He did play excellently throughout though, I reckon he just bottled it in the final.

To be fair though, if you take away Taylor and Barneveld, I don't think there's much between PDC and BDO.

Martin Adams just beat Phill Nixon 3-0, a bit of a shock after their match in the final last year.

A bit of an anti-climax... Nixon never got going. Amazing to see Adams' interview after the match though...

I think it was the emotion of being out there as world champion, having waited so long to get there, coupled with the fact he was playing Phill again, after last year's epic.

IF he plays to his capabilities hes a strong favorite to win again Yeah, he's been consistently the best BDO player for a couple of years now, he just often lacks the bottle at the crucial time. |

It was totally uncalled for. It's not as if he'd done anything that could be perceived as unreasonable. I can't blame him for not being happy about it.
