Wayne Mardle is back with his crystal ball to cast his eye over a crucial night of Premier League Darts in Manchester and reveal his predictions. zwart/blauw-Heren Nike Air Max Griffey schoenen . A huge night of action is in store on the penultimate leg of this years regular Premier League action. After Manchester, the curtain will come down following the first trip to Rotterdam and then Finals Night at the O2. Sky Live: Premier League Darts We preview the action in Manchester on Thursday night Michael van Gerwen claimed top spot last week and, along with a rejuvenated Phil Taylor, both men have secured a place in the top four. While their eyes are on the £25,000 bonus for finishing top, four other men have their eyes on a London spot. Robert Thornton and Raymond van Barneveld are eliminated and Gary Anderson is all but there, leaving Adrian Lewis, James Wade and Peter Wright to duke it out and Wayne believes this weeks fixtures will prove crucial......James Wade v Peter Wright  James Wade is tipped to come out on top in a crucial clash with Peter Wright (Pic: Michael Cooper) I want to know why James Wade is the outsider, I dont get it. If you were to say to any darts fan, Who would you make the favourite out of James Wade and Peter Wright? they would go, Im not sure, maybe James Wade.James is more than likely to win this game The reason being its really nip and tuck now and Peter Wright had a great week last week but he does seem to lose big matches. I think this is another big match that he loses. Darts Leicester story...almost When a 1,000-1 outsider almost did the impossible Contrary to that when it gets to the real nitty gritty, James Wade doesnt fail very often.I am going for James Wade on a price-based punt in a narrow win - Peter will have one dart at 36 off 116 and James will take out 94. (Sky Bet odds: James Wade to win 2/1)Gary Anderson v Robert Thornton Gary Anderson needs just a point to secure a place at the O2 later this month It wont be an easy game for Gary but I think he will relax to a point because he has almost qualified.Robert is so in and out. You can back for him with any kind of confidence whatsoever. He has had a really tough campaign. He did well not to be eliminated, he got the draw of Michael van Gerwen.I think Gary Anderson wins this at a canter, maybe 7-3. (Sky Bet odds: Gary Anderson to win 7-3 is 9/2)Michael van Gerwen v Raymond van Barneveld  MIchael Van Gerwen is determined to keep hold of top spot When will the bookies learn. 7-1, 7-1! It is ridiculous. Dont get me wrong, I wont be having a penny on van Barneveld this time.Van Gerwen is playing to a standard that I am not sure Barney can cope with, Im really not.For Barney to win, he would have to play like the World Championship [Barney won 4-3 in Decembers World Championship quarter-final], everything would have to be perfect. Van Gerwen would have to leave doubles and he would have to take out 135, then hed have to take out 121. Premier League Night 13 A look back at the talking points from events in Birmingham He wont outscore Michael, and now he cant qualify I dont see Barney giving any resistanceI think van Gerwen wins pretty simply purely because I dont think this is a game that Barney needs to win.  (Sky Bet odds: Michael van Gerwen to win 7-3 is 9/2)Adrian Lewis v Phil Taylor Phil Taylor takes on Adrian Lewis in Manchester on Thursday night (Pic: Lawrence Lustig) Its a big night for Adrian. He needs to avoid defeat. He has always said that he lacks the urgency, he is sometimes too patient in the Premier League.He has had a good campaign and he is playing well. He did a real good job on Robert Thornton last week. He looked superb for the best part of six or seven legs.Phil is playing a lot better than Robert Thornton and that is the problem for Adrian.I see it being close and I think maybe it has come at a good time for Adrian. Phil is not at the top of the league and there is now a bit of pressure on Phil to get there.I just think Phil has that little bit too much for Adrian, as usual every week, Im going for a last leg thriller but Phil Taylor to win. (Sky Bet odds: Phil Taylor to win 7-4 is 13/2)You can follow all the action on Thursday with our live blog here on www.skysports.com/darts and on Sky Sports 1 from 7pm.  Or watch for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TV.

NEW YORK -- Liam Carroll probably couldnt have picked a better location for the biggest games of his coaching career.As manager of the team representing Great Britain at this weeks World Baseball Classic qualifier, Carroll and his 28-man roster have their sights set on earning the final berth in next years 16-team WBC field. It would easily qualify as the biggest moment in the history of the British baseball program, and the fact that the event is being contested at MCU Stadium in Brooklyn carries personal significance for Carroll.My dad is from New York and grew up a hardcore Brooklyn Dodgers fan, Carroll said. Jackie Robinson is his idol.A statue of Robinson and Dodgers teammate Pee Wee Reese stands at the entrance to MCU Stadium, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones minor league team.That said, Carrolls mother is English and he was born and raised in London. He wants nothing more than for his players to figuratively plant the Union Jack flag here in Brooklyn by earning their first trip to the WBC.Theyre thrilled to be here and very excited for the opportunity, Carroll said.Great Britain is vying against Brazil, Israel and Pakistan for the final berth in the 16-team field for the 2017 WBC. The winner advances to face South Korea, Chinese Taipei and the Netherlands in pool play next March in Seoul.The hope around the Great Britain program is that victory in Brooklyn will raise awareness of baseball back home and push it closer to the mainstream. It wont be easy. Israel has several players with major league experience, and Brazil qualified for the 2013 WBC.Great Britain went 1-2 at its first WBC qualifier in September 2012. The Brits have a deeper talent pool and are better prepared this time around, and Carroll believes his team is ready to take the next step.The British national team is coming off a disappointing ninth-place finish at the 2016 European Baseball Championship. But WBC eligibility rules, which are established by Major League Baseball, are more flexible than those for the national team. Because of that, the roster has been bolstered by American and Bahamian players with parental connections to Britain.Four players from the British national club champion Southampton Mustangs are on the WBC qualifier roster -- pitchers Jordan Edmonds, Spencer Kreisberg, Rei Martinez and third baseman Maikel Azcuy. Martinez and Azcuy are Cuban natives who emigrated to England. Great Britain has 11 team members who played on MLB-affiliated teams this season, including three Triple-A players: catcher Chris Berset and pitchers Chris Reed and Michael Roth.Roth is a native of Greenville, South Carolina, but qualifies because his mother is a native of Kettering, England. His maternal grandparents both served in the Royal Air Force. Roth pitched for two College World Series champions at the University of South Carolina and was a member of the Great Britain team at the 2012 WBC qualifier in Germany. This time around, hes better prepared. He has four more years of professional experience under his belt, including major league service time with the Los Angeles Angels and Texas Rangers.This is probably [going to be the] smallest crowd that Ive played in front of this year, Roth said. That helps because when you get up here, whether theyre yelling or screaming at you -- like they were when I was at Fenway this year -- you just really focus on the catcher. Youre trying to execute pitches. Youre going out there and competing, and its really between you and the batter.Great Britain was planning to use pitcher Jacob EEsch in the Brooklyn qualifier, but that changed when the right-hander was promoted from Triple-A to the Miami Marlins. Nike Heren Air Max 2015|donker Grijs/oranje/Fluorescent groen schoenen. Esch is a native of St. Paul, Minnesota, and attended Georgia Tech, but his mother is an England native from St Austell, Cornwall.Wed love to have him here, but its huge for our program to have a British passport holder in the big leagues, Carroll said.One British player owes a footnote to New York baseball history. Bahamian-born outfielder Antoan Richardson scored the winning run for the Yankees when Derek Jeter delivered a walk-off hit in the final home game of his career on Sept. 25, 2014.Carrolls team preaches the adage of playing the game the GB way and focusing on three tenets -- inspire, develop and perform. One of the players who best embodies this belief is second baseman Richard Klijn. He grew up in the village of Cark in northwest England and began playing baseball at age 6. He has dyslexia, and baseball often provided refuge from frustrations at school. Baseball equipment was difficult to come by and proper playing fields were unheard of, but he stuck with the sport and eventually fell in love with it.By age 16, Klijn was in camp with the Great Britain national team. At 17, he left to play in the top baseball league in Germany. He won five Bundesliga championships with Regensburg Legionaere before joining the Haar Disciples club in suburban Munich in 2015. Now 26, he badly wants to help Great Britain advance to the WBC.I think weve done a good job of getting everyone together real fast and getting everyone to know each other, Klijn said. Were confident, and were feeling very good right now. I think weve got a great chance against all three teams.Great Britain has also tapped one of the top relief pitchers in baseball history to be its bullpen coach. Longtime San Diego Padres closer Trevor Hoffman, who ranks second in MLB history with 601 career saves, was brought on staff through his association with Great Britain assistant coach Brad Marcelino. Hoffmans mother is an England native from Southend-on-Sea, and his maternal grandfather was a footballer at Southend United.My mom is getting up there in age, and I think she would appreciate seeing her homeland represented by the family, Hoffman said.Carroll and Marcelino, meanwhile, are the threads that link Great Britains baseball past to its present.Marcelino was born in Essex and lived in London as a child. He played in three different decades as an outfielder for Great Britain, debuting in 1999 and culminating with the 2012 WBC qualifier. In between, he was a member of the 2007 British team that won silver at the European championships. Marcelinos father, Oscar, played for Great Britain in the 1980s and later coached in the program as well.Carroll joined the national program as an infielder in 1996 and began working his way up the coaching ladder starting in 2004. He also played for Oscar Marcelino at Porterville College in California for two seasons.Brad Marcelino has witnessed amazing growth in British baseball since the days when his father played. Today, more than 20,000 Britons participate in baseball and softball, and the structure of the national team and development program has been firmly cemented.Light years [apart], a complete 180, Marcelino said in contrasting the two eras. To now have the public see that theres a program on an international stage is tremendous. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
