Watch Michael van Gerwen's nine-dart finish, and Phil Taylor's row with Raymond van Barneveld First, in what will surely go down as one of the greatest sets of darts ever played, Van Gerwen produced a nine-dart finish against James Wade in the semi-final of the PDC World Championship. Then, he very nearly did it again. After 17 perfect darts in a row, Van Gerwen lined up the double-12 that would have secured a place in immortality, and missed by perhaps a quarter of an inch. Watch it on YouTube. Later, Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld appeared to exchange angry words after shaking hands at the end of the match. Taylor downplayed the row, but the brief glimpse of the fire which burns beneath the ice cool Taylor has only served to whet the appetite even more ahead of Tuesday's final, which is already the most keenly-anticipated match in years. Watch Taylor's clash with Van Barneveld.
