Korea Open 2007 - Day 2 (R32)

[Inky2000]

If you consider Hafiz manage to win in a 3-setter an upset, then this is the 6th upset by MAS of the day.

Well, just hope that those MAS high-hopees won't create upsets ... by losing their games!

[wynn000]

hahahah so funny don knoe why congrats to Hafiz

[spchu]

Good day for Malaysians

Some nice surprises. here May we continue to do well, So I have more reason to be glued to ASTRO when it carries live broadcast this coming weekend.

[MaLiq]

Cuz This Time, Hafiz Didnt Disappoint!!
He Got His Revenge!!!

[Speed & Power]

Wow this is the rise of the Malaysians?? Maybe? I think malaysia might have at least 2 reps in the semis

[wynn000]

[lipans]

hahahah so funny don knoe why congrats to Hafiz

bcos he beat CH. We thought the result will be the same as MO. Won the first set and lost the other 2.

[madbad]

Wow this is the rise of the Malaysians?? Maybe? I think malaysia might have at least 2 reps in the semis

Early days yet, MAS players are known to disappoint after their highs

[Inky2000]

not reli... after losing the first game to Boonsak, he two the next 2 sets so easily... 21-single digit 21-single digit

20-22, 21-11, 21-7

[alfa2]

Thanks to all the bashing, i guessed he checked out BC forum at his PDA during the toilet break and read them all, its the anger that motivates Hafiz to strike back in the 3rd game to prove us wrong, that he is indeed leng chai.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[lipans]

No exciting game anymore?

[tjl_vanguard]

chen jin just like playing wit kids now

[lipans]

He is a kid himself

[homelessman]

NO CH lost how can this be..

[alfa2]

funny....when we gave them our full support > lose, but if we bashed them, they starting to win? mayb we should start bashing KBH, LWW/CTF too....:D:D:D:D

but do they have a PDA?:p

[tjl_vanguard]

chong wei - boonsak??

[jbchiong]

I will make a prediction.

XXF will lose to HHY. Wanna bet anyone?

[tbleong]

THis is the Malaysian revenge to CH. it was a close game, i hope Hashim can maintain the seminal..

[tjl_vanguard]

funny....when we gave them our full support > lose, but if we bashed them, they starting to win? mayb we should start bashing KBH, LWW/CTF too....:D:D:D:D

but do they have a PDA?:p
okok... lets bash chong wei when he goes up against LD in finals.... if he ever does... haha

[kwun]

THis is the Malaysian revenge to CH. it was a close game, i hope Hashim can maintain the seminal..

btw, that was the last match of CH professional badminton career. i want to wish him luck in his "retirement"...

[tbleong]

Ww! Both Brothers Roslin and Hashim was give a good result in KO. dunt know whether they can enter to QF?

[tjl_vanguard]

maybe they are just lucky...
i prefer them to be lucky all da way ahhaahhaa

[MaLiq]

funny....when we gave them our full support > lose, but if we bashed them, they starting to win? mayb we should start bashing KBH, LWW/CTF too....:D:D:D:D

but do they have a PDA?:p

haha..gud one..:) :)

[lipans]

Hashim is Roslin's father.

[X Ball]

btw, that was the last match of CH professional badminton career. i want to wish him luck in his "retirement"...


Hear Hear ! My sentiments too : wishing him luck. This is a great guy who played some great badminton in his time. All the best to him !

[alfa2]

okok... lets bash chong wei when he goes up against LD in finals.... if he ever does... haha

I don't bout anybody else, but im starting to lose confidence in LCW, he's world number 2 but hasnt been up to it since some time ago. Wat im trying to say tat is we Msians love him alot and we've been expecting things to happen for quite some time already....:(:(:(:(

So....should we start bashing him this time? Mayb it'll work? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D feels bad coz i noe him quite well....

[tbleong]

WOW!!ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ　ｓｕｒｐｒｉｓｅ，　ＬＴＳwas playing exstremly good to beat LHI stright set..

[X Ball]

It looks like our guys have woken up from their slumber. Isn't it TIME ?!

[azabaz_ipoh]

ha ha ha. yes that is his father and by golly if he is good enough to play for malaysia at that age, malaysia sure have a bright bright future. he he.

[Jessica]

Another upset may be created,the korean player win over XXF in the first set by 21-18

[tbleong]

opps!! sorry, It was Hafiz and Roslin! thanks for reminding


Hashim is Roslin's father.

[alfa2]

ha ha ha. yes that is his father and by golly if he is good enough to play for malaysia at that age, malaysia sure have a bright bright future. he he.

Mayb Li Mao will b playing for us too?:p

[**KZ**]

LCW up against boonsak now....c'mon LCW...now that the pressure of being unbeaten in M'sia is off.....let's c wat he can do

[spchu]

Lee Chong Wei up next. Shouldnt be a problem right? Or do we need to start bashing him?

[lipans]

another Lee will play this time. LEE CHONG WEI!!! GO GO!

[kwun]

btw guys. let's keep all the discussions in English, proper English and no short hands. also keep all the discussions of the day's matches in one single thread.

cheers.

[cao ci dan]

OoOO...:o Xie lost the 1st game!
:) but she's leading 9-2 now!

[MaLiq]

the match between LCW n boonsak has begun..
the score is now 6-3 in LCW's favour..
if ever LCW is trailing, lets give him some bashing medicine...then he'll definitely wake up...hehe

GO LCW!!!prove to us that ur a still a top class player

[ignatio103]

btw, that was the last match of CH professional badminton career. i want to wish him luck in his "retirement"...
Man...this guy has bring a lot of excitement to d game...Time sure flies .
He belong`s to bad`ton hall of fame.....I still remember queing to watch
zhou jianhua n yang yang.....in kl. Then the great m`sia thomas cup in `92.
Now is chen hong.....i still believe he is in top 5 for 2007. :crying:
Probably age n d new score format is too much to handle.Don forget d china
B.A. is real stumbling block of having so many top n upcoming players.Geez.!

[yingcheng]

I will make a prediction.

XXF will lose to HHY. Wanna bet anyone?

i bet XXF will win the 2nd & 3rd set.

add oil XXF!!!

[tbleong]

LCW 8 - 7PB very close game

[X Ball]

Is the LIve Score working ? Mine is not

[markchan]

I don't bout anybody else, but im starting to lose confidence in LCW, he's world number 2 but hasnt been up to it since some time ago. Wat im trying to say tat is we Msians love him alot and we've been expecting things to happen for quite some time already....:(:(:(:(

So....should we start bashing him this time? Mayb it'll work? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D feels bad coz i noe him quite well....


Hmmm....yeah, seems like LCW's performances is dipping.....maybe a young man with some $$ has other distractions now.....hope he pulls up his socks and win something soon...

[spchu]

11-10. World No 2 shouldnt have such teething problem. Let the Chong Wei bashing begin. Are we really sure he's world no 2?

[spchu]

Oh no 13-10 now, what happenned to world No.2?

[alfa2]

the match between LCW n boonsak has begun..
the score is now 6-3 in LCW's favour..
if ever LCW is trailing, lets give him some bashing medicine...then he'll definitely wake up...hehe

GO LCW!!!prove to us that ur a still a top class player

yeah anyone there could prescribe some good bashing medicine from the pharmaist asap for our beloved LCW? Sadly ill wont be here to offer any, im going to watch Blood Diamond....and leaving any time soon.:p

[markchan]

Seems to me he is on a downward slide in form at the moment. MO winner for 3 yrs a row but was knocked out in QF. Now he is behind PB, someone whom he has not lost to before....better buck up LCW !!!! Prove me wrong !!!!

[cao ci dan]

Lee 17-17 Boonsak now!
who's gonna win?

[lipans]

Lcw 17 - Bp 16.

[lipans]

BP won 21-18.....

[alfa2]

to support is to bash !!!! c'mon everybody, let's do it !!! we can do it all day long !!! I'll be the 1st one, LCW, stop playing like a sissy gal.....at least make Li Mao smile for once.....:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[wynn000]

haiz....... LCW lost the 1 set!!

[spchu]

First set lost... Could this be the upset of the day?

[cao ci dan]

Boonsak won the 1st game 21-18!
1-1 now...C'mon Boonsak!!

[X Ball]

LCW is playing ****....he might be taking the flight home tonight if he continues in this vein.

[alfa2]

c'mon everyone, dont be shy....BASHING !!! it's the healthy way to support, when our guy is not up to expectations.....

[tbleong]

LCW lose 1st game

[lipans]

Another upset from Malaysia?

[tbleong]

LCW Win win win win win win win win win win win win, am i enough support??

[markchan]

Yup, this will be nthe next upset if LCW does not buck up....world #2 losses in 1st round.

[X Ball]

Now we are talking---LCW is getting his arse kicked from the side by Li Mao.

[tbleong]

sorry to said, i think LCW will going to lose this game, since the score gap was far right now.. althought i wish him to win. but, its really disapoited. luckly LTS,Hafiz,Roslin still in the competation...

[spchu]

Leading 9-6, but Chong Wei's smashes used to be one that we can be proud of, has he lost his touch?

[lipans]

9-8 maa... he is ok what.

[markchan]

If LCW wins the second game, then I believe he has a 80% chance to win the match.

[sandy_bkk]

common boonsak u have to win.IMPROVE UR RANKING

[spchu]

Trailing 11-9. Man, we need to bash him more.

[X Ball]

LCW goes into nervous spasm again....just when he is leading.

[lipans]

Time for Li Mao kick LCW arsss..

[alfa2]

9-8 maa... he is ok what.

ok maa....i belif is not enough ma lipan. as he is the ass-kicking world number 2 who's getting his ass kicked right now.

[cao ci dan]

Boonsak gets some advice from Bao maybe??
Boonsak 12-10 Lee

[**KZ**]

he took a good lead in the 1st but wasted it and now is struggling to win the 2nd game...

[X Ball]

Boonsak is playing well....LCW needs to count on his lucky stars now.

[X Ball]

Point for point ....what the f....!

[MaLiq]

to support is to bash !!!! c'mon everybody, let's do it !!! we can do it all day long !!! I'll be the 1st one, LCW, stop playing like a sissy gal.....at least make Li Mao smile for once.....:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

OMG chong wei...dont create an upset by LOSING!!!get your act back together!!!!your the world no. 2 for crying out loud!!!!!:mad: :mad:
you havent lost to boonsak before and i dont think you should ever start now

all your other compatriots have won an uphill battle!!!
please dont disappoint!!
BUCK UP!!!

[X Ball]

LCW likes to live dangerously these days !

[tbleong]

i dare not see the score already

[madbad]

LCW has taken the 2nd game 21-15
And Sato is victorious over Smith in 3 close ones.

[X Ball]

He is going to lose a lot of games taking such a long time to get going !

[markchan]

This SSeries is good.....seems to be serving surprise after surprise. Bodes well for the game, no one can claim to be undisputed no 1, not even LD...

[markchan]

LCW to win...my prediction..i believe his stamina is better than PB..

[yingcheng]

hey...wot happened to LCW??
add oil ah!!!!

fully support u!!

[X Ball]

I expect him to now to mow Boonsak down. Li Mao would have given him an earful!

[tbleong]

finally, LCWｗｏｎ　２ｎｄ　ｓｅｔ，　ｔｈｅ　３ｒｄ　ｓｅｔ　ｐｌｓ　ｐｌａｙ　ｎｉｃｅｌｙ，ｉ　ｇｏｔ　 ｈｅａｒｔ　ａｔｔａｃｔ！！ｔａｋｅ　ｍｅｄｉｃｉａｎ　１ｓｔ／

[X Ball]

Boonsak is gone --- like Thaksin!

[spchu]

Our bashing works- let's continue so he can win the 3rd set too. Very dissapointing to see him not play his best.

On another note, our men singles really need some new blood like KKK & TBH.

[hcyong]

Fu/Cai v Sakamoto/Ikeda. I saw this Japanese pair last week in KL. Not a bad pair. I think they will give Fu/Cai some problems.

[X Ball]

Ran out of steam for Boonsak ?

[X Ball]

Nervous spasm again for LCW

[X Ball]

LCW lives very dangerously

[X Ball]

8-4, getting going again....his motor keeps stalling now and then.

[alfa2]

Our bashing works- let's continue so he can win the 3rd set too. Very dissapointing to see him not play his best.

On another note, our men singles really need some new blood like KKK & TBH.

yeah it is working!!! Li Mao showed him BC forum juz now during toilet break as Li Mao doesnt know how to read english....:eek:

[X Ball]

Li Mao must be very angry at the way LCW gives points away to Boonsak today -- score now 8-7 in favor of LCW

[X Ball]

Li Mao (good manners) was that during the break....he was the antithesis to LCW --- bashing LCW

[alfa2]

7-8 BP the gap is so close yet again....LCW can u feel something is up your ass already? Hmmmm..... smells like Li Mao's foot.

[wynn000]

i don think LCW can beat ChenJin if he can go to quater final

[X Ball]

Score 9-9 !!!!!!

[X Ball]

LCW calling on his reserves....is there petrol left ?

[X Ball]

Score 11-9 in favor of LCW
---- phew

[lxwong]

Looks like LCW is gonna lose.

[kimpe_bultang]

Aaah.. LCW-PB, playing 3rd set now... Grrr... So annoying!! China's Fu/Cai losing, 5-9!! Nooo!! INA WD is quite good!

[hcyong]

Boonsak is a very good player, capable of upsetting the highest echelon of badminton. Of course, thus far, LCW has been winning their encounters, but it won't be a terrible shock to me if the table is turned this time.

[X Ball]

Get the guns out in case he loses LOL

[alfa2]

Yes bashing is working!!! LCW pulls off BP 11-9, taking a 2 points lead.....LCW you better do if not Li Mao is coming after ur arse with his Tien Chan Kiok....

[X Ball]

Ah... our boy is now moving his legs 12-9

[cao ci dan]

:DC'MON FU/CAI!!!! GO GO GO!!!:D

[spchu]

12-12 now LCW really lost his touch
Dont think he can go far in this tournament even if he win this one.

[alfa2]

LCW you are just pure hopeless.....

[abedeng]

Careful, he heard you. Now LCW's back up 17-12.

[X Ball]

Energy sapping game for LCW

[kimpe_bultang]

How do you know that he's bashing?? You mean you're watching in the TV?? What channel????


Yes bashing is working!!! LCW pulls off BP 11-9, taking a 2 points lead.....LCW you better do if not Li Mao is coming after ur arse with his Tien Chan Kiok....

[jbchiong]

Now LCW is pulling away 19-13

[abedeng]

JAP MD pair is pretty good, still leading 19-18. LCW is 2-pts away.

[X Ball]

We can almost write LCW off for this tournament with this consumption of energy. Good one for Boonsak to take LCW on so well.

[abedeng]

Deuce for Fu/Cai and Jap pair, LCW at matchpoint.

[jbchiong]

LCW will win this one.

[MaLiq]

LCW calling on his reserves....is there petrol left ?

petrol price too high i think....thats why he could afford only a little bit...hehe...

omg, we cannot praise our badminton players la i think, cuz if they get complimented on something, theyll surely screw up...

the only thing that works on them is bashing and bashing..

[abedeng]

Fu/Cai just nick it at the end. Tough luck for Japs. LCW wins 21-13.

[jbchiong]

Too bad for the Japs they lost the 1st game.

[markchan]

OK, LCW wins......for now.

[X Ball]

Overall a good day for Malaysian players even though LCW should have done better.

[Jessica]

Finally,LCW win over boonsak in the rubber game.Actually,it is not strange that LCW struggle to beat boonsak coz he is also a very good player.So,we no need to be strange that he is forced to play in rubber game.Anyway,he is still a level upon boonsak.Congrat and keep fighting.

[Malaysianfan]

I think LCW is having a sliding form right now. He isnt consistent enough in his game and tends to make lots of errors.

[abedeng]

Ikeda/Sakamoto out of tricks, Chinese World Champs pull away.

[abedeng]

Maybe not, Japs come back and are two points behind. 8-10.

[hcyong]

We can almost write LCW off for this tournament with this consumption of energy. Good one for Boonsak to take LCW on so well.

Tomorrow is another day.

[kimpe_bultang]

Yaaay!! Tony/Candra playing now!!! Aaah, so excited... =P Go Ko Candra... Don't be so down!!! JIA YOU!!! Semangaaat!!

[abedeng]

Huh, the match of the afternoon, Tony/Candra against Paaske/Rasmussen about to start.

[tbleong]

ｉ　ｗｉｌｌ　ｓｉｄｅ　ｔｈｅ　ｄｅｎｍａｒｋ　ｐａｉｒ！！

[abedeng]

INA/US pair respond, 4-5, only for Danes to bridge the gap back to 2, 6-4.

[markchan]

..and next up will be CCM/HTH vs an unknown korean pair. Hope they will prevail and make it a good day for MAS badminton.

[spchu]

I shall be in the Asian boat- so go Chandra and Tony...

[abedeng]

Tony/Candra levels, but Paaske/Rasmussen are back up, 7-6.

[abedeng]

Again Tony/Candra level the scoreline, 7-7. And again Lars/Jonas forge ahead, 9-7.

[abedeng]

Quite a fast paced game, Lars/Jonas close to tea break, 10-8.

[abedeng]

Tea break time, 11-8 for Danes.

[Dreamzz]

wow, i'd never thought i'd get to say this, but what an amazing day for MAS MS!
sure, LCW had a scare against BP, but the rest of them did really well, except for KBH of course, i have no idea why he's still in the team.

Roslin bt KJ, YKB bt Kasper, LTS beat LHI :eek: and Hafiz beat CH :eek: :eek: !!
Syabas!!!

[tbleong]

ｂｒｅａｋ　ｎｏｗ　ａｔ　ｐａｓｓｋｅｒ１１－９　

[abedeng]

Another smash, and Danes increase their lead to 4, 13-9. But INA-US respond, with 2 quick pts, 11-13. Danes regain momentum, 14-11.

[abedeng]

Hold it, say Candra/Tony, 13-14. But the Danish pair are not listening, 16-13 before Candra/Tony stop the rot, 14-16.

[abedeng]

Danes are playing smarter, 2 quick points for 18-14 before Candra/Tony regain serve, 15-18.

hahaha, my expectations are very low, which i why i'm delighted, but i don't really expect them to go very far from here.
besides, i'm more interested in MD anyways ...

[abedeng]

Rasmussen/Paaske start 2nd game on positive note, 3-0.

[abedeng]

Tony/Candra regain serve and take a bite off the lead, 2-3.

[abedeng]

Point for point tussle sees Danes 4-3 up, but with service to Candra/Tony.

[abedeng]

Danish pair seems hungrier today, now at 7-3

[**KZ**]

i think JR/LP will win.....not the best start of the season for tony/chandra.....too early to say though

[abedeng]

Tony/Candra claw back to 5-7.

[abedeng]

Danish pair still in the lead, 8-6. Chan/Hoon about to start their match against Korean pair.

[abedeng]

It is now, 7-10, Danes lead.

[abedeng]

Paaske/Rasmussen complete their homework, 11-7, submitting to coaches now.

[abedeng]

Chan/Hoon start their own game, 2-1 up.

[abedeng]

But it is Tony/Candra who receive new instructions, 10-11 down. But Danes regain initiative, 12-10.

Chan/Hoon are down 2-6.

[abedeng]

Make that 3-7, while Danes battle it out with Tony/Candra, 13-12.

[abedeng]

Chan/Hoon move within 3 pts, Tony/Candra are down 3 pts.

[abedeng]

But now Tony/Candra level the score, 15-15. Chan/Hoon want to do the same, 7-8 down.

[abedeng]

INA/US pair forge ahead for the 1st time in the match, 17-15. KOR pair reach break point, 10-7.

[abedeng]

Amazing, a 7 point run sees INA/US pair at 19-15. Rubber set imminent. Now gamepoint, 20-16.

[abedeng]

Chan/Hoon need to attend pep talk, 7-11 behind. Danes won't give up, 17-20.

[abedeng]

Tony/Candra convert on 2nd gamepoint, 21-17. Pep talk not working for Chan/Hoon, 7-13 down.

[abedeng]

Make that 8-15 down.

[abedeng]

3rd game starts with INA/US pair leading 2-1.

[kimpe_bultang]

Yes!! Joko/Hendra, and Candra/Tony are playing their 3rd set!! Goo all of you!!!

[abedeng]

Tony/Candra extend advantage to 5-3. Hoon/Chan about to concede, 9-17.

[abedeng]

Cute JAP girls are on court against Wong/Chin. Cute girls start as favourites for this tie despite not being seeded.

[abedeng]

Tony/Candra 4 pts up. Closing in on coffee break.

[abedeng]

Joko/Hendra takes the game against Chinese pair. Coffee break for Tony/Candra with 4 pts advantage.

Critical point arrives with Candra/Tony still in the lead, 15-12.

[abedeng]

Chan/Hoon matching KOR pair pt for pt, 4-3.

Wong/Chin does the same against cute JAP girls, 2-2.

[abedeng]

Tony/Candra regain 4 pts advantage, 17-13. Wong/Chin behind by 3, 2-5.

[abedeng]

Chan/Hoon still touch and go, 8-7 up.

Wong/Chin staying in touch, 6-8.

[abedeng]

Level game for Wong/Chin and Chan/Hoon, 9-9.

[badMania]

Phew...Tony Gunawan/Candra Wijaya made it to the second round, despite trailing to Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen in the second set.

Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi are also through after beating Shen Ye/He Hanbin in 3 sets 19-21, 21-16, 21-13. They will face the World Champion Fu Haifeng/Cai Yun tomorrow.

[abedeng]

Chan/Hoon take tuition class at 11-9 up.

[abedeng]

Time for Wong/Chin to learn their lesson, 9-11 down. Chan/Hoon's tuition seem to be working, 13-10.

[abedeng]

Oopss, Koreans level score, 14-14. Wong/Chin still 3 pts back, 10-13.

[abedeng]

Koreans pull away from Chan/Hoon, 16-14, but Wong/Chin creep closer to cute Japs, 12-13.

[abedeng]

JJS/LYD given a good fight by HK pair, 9-7 up.

[abedeng]

Both MAS pairs are 3 pts down.

[Jessica]

Its seem that CCM/HTH is still not the best combination compared to KKK/TBH...They are in trouble now although they are facing the new young guns of korea.

[abedeng]

Cute Japs are breaking MAS hearts, 17-13. Han/Cho about to beat Chan/Hoon, 19-16.

[abedeng]

KKK/TBH goin2 play!!

[badMania]

Wow...a thrilling finale to the match between Greysia Polii/Vita Marissa and Joanne Nicholas/Natalie Munt. The Indonesian pair finally takes it 23-21 in the rubber, despite trailing 16-19 and saved a match point at 20-21. They will take on Aki Akao/Tomomi Matsuda tomorrow in a winnable tie, after the Jap pair beat Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg in straight sets.

[X Ball]

Spitko and Fuchs didn't expect a tornado to hit them when they entered court ---- go KKK/TBH

[X Ball]

haiz don knoe what happen to Lin/fairuz

They are playing it all wrong. Their mid-court game is not up to scratch and their smashes are not killers. They are pushed to lob the shuttle often and the tall Europeans kill them easily with their power smashes.

They need to develop power smashes (e.g. go the gym for some upper body works). They seem small in size (very short) - short may not be bad, if you are like Boon Bee who was short but was a powerful smasher and he had a taller partner in Yee Khan.

Can't say their fortunes will change in the foreseeable future.

[X Ball]

I like the way Roslin is playing, especially beating Kenneth. Of all the Malaysian singles players, he looks the most likely to advance. He seems to have rebuilt his game --- more attack in his game.

LCW is not impressive at all --- lost his sharpness. Yeoh Kay Bin looks like he has raised his standard this year (hopefully, he will do more that just make the numbers). Hafiz must be thinking hard about his game - he must want that zest that won him the All-England back (step out of it Hafiz, get the butt going).

KBH will remain the 'fodder meat' used for practice - he is not going anywhere fast at the way he plays. Although he runs a lot (plenty of energy. there is not much strategy in his game, very much reacting than setting the pace for his opponent).

[alfa2]

I was so sorry tat im not around to bash in order to support our MD......less bashing less smashing i guess....or less bashing and get more smashing??? Fairuz/LWF are just plain suffering for the supporters.....so we should bash them as early as we could from now on. It's the super series style !!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[ctjcad]

:) ..hehe, looks like our M'sian BC friends have dominated this thread(as well as the R32 day of competitions)..:D;)
..wow, i noticed there were quite a few upsets happened in R32 day:p :rolleyes: ...And a lot of exciting matches as well:cool: ...Tomorrow's matches should be just as entertaining if not even more riveting as the R32 day..And let's hope for another thrilling & exciting last 3 days of competitions just like the recent MO..:D :cool:
*Btw, thanks to all the M'sian BC fans who've brought us the play by play and scores of the matches..;) :cool:

[OneToughBirdie]

he will when he is ready to leave Misbun as his coach.....I can coach better :D:D:D:D:D
Hey Alfa2 coach, if u coach HH, you way want him drink chinese tea to relax and ginseng to stimulate the brain...that may help...hahaha! LOL!:D :D :D

[OneToughBirdie]

Overall a good day for Malaysian players even though LCW should have done better.
YOu underestimated BP, BP is a good player, ranked high, and in WC05 I watched him play TH, the only players who gave TH trouble in WC05 were BP and KJ, and you may know both LCW and LD were no match for TH in WC05. Even though BP never has beaten LCW, the games were not easy picking.

...like Boon Bee who was short but was a powerful smasher and he had a taller partner in Yee Khan...(include) or a great smasher like Punch....
