844]

Im not a Suljovic fan, but that 161 from Suljovic is probably one of the greatest checkouts at the world championship of all time

[@pdjhh]

Same here he's a pain in the ass to watch being so slow but that was awesome. Especially as mvg didn't go for a finish and also Suljovic showed he's a good bloke. Albeit a bit slow 😀

[@aupotter2584]

priceless moment, excellent reply to disrespect or disbelief 😄

[@whitegregory4021]

Gotta love darts.

[@call_in_sick]

Why you not a fan he’s fantastic to watch

[@example2844]

@Chris Trickett nah I'm not. He's just slow, his throw is weird as well cuz he draws it beside his head, plus whenever he's facing somebody, I always find myself rooting for the other guy rather than Mensur

[@nicksimpson4058]

That 161 checkout, under that pressure, is absolutely phenomenal

[@simonlancaster4320]

Arguably the pressure was off...

[@MrLoesoe]

Lol he had no pressure, pressure was on MvG

[@MrLoesoe]

@Sonroy i mean he more or less already lost, so arguably the pressure was not on him.

[@Dermot501]

That match saving out shot from Mensur was incredible.Smith v Schindler was a classic 🎯👍

[@Tugrar]

Feel so bad for Schindler, he had a great 3/4 of a game but couldn’t handle the pressure. Hope to see more from him.

[@maltipoo5221]

Wow, what a come back from Bully Boy! 😲 Didn't expect that Schindler will lose being in lead with 3-1 and playing so well. Also need to mention 161 check out from Suljovic and 170 from Bully Boy - that was simply great! 👍

[@GISALEGENDYT]

Great night of darts, I'd say MVG has this as really seems motivated for it with the performances he's brought so far. All we need is a 9 darter and we're sorted. Fair play to Mensur for playing equally well great to see and Schindler just ran out of steam sadly.

Playing the percentage didn’t work out. This was exactly like when Bristow was gonna checkout 121 but refused to go for the bull and Keith Deller wins the world championship with a 138 in 1983!

[@timothydempsey8963]

Well stats don't throw darts lol

[@sigmatic__]

I sometimes feel there’s a phenomenon as a sports fan where you feel the best of the sport has already happened, and you can’t imagine moments of a similar caliber being made in the present. Thank you Mensur Suljović for proving that wrong.

[@hansolo2121]

If you are referring to the Bristow Deller final than no. The two moments are not even remotely the same.

Smith/Schindler was epic.

[@mikewilliams-no9cm]

Poor Schindler fell apart a bit late in the match but these big champs know how to ramp it up at the end its shocking Thats why they are at the top

[@SteveNinetyski]

Wouldn't say it looked like he fell apart, it looked more as though he was 1-2mm out on 4 or 5 key darts for double or to set up an easier finish he may well have hit.

Mensur may have been beat, but that 161 was one of the best moments from a championship in recent memory and he should be proud of himself

[@terencemeikle534]

MVG v. Mensur: now that was special. The feeling I used to get when Taylor was up there was back, and it felt super great. In good measure, too, the Dream Team of commentators Mardle/Part contributed to the magic.👌

[@am7062skywalker]

Hi, On the 4rth set Second leg MVG needed 122, It's hard to see on the video but his first two darts looking in the 18 equals 36 and then he went for the bulls eye, The commentator said he hit the bulls eye which would have been a score of 86 but the ref shouted 96. The dart that went in the bull's eye actually hit the 25 not the bulls eye. So even if MGV hit 4 - 18s with his first two darts and hit a 25 with his last dart the score would have been 97 not 96. MVG was on 122 at the time but the scoreboard scorer got it right because MVG was left with 25 points after the throw. There was a few mistakes with that visit to the dartboard.

[@jackjones5138]

Comment is completely wrong. Commentators say is that 50, saying has he left 50 as they also couldn't see if it went in the treble. Ref clearly shouts 97. So there were no mistakes. 👍😁

MVG didn't miscount. He went for T20 to have the best chance at leaving a double (D7). He hits a single 14 after so he definitely did not think he needed 84.

[@markomahony5332]

Bristow / dellar vibes with the 161 checkout

[@hansolo2121]

The two moments are not even remotely the same. Bristow refused a bull in the final when Deller was on a check out to become World Champion!!! That was stupid... This MvG Mensur thing was in a 3rd round and it was just a little unlucky for MvG. Nothing more. It can happen. And in the end MvG won relatively easy with 4-2. If this was the World final and Mensur was on a finish to become world champion NO WAY MVG would have refused the bull.

He had the highest avarage so far 😅. So why he would be knockout? Maybe place a bet, you can win some good money. But i predict you wil lose lol😂.

[@maltipoo5221]

Obviously you are not watching darts for a long time. You can have 100+ average, a nine darter and 170 checkout one day, but lose in the next with 90 average. That's why I bet Suljovic would most likely lose in the next round even if he went through and won MVG. Every darts player has good and bad days, but the real winners are those who can show their best game when it matters the most.
