Gary Anderson and Rob Cross ensure bizarre scenes at the European Darts Grand Prix. Both play a leg to scary.
Curious scenes in Sindelfingen: At the European Darts Grand Prix, the two former world champions Gary Anderson and Rob Cross played a leg to forget. In the end, Anderson only checked the 29th (!) Dart to 6: 3 victory.
“I stopped counting the matchdarts,” said commentator Adrian Geiler at DAZN after Anderson had already thrown 27 darts. In the end, the Scotsman still completed on the double 1. A leg in which even amateurs could think: “I can do that too”. Ultimately, it was an average of 51.87 points in the leg.
Gary Anderson needed almost 30 darts for a leg
It didn’t look like this at the beginning. Cross even had the opportunity to check 130 points after 12 darts, but missed Bull. Then the “Double Trouble” took its course.
Particularly curious: after 21 thrown darts, and with a laugh at the audience, pointed to his arrows and then to the board. According to the motto: “Do you want to try it”?
Not a bad leg for the first time
The otherwise strongly playing professionals were unable to end the leg. After his next missed throw, Cross turned to Anderson, after a brief exchange and laughing, they clapped off before the game ended. Both seemed incredulously in the face of what they brought to the ox in this leg.
“It is Joe Cullen and Thibault Tricole Reloaded,” commented Geiler and thus spoke about the crazy scenes of the past weekend.
At the Austrian Darts Open, Cullen only achieved the leg win with dart number 40. The worst leg in the history of the European Tour, which has existed since 2012.
