[Ethan]

yup, agree that nova is the weak link.

I remember during the highlights show of WC for malaysia, Rexy ate breakfast with Nova and he was very worried that KKK didn't play MD and Rexy told KKK and WPT about the mental thingy that Nova had and in the end, you all knew what happened.

[madbad]

?!?!...hehe, nope, mine also uses fixed-line service...and it only costs abt $50/mo.(Adelphia) and it's on a cable bandwidth..You can even use a regular DSL connection(slightly slower than cable) and still get a smooth transmission..and it costs abt $30-$40/mo....hehe;):p :D

I think we take it for granteed in N. America that internet connections should be high speed and relatively affordable. I guess that's what the market demands and hence what ISPs have to deliver in order to stay in business. I still do remember, though, when I had to watch how much time I spent on the internet because cost was based on time. Aaaah... those days:D

[sickgal]

the chinese coach is so stress...keep shouting at the players... mm..it will only make the players feel worse... they hv such a great pressures...

[Tjun Tjun]

XD China v Indons (2nd set)
18-20, good defense by the Chinese but eventually won by Indons

[cesc fabrigas]

butet/nova won the match by 21-16 21-18

XD China v Indons (2nd set)
18-21, Indons won!!!!!!!!!

[BaddGolfer]

Liliana was outstanding in that match.

[sickgal]

yeah...congrats to them!! mm..chinese players.. work harder next time!!! =)

[madbad]

Good stuff from Nova/Butet. This means China will win only 3 of the 5 finals. I wonder how this will affect their mental state going into the Asian Games. Bear in mind the limited number of entries per country for the individual events.

[sickgal]

now..its the most anticipating match of the day...for me at least... hope both teams will perform to their best!! all the best!!

[madbad]

Dang, it's almost 2 am PST and Sir Dink has not surfaced. Guess my prediction is (almost) down the drain. :p

..i think the U.S. had the resources to expand, even at that time...add that to its economic position and you can see why....it's different in Indonesia, you know what i mean...:rolleyes: ;)

[Ethan]

WS and WD is guaranteed CHN dominated event in Asian Games. MS is also very much CHN's for the taking. XD is helped by the fact of limited participants per country. MD is probably the only chance other countries can fight for.

[sickgal]

mm..i hope this defeat to the china team wont have great impact to the players..well..i mean...should really focus on the coming Asian Game..what is done is done... analyse the weaknesses and improve their skill!!

[BaddGolfer]

I think he thinks the broadcast is at 2pm Pacific time tomorrow. :D

...the MAS BC/BFers and its contingency already walking in and starting to fill up the forum..hehe;):) :D

[cesc fabrigas]

markis kidho height 165cm but can jump very high

[madbad]

Plus prepare to call 911 for potential heart attack victims :D :D :D :D :D

[madbad]

I think he thinks the broadcast is at 2pm Pacific time tomorrow. :D
hehehe, I'm sure Sir Dink will have something to say about that:p :p

[xiao yun]

yeahh...congratz to nova/natsir....hehee..Luv u..

[cooler]

how come kido and setiawan wear the same shirts (JO, CO, world cup)?

[sickgal]

i thought all the chinese spectators here are no longer interested in this match...rarely hear them giving applause...

[Ethan]

has MD started ?

[BaddGolfer]

has MD started ?

Yes, 8-6 MAS leads.

[madbad]

how come kido and setiawan wear the same shirts (JO, CO, world cup)?
PBSI on a budget :D :D

[cesc fabrigas]

ina pairs lead 12-9

[sickgal]

INA leading by 11 to 9.......

[BaddGolfer]

11-9 INA leading at the break.

[sickgal]

seems like the mars planet coverage is better than earth huh...hehe

[cesc fabrigas]

it 16-16 all now

[ctjcad]

..one thing i noticed, more of an advantage to the INA pair, is Kido's height...I mean, it is a positive advantage, literally playing at that net level, and add that with a pretty good center of gravity....he can literally return all incoming shots with his forehand if he wanted to..and even if he needs to return the shot with his backhand form, he can do so with ease and not much bending..it's a different case with the taller Hendra though..Also, i think Kido plays more consistent(less errors) than Hendra..;)

[Ethan]

MAS pair did a very good job by just being in the final. Just hope that they don't freeze out and give a good fight to the INA pair.

[byelnats]

That's new - never watched that in a game before.
:D

It happened before. Candra Wijaya did that in the Singapore Open 2005 I think. Jung Jae Sung also did that before when he still partnered Lee Jae Jin and played agains Kido/Setiawan in Asian Championship in 2005 I think.

[xiao yun]

I bet Markis/Kido will beat up Lin/Mohd....
Jia You markis/Kido...hehee..:p..:d

[sickgal]

very competitive... aiks... gonna have heart attack if that is to continue..haha

[cesc fabrigas]

ina take first set 21-18

[rhinovinda]

Syabas Kido....!!!

[taufik-ist]

kido boleh banget :)

[ctjcad]

It happened before. Candra Wijaya did that in the Singapore Open 2005 I think. Jung Jae Sung also did that before when he still partnered Lee Jae Jin and played agains Kido/Setiawan in Asian Championship in 2005 I think.
..and don't forget the Tony-meister...as i was quite fortunate to see him did it live couple yrs back in the US Open..;):cool:

[madbad]

very competitive... aiks... gonna have heart attack if that is to continue..haha
hehe, finally, one of my predictions might come true. Hello 911:p :p

[sickgal]

aie..thats a very bad mistake.. stay calm guys...

[Ethan]

so how did the MAS pair performed ? and the INA fast as usual ?

[sickgal]

INA is leadin by 9 to 6..come on m'sian pair...jia you!!

[cesc fabrigas]

kidho/satiawan won the match by 21-18 21-15

[madbad]

Congrats to my favourite MD pair, Markis/Hendra. They have really come into their own this year. I hope PBSI don't screw it up for them.

[ricksakti]

Congratz to Kidho /setiawan... Your are the best. Show your ability in Asian Games. Show them who is the boss.

[xiao yun]

yeahhh...congratz both kido/setiawan...
hehee5...:)...u r excellent...hehee..:p

[sickgal]

wanna ask a Q: why is it all the msgs I'd posted here... those msgs will be sent to my email address...anywhere can I stop it??

[nugroho]

good result... after all.... INA has quite a "comeback" this time without Malay, england and denmark best palyer. they manage too pack two titles....
PBSI would not be worry about the 'MONEY' think again, regarding this tournament

[cesc fabrigas]

hahaha same wif me

[ctjcad]

kidho/satiawan won the match by 21-18 21-15
...man, it was almost like a practice session..:p ..But 1 comment though : that Kido guy really is a hopping-popping-smashing machine..:eek: ;) :p :D :cool: ..esp. when playing at the back, being "hidden" by his taller teammate...And even his smashes are steep as well and he's able to maintain it thruout the match....

1 more comment : I hope both Markis/Hendra don't have the same mindset/attitude like Alven/Luluk had 2 yrs back and hope they can keep working hard and train even harder...IMO, they still have ways to go, but their future is bright and if they put their minds and stay committed, who knows how far they can go as a pair..;) :) :cool:

[taufik-ist]

chandra wijaya, sigit budiarto, tony gunawan might say to markis/hendra, "welcome to the club" :)

[ctjcad]

Congrats to my favourite MD pair, Markis/Hendra. They have really come into their own this year. I hope PBSI don't screw it up for them.
..hmm, must be your "new" fave MD pair..;):)....Nah, i don't think PBSI will make the same mistake again....hope they realize what they have to do now onwards....:rolleyes: :p ;) :cool:

[Malaysianfan]

Fairuz/Lin's speed was much lower than yesterday. Congrats to the Indonesian pair.

[Only CW]

haha, congratulations to indo :D :p
their looks are very funny on ceremony;)

[taufik-ist]

Fairuz/Lin's speed was much lower than yesterday. Congrats to the Indonesian pair.

no, markis/hendra was just faster than mas pair :D

[verinee@yey]

PBSI on a budget :D :D



perhaps b;cos of luck..it's proven that each time they wear the blue shirt they manage to win the match..:D


congrat kido/hendra!!

[byelnats]

Fairuz/Woon Fui is a good pair. They have excellent defense. I think they will go even further than Koo/Chan partnership. Especially Woon Fui, that guy is very agile. Jumping and diving all over the place to retrieve the bird.

Kido/Setiawan have done well this year. Their performance keeps improving. Hope they can maintain it for the future. They are not in Candra, Tony, Sigit, Ricky or Rexy's level yet, but they are on the right track. They are on the right track.

Hopefully now the PBSI will buy them new jerseys :D.

[ssuly]

not bad at all for the indonesians..:cool: I hope they can be great motivators for other countries by proving that the great wall can be CRACKED!:p
both hands down for butet!! Way to go kidooo..:D:D:D

[taufik-ist]

kido gets many kudos

its sound a match and good :)

[DinkAlot]

WYH beat XXF

21 - 18 , 21 - 19

Wow! Congrats to both. When was the last time someone other than ZN and XXF won the tourney when both played? Gotta be at least one year.

[DinkAlot]

cmon... chen yu... your skill is above lindan :)

Errrrr...I don't think so. :p

[DinkAlot]

..only person who will not be surprised by that is our own loveable Panda Bear, Mr. DinkAlot...hehehe;) :p :) :D :cool:

Ahhhh, broken rackets are a common thing, nothing to worry about or see here. :p

[cao ci dan]

congrats to Kido/Hendra and Lin/Fairuz....from preventing chinese vs chinese finla!!hehe...

[badMania]

I didn't watch the matches because of work committment, but, congrats to Nova Widianto/Lilyana Natsir and Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan on their victories today.

As long as Nova is not making too many mistakes, this pair should be the favorite for gold medal in Doha.

For Kido/Hendra, I hope they maintain their consistency and perform their best in Doha. They should be in contention for the medals.

[DinkAlot]

..hmm, i don't think Mr. DinkAlot was watching that, as he's probably still playing baddie....If he was/is watching, he would already do the scoreboard updates for us all(as he did yesterday)..hehe;):) :cool:
However, i have a feeling, he will crash in pretty soon(if not later)..;):D

Sorry I'm late crashing the party, I just got back from playing Bad with Mona and company. :D

[setoet]

anyone know the prizes money fr winners?

[DinkAlot]

I predict Sir Dink to crash the party at approx 2 am PST :D :D

Close, make it ~3:30am PST. :p Mona ran us hard, we're all sore and/or cramping. :eek:

Too bad I couldn't make it for the Finals, priorities are priorites. :p

[DinkAlot]

Dang, it's almost 2 am PST and Sir Dink has not surfaced. Guess my prediction is (almost) down the drain. :p

LOL! It's so funny (sometimes) reading these posts after the fact. :p

[kokcheng]

no, markis/hendra was just faster than mas pair :DTrue and sharper.They just couldn't handle the power-packed,Kido.Well time to go back and train harder.

[Baderz_Jas]

Lin Dan won!!! well done!!! :D :p ;) :)

[Baderz_Jas]

well done to WYH! ;) now she's beaten ZN and XXF :eek: :D

[Baderz_Jas]

:D :D :D CONGRATULATIONS LIN DAN AGAIN FOR HIS 7TH TITLES THIS YEAR!!:D :D :D




:crying: :crying: but Chen Yu lost...sigh!:(

really?! :eek: :D :D :D that's amazing, he's amazing! :D ;) :p he can still win 1 or 2 more if he plays well this year... :D :p ;) :) unlucky to CY as well :o :crying: :D

[hcpoirot]

Chen Yu is a very solid player but somehow is never given the opportunity to play important rule for Team China, my guess is he's just not the fovaurite of coach Li. Don't be surprise if Chen Yu beat Lin Dan as Lin Dan usually doesn't play that well against his own team mate.

Chen Yu is good, but probably his situation is like Zhang Ning in WS. Too many competition.

Chen Yu is the same generation as Chen Hong. But at that time China had Sun Jun, Dong Jiong, Chen Hong and then CY. After SJ and DJ retired, suddenly come the talented Xia Xuan Ze and a suprise Olympic gold medal Jie Xin Peng. After JXP retired early, suddenly come Lin Dan and Bao Chunlai. And then Chen Jin.

Chen Yu probably improved with time and experience and very suited for 21 scoring. But if he wanted to be LYB first choice, he had started to win against non China players.

Although he won against LCW twice, but he still lost to Taufik, Peter Gade and Boonsak this year.

If only he played at other country than China, he will probably be the first choice and not the fifth choice. :(

Can he patient enough as Zhang Ning to wait his chance to shine? Remember that ZN play China national team since she was 16 or 17 and had to wait about 10 years to be LYB first choice.

[Simp84]

Chen Yu definatly has the best crosscourt net shots in the circuit!!!! I love how this guy exploit the 4 corners of the court to screw up his opponents haha:)

[Blurry D]

is there a video for the finals for MD ???
