I don't think there was ever a title defense like this, I genuinely believe this was the best title defence of all time, cuz he was on fire from the go in this world championship
What a run by Gary Anderson in the World stage! Being undefeated from the 2015 World Championship until being beaten by MvG at the 2017 World Championship Final. Phenomenal stuff!
Imagine Gary had dedicated himself to darts the way Taylor did. Imo he would have at least 5 or 6 world championships maybe more but admits himself he doesn't practice the way he should. When he is on I really don't think there is a better player. Gary and mvg are both the 2 best in the world imo but Peter Wright is right up there now too tbf. The last couple of years he has really came on so maybe say the top 3. I like price at times but doesn't seem to be as consistent as these guys when they are really focused. 2015 and 2016 gary really was unaplyabe at times. Like mvg in 2017 they just have that thing about them and just make it look so easy at times. Absalute legend and proud to say I'm from Musselburgh just along the road from were gary stayed in his younger days. I actually went to school with his middle brother Stuart but unfortunately never met Gary he was a bit older. So glad he turned out to be the player he is. Always will be one of the best to ever do it
I think with gary he wasnt prepared to give up his personal life the way taylor did. Taylor had almost no life as he completely dedicated everything to darts. You see the same with MVG now, he wants to see his family more when he can if it means missing out on practice or the odd tournament
@@oogabooga2337 Same thing happened with Lewis. Got a family, kids, and was mentally never the same. That's the right choice tbh. Look at where Taylor is now - alone
@@zeinmets3550 Yeah the hunger just goes naturally too, especially since the tour is so much more intensive now with more tournaments and since the prize money is so much higher now you can have a couple good years and be set for life. back then you had to be top of the game for a long time to bet set for life. Lewis won 2 world championships in his 20s, most people are happy with that and want to enjoy their life. winning milions of pounds and having no time to spend it is a waste of a life
If they all played at their best, how many players could genuinely beat Gary? Taylor, MvG, possibly Lewis? Even now when he's not being a miserable tit he can still put up some bloody good averages. Been really unlucky in the big tournaments so far this year. Averaged 111 and went 60% on doubles against Cross at the Masters, gets beat 10-6 because Rob decided to average 112 and go 77% on doubles. Averages 102 against Gurney, gets beat 11-4 because Daryl averaged 104 and went 69% on the doubles. Surely there's a run coming soon. Maybe not the Grand Prix or the European Championship, Grand Slam or PC Finals? We know he likes to save his best for Ally Pally mind...
When are you Brits going to catch on to Cricket Points? '01 is a great game, but it gets sooooo booooooring. In Cricket Points you battle the other player, in '01 you merely play the board.
You comment on a video from the semi-finals of the Darts World Championship... probably one of the best matches ever for Gary, certainly entertaining compared to a lot of matches out there. I can understand ‘01 being repetitive... but it is way more competitive than cricket in my opinion. Also, the first player in cricket has a huge advantage compared to playing a leg of 501 for example. It’a certainly more enjoyable to play cricket with some friends for example but for the world championship of darts, come on lol.
Hope gary returns to this form after covid! Phenomenal player at his epic best!
"Joins the roll of legends who have hit a 9 darter at the worlds."
And Dean Winstanley.
I know dean and he's a quality guy
I think Lorraine traps Dean nowadays at the dartboard, however Dean will comeback stronger ⚡
@@hennimanhiver197 Bit rude in retrospect.
@@ichmagheringway89 no it wasn't, hardly can be classed as a legend can he?
@@no1wasgeorgiebest Anyone who hits a 9 darter is a legend
4:00 the nine darter worth 2 legs
An absolutely phenomenal first set from Gary Anderson averaging 132.62 with a 12, 13 and 9 darter 😯🔥
Unpopular opinion: at his best, he's the Best player ever behind Taylor and MVG
Why unpopular opinion? This is true
@@Jojo-ri3fu some people would argue bristow and RVB mate, but ando on fire is different gravy👍
I say that’s a popular opinion lol
@@ConnorBennett180 Yes I know, Bristow and Barney are legends but Anderson at his best ist better, definitely
@@ConnorBennett180 RVB is comparable but the level back during the Bristow days was not like this insanity
If you want one leg to sum up this match, skip to 40:50.
Jelle Klaasen: 180, 57, 58...
Gary Anderson: 180, 140, 165...
I don't think there was ever a title defense like this, I genuinely believe this was the best title defence of all time, cuz he was on fire from the go in this world championship
Oooohh Gary Gary, Gary Gary Gary Gary ANDERSOOOON
What a run by Gary Anderson in the World stage!
Being undefeated from the 2015 World Championship until being beaten by MvG at the 2017 World Championship Final. Phenomenal stuff!
Great sportsmanship between these two in defeat and victory! A fantastic example for others of how to behave!!

YES GARY ANDERSON!
Gary is a hell of a player
The best dart player to pick up a dart in my opinion
lol, not how opinions work. I think you mean he’s your favourite bro.
Imagine being klaasen in that opening set lol
The whole match
Probably wanted to just go straight out the door and back to the Netherlands at the first break.
Imagine being klaasen
@@tantumverde8877 a world champion? I would live to be
Klaasen starts clapping as soon as the winning double goes in. Wee bit of class there
that first set was fireeee
I dont think you will ever see somebody taking apart like this again in a semi final at world championship.
I watched this Video so often and its amazing
The first set of darts is the best I’ve ever seen.
I'd like to see the match between Gary & Joe Cullen from the Matchplay 2018
I sincerely hope Ando can return to this form once the World Darts Championship starts...
Bloody excellent mate.
9-Darter at 3:00
Arguably the best throw versus one of the worst ones
To be fair Jelle has had to re-train his throw due to elbow problems.
One of the prettiest vs one of the ugliest. Still means nothing just look at Steve Beaton
@@BPags not the most ugly
Anderson just before he started wearing glasses was almost unplayable
False
And the crowd goes wild ! What a purple patch for the Ledge!
i like the way gary throw the darts
Well i hope he uses this darts again sometime
me: skips the first 3:20
gary: NINE DARTER AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
me: pog
My next recommended video is the same match that was posted 3 years ago lol.
Jelle Klaasen has a really weird throw...anyone noticed that?
Who was doing the scores? Norman Wisdom?!
at 6:45 surely it doesn't go from 152 to 22 instead of 12 with a 140 score
The scoreboard was proper messed up in this game.
what did gary anderson have for an avarage in the match?
107,85 AVG and 47,37% on doubles
Van gerwen watching with a smile
3:00 if klassen would’ve hit his double Gary would’ve had a 140+ average.
Once he needed glasses he went down hill
7:03, shouldnt he throw a D11 ?
@THE NEW MONKEY yes, but he hit the D6
Actually it requires 12 for D6 but the scoreboard is wrong
21:20 lol
The best and worst performance in the history of the semis
GEEZ
kaBLAM!!
