Personally, i think M'sia team wasn't doing that bad during the China Master 06 - not to mention they didn't send all the top gun.

Men Single - Hashim lost to Chen Jin (Men Single Champion) - 17 - 21, 17 -21
Men's Doubles - Chew C.Y/Tan B.Seng (a scratch pair) lost to Eriksen/Lunggard (Double Champion) - 20 - 22, 21 - 18, 21 -19丹麦DEN22 18 21 2 邹俊英/陈宾申(Choon Eng CHEW/Bin Shen TAN)马来西亚MAS20 21 19 1

guess MAS could make some upsets in the coming TC ...
