Jose de Sousa proved old habits die hard as his latest miscount came in the form of bust 181 on Saturday night.
The Portuguese star has developed a reputation for his poor counting over the years, but it reached new heights as he messed up 181. It proved to be tremendously embarrassing for the 48-year-old, who made the error during Portugal’s match against Scotland in the World Cup of Darts.
Their second round clash went to a doubles game after John Henderson had defeated Vitor Jeronimo and De Sousa had surprisingly topped Peter Wright in the singles match 4-3. It was a high-quality contest and served to prolong the World Cup drama.
