Just the one for me to begin with although I could play a couple more tomorrow. 10pts P.Taylor vs A.Lewis - Highest Checkout Over 120.5 5/6 Blue Square Phil Taylor is playing as well as ever at the minute. In winning both the German Players Championship events at the weekend he took his form to a whole new level. He beat Raymond Barneveld in the final of Saturday's event and averaged a staggering 116.34 :eek. Incredibly, Barney still won a set! Adrian Lewis seems to have come back towards his best in the last week or two as well. A lot of that is down to going back to his old darts which he broke onto the scene using. He's a class act when he's playing well and I fully expect a 121+ checkout here. Last week Lewis took out 134 on his way to beating Jenkins while Taylor took out a 164 against James Wade. That 164 was Taylor's 10th ton plus checkout of this event with 7 of them being enough to see this bet home. Lewis is no stranger to big checkouts either and last weeks effort was his 4th of the league. Taylor's standard are so high these days that he'll always be threatening this total and it looks way too low on current form.

Re: Darts: Premier League Week 9 Taylor -3.5 11/10 10 pts Taylor is in awesome form at the moment and it is difficult to see him losing when he plays like this. He had two more wins at the weekend, 9 darter as well. Im not Lewis' biggest fan but he did play well last week when beating Jenkins, 100+ average. However Lewis faces a huge task here and there is a strong chance that he could be blown over, he actually played quite well against Taylor in week 2 yet still lost comfortably and Taylor is in much better form now compared to then. Lewis has the throw which makes 8-4 with 2 breaks or lower a real possibility. Mardle 13/10 10 pts Mardle has suddenly found some form, he has started to hit his doubles and has taken out Jenkins and Barney as a result in recent weeks. He also got to q/f at the weekend so thats further proof as to better form and given how he is such a confidence player, he will fancy his chances against Manley. Manley started the league pretty well and proved hard to beat but he has not really hit the heights since beating Taylor and he had two early exits at the weekend, Mardle for me.
