Hey red any comment on the first disputed line call. When i saw it on tv the shuttle look like landed on the line. I really feel for Kenneth. That just affected his concentration. It was really embarassing for the linesman to be replaced right after the second disputed line call.

Lee Chong Wei. He's great!
The crowd really like him. When I heard his name annouced these couple of days, a buzz goes around the stadium. He got some great applause after finshing the match. The crowd really appreciate him, his skills and the hard work he put in - so unlike another player we talked about recently....;)


Kenneth put up a good fight;)

That was Lee CW after the linecall was called out at the end of the game. Chong Wei doesn't express himself too much on court so I think this pic really means a lot. I think he did the pose for BC:)

i couldn't see whether it's on the line or not. coz i was on the other side of the court.
but do u wanna know the conversation between that umpire and the referee? the referee said to the umpire. sort of "can u see that clearly?" umpire said. "no i wasn't sure. i can't see it very clearly." then the referee point to that line judge for the answer. the line judge just showed him an "in". then the referee ask the umpire the same question again. but the umpire said "i don't want change my decision!" that's what i heard!
so, i m totally neutral in this case!:p but from my understanding of their conversation. i think it's the umpire's fault!

Kenneth was clearly not really trying during the last 2 points. He gave that match away deliberately. He did not even attempt to return the serve by LD.:confused:

the sportsmanship between LCW and CJ was great to see

KJ thought he was 'robbed' of the match - he just lost the plot after that incident, but a great entertaining match nevertheless

i concur!..From the pics i've seen of him, esp. these ones, Chen Jin looks like a humble and down to earth player...Always has a "gracious" smile on him, whether he won or lost..:cool:
red00ecstrat & Cheung, thanks again for all the pics..:cool:

Thanks for all the great pics, Red and Cheung. As always, every one as sharp and clear from you two. Your LD/TH pics and story is also very fun to read. At least this time, no threads/posts are closed and deleted for unnecessary comments from BC members. :p You two must be very tired with all the hard work, but i have to say this,

KEEP THE PICTURES COMING !!! :D :D :D

Look at Chen Jin's smile. So frank, so genuine, truly from the bottom of his heart. Can you imagine that this is the guy who just lost the match by 21:11, 19:21, 22:24 ? He once lead 21:11, 16:10, and also had missed so many match points. But you cannot see any anger or even frustration on his face !

I thought CJ could win HKO, but lost again. :( Maybe he's too nice.

Give CJ some time, a year or two. He's already progressed so much, attaining the # 5 ranking in world. In American Baseball even the best up and coming players aren't expected to perform right away. They are nurtured, groomed for a few years. So patience, grasshopper. :D

i just wanna tell u guys how respectable he is! that's exactly why i'd posted that picture here for!
i wasn't quite sure about his sportsmanship at the thai open. coz chen yu nevertheless is his teammate and buddy. but now, i deeply believe he is a great sportsman!
picture never lie!:)

He's so classy. Winning or not, he's already a champion. Too bad I didn't even think of carrying a camera with me during the last WJC. I missed taking pictures with so many 'to be world/olympic champions'. *sigh*

OK, so the quality isn't so good. Must be the amount of post processing and rotating that's been going on. Anyway, put some more up.

When re-sizing, try to turn OFF "Resample Image" ... otherwise there's interpolation with loss of quality.

err, I didn't understand that. That's a bit technical for me. I do now that every time a pictures has had some alteration, each subsequent image will have deterioration in quality.:p

Used the Canon software to crop first, then used irfan to resize for web and add the words. I used irfan cos I couldn't work out how to do it in Photoshop on a batch function! Me learning software is a slow process.:rolleyes: It was easier to be intuitive on irfan.


yup, that is Tine

well, my friend got it on videao and i saw it too. i both like the two guys so its a pity that the umpire n line judge were not honest enough to say that they were not sure. can't they just call it "let"? no point for anyone?
