the audio of the games from like a decade ago sound so much better than nowadays. both the sound of the darts and the caller. i dont know whats up with that lately but i hope it can get fixed.
When these two played at their best, always classics, as two natural throwers, no mind games needed…let’s just go toe to toe…
Great commentary by the now late..John Gywnne. RIP
Have a close look in their eyes.. the unbreakable will to win but having a huge amount of respect to their opponent - This is darts.
Has to be said the chemistry between John Gwynne and Stuart Pyke commentating in this game has to go down as one of the best in darts commentary history
You serious? They were cheering for Lewis all the time. I can understand that they support the player out of their country, but don’t make it that obvious….
Rip 🙏
@@daan6643 Why not?If they were Dutch commentators they would be surely cheering on Van Gerwen init!
@@thecatsarse6542because england is dominating darts anyway...
That 146 would of been one of best skin savers of all time
Your comment made me think back to Wright hitting the 140 C/O in the worlds with Noel Malicdem waiting on an easy finish to knock him out in round one..... Wright went on to win the entire thing!
Amazing looking back. I think Malicdem had about 9 darts from 181 to win it and only got one dart at the bull.
Sorry.... you just got me thinking of skin savers!!!!
These matches are absolutely brilliant. Never stop publishing these!!👍🏻
And 9 years later this will be a 1st round match. Cant wait 🔥
The pace of this game is gorgeous to watch. God I love this game.
Loved the mid 2010s era in darts.
It’s a weird time right now where there’s barely a gap between the top guys and the mid range guys. Makes it fun and unpredictable.... but it somehow doesn’t seem right without the 1-2 dominant forces!! Not necessarily complaining, more adjusting!
This is true, 100% makes the winner less predictable which itself should bring more intrigue but it doesn't feel like there are any superstars right now, everyone feels even, I enjoyed the lewis mvg Taylor era more than any other I think
Love it when MVG raises Aidys arm showing he respects that he deserved the win
Almost a decade later, they are both facing each other in the first round 🤯.
Id give anything to see that game tomorrow even being half as good as this was and we’re in for a belter !!
Lewis was so good to watch. Just natural ability. Hope he gets back.
He has just ran into mvg first round and narrowly lost
He gone, move on.
@@doctorjeep86 any need to be rude? I played against him last year and he was so good.
Quit the negativity, if we don't see him again, he was great to watch in general
@@doctorjeep86not really he’s still young asf
@@doctorjeep86 Except hes literally said hes coming back you mong
I can't be more excited for the Matchplay.
As MvG, Taylor, Lewis and Wade were the top 4
MvG, taylor, lewis, withlock for me
Or peter is good to
@@rafaromero3525 peter wasn't near the top 4 then
@@rafaromero3525 he's talking about the best players back then not your preferences!
@@tomventro6734 Peter Whitlock lmao
RIP John Gwynne
Man what a match
That 146 would’ve been ridiculous
Neither are my favorite darters but sure would be fun to see them back in this type of form.😮
Even Ady to MvG at the end: "What a game"! Says it all there
Lewis on his day is just absolutely amazing to watch. What a player man!
I completly agree that those were absolute classics between them, Taylor & one or 2 others. The fact that you have to love as a darts fans nowaday is, that you can really expect that quality by 32 or more players week in week out.
Darts was never this unpredictable and well balanced as in the last months. So hyped for the Matchplay to begin where you can not really predict a top 4 or something like it. There are like 12-14 players i would not be suprised seeing winning this one. For my part fingers crossed for Smith, Luke or Dimi.
Let's get it started ;)
No words... The best match EVER !!!
WTF 😂
Thanks for bringing back these memories
the first reaction of lewis says it all ‘what a game’
wish i got to watch this Lewis
He was my favourite to watch during this period. He just flowed. Relentless 180 hitter.
I hope we see this on Sunday again!
MvG’s 112 C/O covered the fact that Russ Bray somehow managed to get 42 from a 5-19-1 🤣🤣 27:24
Russ thought that this dart in the 1 was in the 18 I guess
what a game.happy to see my favorite player to win it.
If I could wish for one player to win a major this year it would be Lewis,
Adrian Lewis on his A-game is a joy to behold.
A month or two ago it would've been easy to pick the winner of MvG v Lewis, but now I have no idea since MvG has only played once since his surgery and was poor, and Lewis was in good form at the latest Player Championships. Very excited for this match in a few days
Lewis will bottle it
Not the same jackpot anymore
Can’t wait for the game this weekend
What a game! Unbelievable set of balls on both these guys. To play darts of that standard under that kind of pressue for that long is incredible!
Brilliant stuff
Prachtige wedstrijd. Heerlijk om te kijken.
That D13 🤯
Jackpot is back❤️🎯
Finally they posted it
One of the best matches ever. What happened to Lewis though he has fallen off a cliff. His action has never been as smooth as what it used to here.
Insane. Love it
This is an insane match🔥🔥
Best match I've ever seen ...
Brilliant game 👏👏🎯🎯🏴
I remember watching this,
What a game,
And now they have each other in the first round, let's hope for fireworks
One hell of a match 🙂🙂
Team MVG allways for me the goat especially playing in this era the green machine 💚💚💚
Sensational
Man that was some game👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice sweater russ!
Good spot. Don’t often see that in July!
I will add….I always thought Ade’s downturn started when Phil retired….Phil is playing again, obviously not at his previous level, but I bet Phil has practiced with Ade & refocused him. ? Thoughts
Yep and we has defending a final place in 2018 wc's and that's where he dropped down the rankings
@@hghsnper3995 in Ades own words, ‘without a shadow of doubt’….very true Sir.
Russ Bray looks like a British cowboy . All he’s missing is a sweet hat 🤠
Holy mackerel what a game man
I think the MVG and Lewis matches were the most enjoyable to watch. Both match each other on tempo and seem to feed off each other.
Those Unicorn boards back then were sooo hard. So many bounce-outs. Even when Lewis' darts stuck in the board, you could see the tail slightly droop because the point is just barely hanging in. I used to complain about that era of Unicorn boards in league play because the Winmau Blade series was such a huge improvement (softer, rarely get bounce-outs, quieter, etc..)
Execellent fight at the oche.
No screaming towards the other Player or the audience.
Best game everrrrr,
what a match this was!
Jackpot 🎰 🐐
What a match!
Phenomenal standard of darts. I wonder if I can reach the canal with my darts mmm🤔
Might be one off the best matched ever played - loved when lewis was on top
These 2 Taylor bristow Barney Anderson price and Wright darts at its best
Team MVG but these 2 dont mess about they just get on with it but they have had some belting games over the years mainly dominated by gerwen but great to watch
Love you
What a match, geil
27:24 lol
40:20
Aidy at his best fast flowing rhythmic dartition
A friend don't understand the fascination of darts? Show him this match!!
In the 24th leg at the end russ Bray called 42 for Lewis in fact it was 25
Can you believe this was 10 years ago?..
Wow, Mikey wasn't switching to the T19 as frequently then. These days when that first dart goes anywhere below T20, he switches right away.
These classic matches were best.. With Phil Lewis mvg
Along with Barney and Gary Anderson imo watching these 5 at there very best was the best darts has probably ever been I’d add price and peter Wright to the list too 2 modern greats
Lewis makes the game look so easy and natural
I really hope that Adrian Lewis comes back to his best 🙏
Stopped now
I only can say that I don't like both players, but there sensational darts let me back with a 🤤!!! I'm really happy to see them at the World Matchplay 2022 Round 1!!!! Let's go JACKPOT, you can do it! One 🍒 for MVG, and 🎰 the Jackpot for you! Good luck and very well thrown darts!!!
Were these constant quick camera switches standard back then or is it edited?
First one.
Back when Lewis was an absolute beast
this was the semi final ...holy shit get ready to melt in the final
Prime lewis was a joy to watch
I can tell that Aidy and MVG are very good friends
As a dutchy i like the Players Championship from 2013 more, good game though.
That double 8 killed him 😱
One of the best darts matches I've ever seen. Unrelenting
Why Do They Join The Match After The Match Starts, Is It A Copyright Issue Or Something?
the old grind. and only a semi. different now
Can see why PDC doesn't use unicorn boards anymore hey!
Wonderful to see "Jr" Homer Simpson getting flattened back then, happens the same today...Marge Simpson was well pissed off🤣
Back then when lewis was one of the best players
Adrian Lewis…. One of the greatest of all time 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
If this adrain Lewis turns up at the matchplay it's standby pdc.
Lewis Lewis Lewis
25:58
John Gwynne at his best
Van Gerwin looks a lot shorter here strangely
It'd be nice if they'd hire a spotter that can handle Smith's speed and maths
When Lewis is happy he play's well... But when he's angry he is not himself, and that's the main reason he lost form over the last couple of years.
Okay but how good was Russ Bray looking
I'm not a Lewis fan as his temperament is shite, but when he was in his pomp, the darts were special. He just won a players championship last week, so you never know. It would be good for them all to back on form. Doesn't seem right he's not in the mix when the other still are like Anderson and Wade.
Look at Lewis confidence here..... He clearly knew that he is a better player then him.... now he is just losing because of his fear to lose.....
When Lewis is on it nobody better but he's just as likely to throw 26 as 180 🤔
