Last year Cross couldn't win the BDO England Open, now he wins the PDC World Championship. I hope you feel the difference. ;)

Bob Cross (Wales) would easily beat Labanauskas but that's all I'm afraid.

Loving those stats, break duration, points remaining, points scored, the key difference for me was the 0 - 60 column, that meant that Taylor was nearly always chasing, if you follow a 0 -60 score with 140 then a 100, or 180 then you're not far behind so what you follow such a score with is also important.

I think we are also going to see prize fund increases on the two dev tours and possibly even the other jobber tours like in Scandinavia. A European Challenge Tour can't be far off either.
