All England Quarterfinal (Day 3)

[jaclyn]

Is all OVER..

LCW won
9-15,17-14,15-2
MALAYSIA BOLEH
lets cheer on TV1 at 8.40pm Sat for LCW vs LIN DAN ~~~

scream in front of tv!!!
then i will KENA scold from my mum again :(

[thiery]

mas leading 9-7. this is amazing!

[ronk]

Not sure any player can beat the Chinese 2 in a row? Lin Dan will be hard to beat especially with his attacking power ... I will leave that worry to Li Mao.
Lee Chong Wei Boleh, Li Mao Boleh, Yap Boleh and Malaysia Boleh!!!


If I remember correctly, LCW beat BCL followed by LD to win the Malaysian open in 2005. He also won both matches in 3 games. Of course that was in Malaysia so he had the home crowd support, but it seems that LCW may have broken out of the can-win-only-in-Malaysia mindset.

[madbad]

INA catching up again 8-9 2nd serve

[ye333]

Lin Dan will be well-rested tomorrow when facing Lee Choongwei. Reminds me of the WC final, when Taufik had a good rest while Lin Dan suffered a tough 3-setter. I think
Lin Dan 60: 40 Choongwei

Not sure any player can beat the Chinese 2 in a row? Lin Dan will be hard to beat especially with his attacking power ... I will leave that worry to Li Mao.

To beat Chen Hong at the AE, where he has made it his own recently, is no mean feat. It shows he has learned well from Li Mao and has developed mental strength (coming back from 11-14 in the 2nd set)

[daretolive]

the MAS doubles department is working wonders in the AE 06. do you think the credit should go to Rexy?

[madbad]

Nip and tuck INA 10-10 MAS, MAS serving

Absolutely. He has instilled his vast knowledge in his young charges and the results bear it.

[Han]

I am more worry about the style LCW vs Lin Dan. To neutralize Lin Dan power, you have to do like Taufik, attacking Lin Dan. It's easy for Taufik as he does have very good smash but not LCW. LCW has good stamina and speed but lack of power. Anyway, I will stay infront of my monitor and scream along with all the Malaysians, we shall win together.

[madbad]

13-10 MAS, second serve

you reckon LCW has no power. I remember reading somewhere LCW smash was timed at 331kph. that's 1kph below fuhaifeng's world record. however, i am not sure if LCW can continuously produce smashes at that speed.

Hallo Sugeo (Sugin?)

Yea, me too... i still have some money in their account... But i guess it was my own fault as well.... on the first page of 247 it was already written that 247 will only show the matches until 19.1.06...

As for GDTV, it didnt show the match between LCW and CH coz it was quite late already... in China it was 6am and i think GDTV needs to broadcast some news too... Schade... Schade...

Indonesia should hire Rexy back...

[willie]

Rexy should get BIG angpau.

[KourKK]

haha.. this was worth getting up for! cant wait for the semi-finals tonight (12 hours from now, 8.30pm, CH22 (supersport) on Starhub Cable for those in Singapore, CH80 on Astro (supersport) for those in Malaysia)


ok.. goodnight guys..

[thiery]

PBSI shall conduct a post mortem now...

BAM shall set their goals on Thomas Cup.

[jaclyn]

Rexy should get BIG angpau.

not only him!the other also!
may be the other player hungey for a big ang pau money!!
BUT rext should get the BIGGEST wan

[jeyel]

YES!!!:D Malaysia finally to win the doubles title? I hope so! Go for it you guys!!!!

BTW- anyone know whether our local M'sian tv/Astro is showing the semis?

[sugeo]

Hope this pair goes on to beat the Danes... and Malaysia take the doubles crown without lifting a shuttle in the final! That would be total domination...

[other]

BAM shall set their goals on Thomas Cup.

indeed with such strong doubles and LCW they have a good chance of getting the 3 required points :cool:

can't wait for the TC UC :D

[daretolive]

first time i think we have that many pairs in the semis for all england.
but the job is not done yet, malaysians in general always come close to winning..but never won. hopefully this time things will change.

[ronk]

What? Three Malaysian pairs in the MD. This is a first and Malaysia is finally producing top mens doubles after a long absence.

[jeyel]

first time i think we have that many pairs in the semis for all england.

Yeah I hope they can do it this time...I fear that they may dissappoint us again at the final hurdle...(Choong and Lee were soooo close the last time)

haha.. this was worth getting up for! cant wait for the semi-finals tonight (12 hours from now, 8.30pm, CH22 (supersport) on Starhub Cable for those in Singapore, CH80 on Astro (supersport) for those in Malaysia)


ok.. goodnight guys..

Are you sure CH80 on Astro Supersport (Malaysia) will be showing the matches? I checked Astro website there are no listing of any badminton matches.

[willie]

I root for LWW & CTF for their misfortune in 2004.

[coops241180]

it is great to see malaysia return to the top of men's doubles - let's hope all these pairs can maintain their form. they have youth on their side.. the danes will not be so easily defeated tho, in my opinion to still be near the top of the world ranking at the age of 35 shows an amazing level or mental strength, fitness, some fortitude, intelligence, flexibility, both physically, mentally and strategically. They danes don't go down easy, and while they've been beaten by some of the top pairs over the last 12 months, they've consistently reached semi's and finals and won some as well.. the last four is their domain. it would be great to see the danes take a title for europe.

PG also will be riding high with his defeat of the young chinese apprentice, and also pleased to see that he has a relatively easy semi as opposed to lin dan or LCW who have to try to beat each other to get a chance at the final.. and that could be the telling factor now. both LCW and LD will be tired for the final.

In the XD Nathan and Gail overcome what i believe is their hardest hurdle - they have had few matches over the chinese pair and it showed. Nathan looked positively weary in some of the longer rally's and bored in the middle game. he needs pressure to fire him up - unfortunately pressure is exactly what gail doesn't need. however they made it and now face the indo pair in the semi - I know they can do it and hopefull past matches against the indo pair will serve them well and make it an easier match, certainly Lillyana isn't the same sort of force that Zhang Yawen is, altho she is tailored to XD , we will see.. tomorrow is another day..

i hope that Europe can triumph and take 3 of the 5 disciplines for a change.

some day a WS or WD pair that can challenge the chinese might appear. but it doesn't appear to be forthcoming. even Gail and Donna are no match..

Coops

[jaclyn]

i hope they win the tittle
both of them(choong-lee)make us dissapointed
but i think luck may be will on ourside
ermm
i check the astro website too
may be they will show suddenly!!!(everytime like dat) :D

[Han]

TV1 will show Sat 8:30pm


Are you sure CH80 on Astro Supersport (Malaysia) will be showing the matches? I checked Astro website there are no listing of any badminton matches.

[jeyel]

The Eriksen and Lunggaard pairing look like a hard nut to crack. They haven't been taken to 3 sets so far.

[jeyel]

How would you guys rate LCW's chances against Lin Dan? 50-50? (From the scorelines though it looks like Lin is in pretty hot form)

[Han]

I think the chances should be 40:60, Lee Chong Wei underdog.

[ye333]

Agree. mentally, Chongwei is not as quick as Lin Dan. Lin Dan is very
clever and will explore every weakness of his opponents.

I think the chances should be 40:60, Lee Chong Wei underdog.

[Simp84]

I think the chances should be 40:60, Lee Chong Wei underdog.
lol dont bet too much!
just downloaded some AE videos and the fans are wild lol
Even shouted during the game play haha I think thats how all the double juniors made it to semis ahhaha

[kokcheng]

Love u Yap for bringing the best ,like limao and rexy.Incdredible performance by lcw,lww/ctf,lin/tazari and gan/zakry.Congrats to LiMao and Rexy.Both of you have shown the world your true professionalism.The most important aspect is that the Malaysians players are becoming fierce fighters and their mental srength is simply AVESOME.The EVERGREEN pair has done it again.I hope they will take the title this year.They gave one to the Danes in 2003 when they were leading comfortably.No more nonsense from now onwards.Remember 1992 we were the champion of the world.Its payback time in Tokyo,2006.:) :) :)

[jeyel]

Maybe it looks likely to be a Lin Dan-Peter Gade final, but it would be more fun to see LCW play PG for the title!;)

[alloh]

If I remember correctly, LCW beat BCL followed by LD to win the Malaysian open in 2005. He also won both matches in 3 games. Of course that was in Malaysia so he had the home crowd support, but it seems that LCW may have broken out of the can-win-only-in-Malaysia mindset.

And beat Taufik as well in 15-6, 15-0 :D :D :D

im quite sure that astro will be showing it on CH80 (supersport) though, since singapore is showing it on the same channel, there is no way that they have different telecasts for the same channel in two countries.. this is just probably malaysian inefficiencies on updating websites...
