DARTS fans hailed the “best match ever”;; after Luke Littler beat Luke Humphries 6-3 in a blur of FOURTEEN 180s.
Littler averaged 116 and Humphries 110 in their opener.
And commentator Wayne Mardle exclaimed “even they’re finding it funny”;; – as the world’s two finest players left viewers awed.
Humphries wore the biggest grin of all – when he fell victim to the most brutal leg of all.
The pair were level at 3-3 when they whipped Mardle into frenzy by trading three 180s... before Littler checked out on 144.
The Sky Sports pundit raved: “Are you’re kidding me! Are you’re kidding me! This is ridiculous. This is an absolute joke. Even they are finding it funny!”;;
Poor Humphries outscored the Nuke by nine maximums to five – but still lost.
But both were long ago assured a place in the Prem playoff finals at the O2 Arena in London on May 23.
One fan responded to their quarter-final by insisting: “Has to be the highest level this sport has ever seen.”;;
Another posted: “That wasn’t darts, that was pure theatre! Littler vs Humphries gave us a modern classic.”;;
And a third wrote: “What the hell did I just watch? Astonishingly high quality darts that.”;;
A fourth noted: “Littler defies NINE 180s from Humphries to secure top spot in the table!”;;
Many rated it “the best”;; or “one of the greatest”;; darts matches ever
And with the pair teaming up next month for England, some fans made points like: “World cup gonna be hilarious. Whitewash every game.”;;
