The Premier League Darts newcomer will play Gary Anderson this week, live on Sky Sports 1 HD at 7pm, and will be hoping for an easier ride than Van Gerwen gave him in Aberdeen.The mighty Dutchman recorded a highest ever televised average of 123.4 en route to a 7-1 victory that left Smiths jaw on the floor. I was just thinking when are you going to stop. When are you going to have a bad few legs? He never did. Michael Smith I just had to stand and watch, there was nothing I could do, Smith told Sky Sports. Even when I was nearing a finish, he was checking out the 132s and stuff like that. You were trying to get in to play, but he would not even let you. You just had to watch what he was doing.I was just hoping he would miss, so I could win a leg. I didnt was to get nil-ed! When he missed the double 18, I got a shot at the 116 and I checked it, I thought at least I got one. The debate has started. Is Michael van Gerwen the greatest darts player ever? I was just thinking when are you going to stop. When are you going to have a bad few legs? He never did.You have to try and focus on your own game, but it was hard to because Michael just didnt miss. He didnt let you concentrate whatsoever. Michael van Gerwen produced another inspired performance to take top spot of the Premier League last week Smith earned his maiden point of the Premier League after drawing with Dave Chisnall last week, giving him confidence to take into this weeks match against his mentor Anderson.The reigning champions absence through illness on the opening night forced Smith to play twice and the youngster is cheekily seeking revenge. Wayne Mardle and Rod Harrington debate whether Michael van Gerwen can replace Phil Taylor as the best darts player ever It was a bit hard to play two on my debut, he said. It was hard enough finding my feet in the first game, never mind playing my second. It would have been nice if [Anderson] was there, so I could have asked a few questions and it would have chilled me out a lot more.We are both going up there, both of us to win. We have played four times and its two-all. I wont say anything, because I know hell get me back one day! Ill just go up there to try and get the win.I was scared that I was going to end up with no wins and no points. To finally get the point against Chizzy and that win last week, I can relax and have fun.Watch Premier League Darts on Thursday live on Sky Sports 1 HD at 7pm.
