Thomas & Uber Cups Preliminaries Asia Zone 2008: Day 6 Final

[Jessica]

Make it a quick one WCH! At least we can "watch" the second doubles :D

Now, it will really be a disaster if Hafiz were to end up losing to Lee Yong Dae...
This is not impossible as you know the yoyo hafiz pattern..:(:(

[eaglehelang]

21-6. what a jokes

Wow, WCH want to finish quick & go home to see kid & wifey. :D

[samuel882]

the way the korean plays.. no smashes at all. he is not used to be at that weak

[eaglehelang]

Apa then? U expect 30-29?

WCH would never allow that to happen, too damaging to his reputation.

[xsakurax]

i think wch wants to show his true ability...he said that he played badly yesterday so he wants to do his best today =D

[jasonmarc]

KOrean aim for tonight..is just to test their new MD pairing....and rest all the top MS players....

[wynn000]

[samuel882]

WCH would never allow that to happen, too damaging to his reputation.

I meant a game that goes to 30-29.

WCH wrapped up 3rd set yesterday at 21 points.
Yes, yesterday,WCH almost lost to the young gun. WCH himself said he did not play well. WCH looked tired & out of sorts yesterday, dunno why.

[Jessica]

Really confuse now..I want Malaysia to win but i want to see Hafiz play LYD too..

[kevinboy]

WCH 21-17 ...Mas - Kor 2-1

hi anfan2000, I can't open live stream. What can I do now? :crying:
Thank you

[waile]

rtm is useless....haha

[jasonmarc]

Korean Thomas Cup Team...is strong ....stronger than Mas....They have 2 very good 1st. and 2nd MS....and Kor are very strong in their 2 MD pair....even their scratch pair can beat KKK/TBH...

Kor..... 2 strong MS + 2 very strong MD
Mas.... 1 strong MS + 2 strong MD

[robin7]

Park Sung Hwan is wearing spectacles on court... This is the 1st time I see player wearing specs on court.

[champion8]

Really confuse now..I want Malaysia to win but i want to see Hafiz play LYD too..

oh... i would wish Hafiz to win if he play LYD. I hope he will get back to track and start to win some tournament.It has been some sad years and i am sure as a player he would hope to revive his career to what it has been.

Give him a chance.

[jasonmarc]

Really confuse now..I want Malaysia to win but i want to see Hafiz play LYD too..

U want to see how LYD humiliating HH.....:rolleyes::eek::rolleyes::eek:

[hcyong]

Park Sung Hwan even wearing glasses. That shows how serious they were.

[xsakurax]

Park Sung Hwan is wearing spectacles on court...

oo really?i want to see it >.<

[Jessica]

Korean Thomas Cup Team...is strong ....stronger than Mas....They have 2 very good 1st. and 2nd MS....and Kor are very strong in their 2 MD pair....even their scratch pair can beat KKK/TBH...

Kor..... 2 strong MS + 2 very strong MD
Mas.... 1 strong MS + 2 strong MD
:crying::crying:Jason..Just now we still make fun of the line up...I think Malaysia will lost with 0-5 if use the other line up which single play as double or double play as single..:crying::D:(

[badMania]

Ranking points won by Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae:
12960/3 = 4320 + Koo/Tan's ranking pts/100 = 73084/100 = 730.8
= 5050 pts....not bad for just playing 1 match :eek:

In contrast, Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae will at get 5468+850 (from beating their opponents) = 6318 pts.

Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong will have at least 7308+625=7933 pts.

Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah will get 6234+515=6749 pts.

Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif get a healthy 4342 pts from beating the unknown Cambodian pair.

Lee Chong Wei will get 7899+831=8730 pts (huge one!!).
I figure out that one reason why Boonsak Ponsana and Park Sung Hwan were not fielded was that Lee's pts could be boosted further if he was to win both matches too (by 9325 pts....more pts than winning a Super Series event!). Smart moves by Team KOR??

[samuel882]

Park Sung Hwan even wearing glasses. That shows how serious they were.
at least better than wearing a googles:D

[Jessica]

U want to see how LYD humiliating HH.....:rolleyes::eek::rolleyes::eek:
Hey...I never say that but i just want to see a double player playing single..I will cheer for Hafiz if he play later..:p:rolleyes:

[badMania]

Park Sung Hwan even wearing glasses. That shows how serious they were.

He wears glasses normally (when not playing anyway).

[jasonmarc]

:crying::crying:Jason..Just now we still make fun of the line up...I think Malaysia will lost with 0-5 if use the other line up which single play as double or double play as single..:crying::D:(

:crying::crying::crying: Yes,...next time...dont ever under estimated your opponents......:o

badMania...Will LCW overtake Lin Dan world no 1 spot after this???:rolleyes:

[eaglehelang]

....and Kor are very strong in their 2 MD pair....even their scratch pair can beat KKK/TBH...



That's in comparision to Msia,
For OG, LYD/Jung & Lee/Hwang have lost to many other country top pairs on a consistent basis. KKK/TBH has beaten LYD/Jung bf.

And same with Msia, just on 2nd WD, our Msia gals, stratch pair of Lim Pek Siah/Ng Hui Lin beat Spore more established no 2 WD to give us the winning pt

[samuel882]

a bad day ahead for MAS doubles.

[Dreamzz]

surely there's a flaw in this system.
it's ridiculous that a player can accumulate more ranking points in a team qualifying event than by winning a super series event.
these points need to be adjusted for it to be fair, especially for the nations which aren't participating.

[hcyong]

It's his fear of failure. His reaction is like LCW's, crumble under pressure. LCw took a couple of years to get used to it.
Happened at MO too, Lars/Jonas mentioned it, TBH got nervous, they targetted TBH, KKK/TBH lost....

He must adopt JR's Samurai code, to make peace with death. In JR's case, it's not that serious. Make peace with losing first. Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

[anfan2000]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 13-13

[robin7]

at least better than wearing a googles:D
U meant goggles, don't u?

[Jessica]

Anyone watching please post up the scores...I am not watching now as my family is watching some programmes that related to the Hong Kong star Lydia Shum who passed away recently.

[samuel882]

Park is playing as in singles way

[xsakurax]

erm i think our mas thomas cup team are not really strong right now..our ms and md are not very consistent and it is hard for us to win the thomas cup if like this....T_T

[badMania]

Park Sung Hwan could be the hero today :D

[eaglehelang]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 13-13

that's fast, Korea Md play fast game too

[anfan2000]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 15-16

[samuel882]

16-15 a surprise lead by korea

[badMania]

surely there's a flaw in this system.
it's ridiculous that a player can accumulate more ranking points in a team qualifying event than by winning a super series event.
these points need to be adjusted for it to be fair, especially for the nations which aren't participating.

But, in order for the player to get that much pts from the team event, he has to ensure that his total rankings are at least between 75000-80000 pts, which means he has won at least a couple of SS events. Not easy :o

[samuel882]

erm i think our mas thomas cup team are not really strong right now..our ms and md are not very consistent and it is hard for us to win the thomas cup if like this....T_T
The way they play, cant even make it into SF round

[anfan2000]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 17-18 . Park smash good..

[eaglehelang]

He must adopt JR's Samurai code, to make peace with death. In JR's case, it's not that serious. Make peace with losing first. Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

LOL, you must ask Ants to set you up a meeting with TBH. Can be TBH's 2nd motivator/psychologist.:D:D

[samuel882]

surpsingly, park played more better than Hwang, a WR 10 pair with LJJ

[jasonmarc]

.....T 0 T..... Kor 2nd pair also 'toying' with Zakry/Fairus....

[xsakurax]

The way they play, cant even make it into SF round

yeah..if they meet a really good team in an early round i dun think they will pass it too.. sad:crying: :crying::crying:

[anfan2000]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 19-20..

[Jessica]

.....T 0 T..... Kor 2nd pair also 'toying' with Zakry/Fairus....
Jason..what the score now and how they toying our MD???:D:D:D

[samuel882]

korea won it. YES ! 21-19

[anfan2000]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 19-21,

[quycoctu]

Lee CHongWei (MAS)Vs Shon Seug Mo (KOR) 21-8,21-11 (2-0)
Koo Kien Keat & Tan Boon Heong (MAS) Vs Lee Jae Jin &Jung Jae Sung (KOR) 16-21,21-17,19-21 (1-2)
Wong Choong Hann vs Lee Cheol Ho 21-6, 21-17 (2-0)

[samuel882]

nervous looks on both of MAs players now

[Jessica]

korea won it. YES ! 21-19
samuel..You always like to be different..:D:DHafiz please prepare now..:rolleyes:

[wynn000]

OMG what happen to our MD

[kevinboy]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 19-21,

Now we should think about can Lee yong dae win over Hafiz?:eek:

[jasonmarc]

My gosh...2 of the Rexy's pet pairs being defeated in such a way....humiliating.......wonder how rexy will react to this....bad...bad...

[robin7]

Ranking points won by Jung Jae Sung/Lee Yong Dae:
12960/3 = 4320 + Koo/Tan's ranking pts/100 = 73084/100 = 730.8

Choong Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah will get 6234+515=6749 pts.

Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif get a healthy 4342 pts from beating the unknown Cambodian pair.

Lee Chong Wei will get 7899+831=8730 pts (huge one!!).
I figure out that one reason why Boonsak Ponsana and Park Sung Hwan were not fielded was that Lee's pts could be boosted further if he was to win both matches too (by 9325 pts....more pts than winning a Super Series event!). Smart moves by Team KOR??
Then LCW will overtake LD after the match as LD is just 5000 pts ahead.

[badMania]

Oh dear...Rexy must be a worried man. I have told you guys that Park Sung Hwan is rather "experienced" in doubles matches (at least in training :p:D:o)

[hcyong]

LYD (and Hafiz) must be thinking: OMG, I really have to come out and play singles?!!

[Jessica]

nervous looks on both of MAs players now
How about rexy???I am afraid that he is angry again with his MD.:(:(

[samuel882]

Now we should think about can Lee yong dae win over Hafiz?:eek:
Hopes to see Lee toying the Yoyo :D

[Jessica]

My gosh...2 of the Rexy's pet pairs being defeated in such a way....humiliating.......wonder how rexy will react to this....bad...bad...
:crying::crying::crying:...Jason..lets cry together...:crying:

[xsakurax]

haiz..sad but nvm add more oil in second set >.< must win it~!!jia you!!!

[hcyong]

Then LCW will overtake LD after the match as LD is just 5000 pts ahead.

Not necesssarily. You still have to minus LCW's 10th tournament.

[samuel882]

5-1, so easy for the korean

[anfan2000]

L.Adul/T.MOHD - J.Hwang/S.Park : 2-6 for game 2

[badMania]

Then LCW will overtake LD after the match as LD is just 5000 pts ahead.

NO...don't forget LCW has to exclude the 6749 pts won from Sudirman Cup and replace it with the 8730 pts from the Asian Continental Qualification. So, his pts will increase by about 2000 pts only.

[hcyong]

Park SH is quite good at doubles.

[jasonmarc]

:crying::crying::crying:...Jason..lets cry together...:crying:

T _ T.....:crying::crying::crying:

[samuel882]

this is a real embarassment for MAS doubles, even a scatch pair can beat any pair for MAS

[eaglehelang]

erm i think our mas thomas cup team are not really strong right now..our ms and md are not very consistent and it is hard for us to win the thomas cup if like this....T_T

Msia team not expected to win or become runner-up for this year's Thomas Cup. This year is focused on OG. And yes, Msia not strong enuf yet.

Could be nerves or they caught off guard by the weird line-up ;);) .
Our WD had weird line-up too, that's how they won over Spore.
Too bad, WPT/LPS almost did it after 1 hr battle with Jap cuties

[anfan2000]

10-2 for Korean

[pauline]

Hopes to see Lee toying the Yoyo :D
yer,don't use 'toying' that word la...

[xsakurax]

maybe PSH plays double when training... =X

[**KZ**]

lol....park is playing doubles with glasses...an amusing yet disappointing match....1st it was TBH making the mistakes now Zakry and Fairuz are taking turns to make mistakes...

[hcyong]

It will be nice to see LYD play Hafiz, but I can't help lament the state of MAS MD.

[Jessica]

T _ T.....:crying::crying::crying:
I really wish to see our MD has some consistent performance but..:(:crying:Please don't make rexy dissapoint again...

[xsakurax]

ops double post sry=X if i hafiz is playing i hope he can play properly..not his yoyo style

[samuel882]

11-3 for KOR interval

[robin7]

OMG, what the heck is going on with MD pairs?

[robin7]

Humiliating.....

[samuel882]

13-3, this is what they called HUMILLIATING DEFEAT

[Jessica]

Humiliating.....
:eek:...Even this word is coming out,its seem really bad.I think i made a right choice for not watching it or else i will faint.:(

[samuel882]

AS USUAL, THE DWARF is the hopeless link in MAS doubles set-ups

[anfan2000]

13-5 for Koreans
I thinks couple Korea get a win on match easy.

[Nievk8701]

i wish mas md lost, coz i wana c LYD vs HH.
mayb tmr newsppr wil see rexy say resign for the 3rd time if mas md reli lose.
haha...

[hhs1000]

Cool down!. Everyone wants to see LYD playing single, included Zakry/Farizuan.

[suetyan]

anyone knows why PSW wears specs?? haha... is he forgotten to bring his contact lens? :D

[eaglehelang]

LYD (and Hafiz) must be thinking: OMG, I really have to come out and play singles?!!

LOL, LYD will be thinking, no sweat, this is Mr Yoyo, no prob.
Hafiz is thinking : "If I lose to a MD player, BAM will withdraw their offer to join BAM."


How about rexy???I am afraid that he is angry again with his MD.:(:(

Yup,when fuzzy get nervous it's worse. Hope Rexy wouldnt go on his "I want to resign" stance again.

Msia add oil!!

[anfan2000]

now, 13-11 for Korean....MAs is trying...

[hcyong]

anyone knows why PSW wears specs?? haha... is he forgotten to bring his contact lens? :D

Probably the same reason why everyone else does it.

[eaglehelang]

11-3 for KOR interval


OMG, what the heck is going on with MD pairs?

Samuel & Robin, are either Zakry or Fairuz injured? Why such big gap in pts?

[robin7]

Come on. I wanna see LYD vs Yoyo...

[xsakurax]

mas add oil !!!omg our md is really doom right now =_='''

[samuel882]

Park can consider switching to doubles..
Lolz.. one of the best front man

[extremenanopowe]

maybe KKK shd partner CTF instead. Still a left-right combination. I believe the pressure is there for kkk-tbh already. Too much for them to handle it. Split is a have a new lease of life. Perhaps they can come back again later. At this rate, its difficult to get rid of the mental block.

[pjswift]

Just hope Rexy doesn't get too upset.Koo/Tan lost so we get to see PSH play MD.Just hope Fuzzy lose so we get to see LYD play MS! It's all in the spirit of good badminton fun.
Are PSH's glasses for real? Looks like a non-badminton weapon.Or a way to remind himself he's playing MD? Maybe Hwang should just stay out of the way.

[jasonmarc]

Just now...a Kor scratch pair beat Mas 1st MD
Now......a Kor single player...playing MD...and beating Mas 3rd MD
Later........a Kor MD player..will play in 3rd. single and.............

[samuel882]

Samuel & Robin, are either Zakry or Fairuz injured? Why such big gap in pts?
no, no one injured, they looks fine.
Probably the dwarfs can't adapt to PArk's power play in the net

[robin7]

Samuel & Robin, are either Zakry or Fairuz injured? Why such big gap in pts?
MAS narrowed it at 12-13 at one point. Now trailing 15-17. They are not injured.

[xsakurax]

i dont think it is a good way to split them as the olympic is coming....they just need to be more focus and take one match at a time..dun think too much =_=''

[robin7]

Kor 19-17.........

[robin7]

Match pt for KOR......

[Jessica]

Just now...a Kor scratch pair beat Mas 1st MD
Now......a Kor single player...playing MD...and beating Mas 3rd MD
Later........a Kor MD player..will play in 3rd. single and.............
jason..Too sad or angry until don't know what to say..:D:D:DNevermind,we should get use of this.We will run out of tears if we keep crying.:D:rolleyes:

[anfan2000]

Malaysian supporter will help L.Adul/T.MOHD .
now, 20-18 for Korean

[samuel882]

here gone MAS doubles. REXY magic also gone

[eaglehelang]

Just now...a Kor scratch pair beat Mas 1st MD
Now......a Kor single player...playing MD...and beating Mas 3rd MD
Later........a Kor MD player..will play in 3rd. single and.............

Shhhhh, not over yet. Big disaster, more criticism from SPorts Minister, NSC, media, etc, etc if lose. More lost of confidence....
Maybe cos Msia fans wanted to see PSH play doubles & LYD play singles.

There gone fuzzy who panicked. Now is Mr Yoyo's turn to prove his mettle.

[robin7]

MAS lost both MD matches.....

[quycoctu]

Abdul Latif Mohd Zakry & Fairuzizuan vs Hwang Ji Man & Parksung Hwan ?-21,18-21 (0-2)

[anfan2000]

21-18 for korean

[extremenanopowe]

It's an embarassment to Msia for sure if they loose. Yap Kim Hock wants a white wash. But it doesn't seems that way. So, lots of preparation to be made if Msia wants to beat the likes of China and Indonesia.


Just now...a Kor scratch pair beat Mas 1st MD
Now......a Kor single player...playing MD...and beating Mas 3rd MD
Later........a Kor MD player..will play in 3rd. single and.............

[robin7]

13-3, this is what they called HUMILLIATING DEFEAT
Check your spelling!:rolleyes:

[samuel882]

Lee Yong Dae Lee Yong Dae Lee Yong Daeeeeee!!!

[Jessica]

Shhhhh, not over yet. Big disaster, more criticism from SPorts Minister, NSC, media, etc, etc if lose. More lost of confidence....
Maybe cos Msia fans wanted to see PSH play doubles & LYD play singles.
Let's pray tomorrow headline is not rexy going to resign again.If they keep on like this,i don't know how many times this will happen.:(:(

[wynn000]

Rexy must very angry he should sent LWW and CTF

[hcyong]

Shhhhh, not over yet. Big disaster, more criticism from SPorts Minister, NSC, media, etc, etc if lose. More lost of confidence....
Maybe cos Msia fans wanted to see PSH play doubles & LYD play singles.

There gone fuzzy who panicked. Now is Mr Yoyo's turn to prove his mettle.

I can take those. What I can't take is another round of bashing by Pemuda.

[xsakurax]

lost in a straight game...haiz T_T
maybe they underestimate their opponent?=_=''

[badMania]

maybe PSH plays double when training... =X

He usually does that with the doubles player, as I wrote earlier!

[PlayaFromMalaya]

hahhahahahahhahahaha...how embarrassing for malaysia..but good also..we get to see lee yong dae play singles after all !

[xsakurax]

ermm maybe hafiz will be the hero tonite?help mas to win the last point...hehe=X

[extremenanopowe]

After election, Rexy can pack and balik kampung already. Can give up on the boys. Either him or the boys. Paiseh/Moumiend lah...:D Maybe they are distracted by election fever. Definitely a fever there.


here gone MAS doubles. REXY magic also gone

[eaglehelang]

Lee Yong Dae Lee Yong Dae Lee Yong Daeeeeee!!!

Samuel is so frustrated he's switching camps...........:D

[jasonmarc]

jason..Too sad or angry until don't know what to say..:D:D:DNevermind,we should get use of this.We will run out of tears if we keep crying.:D:rolleyes:

The KOR is really smart with strategies...........they are playing without pressure......with a peace of mind...that's why they are winning...smart..;)

I cry no more.....Jess....just sad...:cool:

[xymaerts]

Malaysia badminton really really no hope... Both of the MD scratch pair can won .. Only LCW is on track.. the rest...hai....
Good news is, we can see Rexy wants to RESIGN Again !!! Now let see how Hafiz lost..

[badMania]

Oh my goodness :eek:

I really thought that MAS would thrash KOR 3-0....now...it does appear that KOR would have won it if they put Lee Hyun Il as second singles and Shon Sheung Mo as third singles.

Lee Yong Dae must be wondering...why the heck do I have to play now...I thought I have a chance to be rested today with such a lineup :eek:?

[xsakurax]

haiz.. i'm wondering what happen to our players..there is no pressure at all and i wonder why they play below their own ability =_=''

[Jessica]

I can take those. What I can't take is another round of bashing by Pemuda.
Oh no...Pemuda...He must be laughing now..

[hcyong]

The commentator has little knowledge of badminton. (watching Singapore SCV) He said Lee Yong Dae is a relatively unknown South Korean.

[Dreamzz]

i'm sure the KOR players are more shocked than we are.

[xymaerts]

LEE DONG DAE is not MD player??!!!!

[jasonmarc]

HH must be very tension now.....all rely on him now.....never expect this one...

[eaglehelang]

I can take those. What I can't take is another round of bashing by Pemuda.

Ha ha, the pressure from the ministry & government & fans at the stadium is what effects the players.
Pemuda can bash all he wants, as long as Ants dont tell the players the gory details. It doesnt effect the real situation except to irrirate other fans & garner more queries from non-Msian fans as to the critical nature of Msian fans.

I'm more concerned it will effect KKK/TBH's confidence, esp TBH, nearing OG.

[samuel882]

LEE DONG DAE is not MD player??!!!!
lee DONG DAE is not but LEE YONG DAE YES !

[kevinboy]

LEE DONG DAE is not MD player??!!!!

kor MS players become MD players when MD players become MS players:cool:

[xsakurax]

korean players are really versatile...salute them =X

[xymaerts]

so this Korean play with Hafiz is MD player rite?

[samuel882]

7-9 for lee, not bad though

[hcyong]

The commentator has little knowledge of badminton. (watching Singapore SCV) He said Lee Yong Dae is a relatively unknown South Korean.

And he keeps saying that XX puts an incredible amount of spin. Maybe he had some experience in table tennis.

[xymaerts]

Just want to check is the Astro pic quality on Channel 816 is bad.. I keep receiving lack in the picture.. Pls confirm if u get the same quality too?

[badMania]

Lee Yong Dae -- no pressure at all...on the other hand, he's bemused
Hafiz Hashim -- oh no...why me again???? As if the KLRC-Nusa saga is not enough....now if I were to lose today...surely I will make the headline again :o

[CYW2006]

i think malaysia draw like this is want to skip away from china....

[xsakurax]

err what is the score rite now? thx~

[eaglehelang]

Malaysia badminton really really no hope... Both of the MD scratch pair can won .. Only LCW is on track.. the rest...hai....
Good news is, we can see Rexy wants to RESIGN Again !!! Now let see how Hafiz lost..

Dont be so sad... If you keep saying no hope, really become no hope, baru tau. Mr Yoyo needs to win.
And we dont need another round of drama from Rexy.


Oh no...Pemuda...He must be laughing now..

Then we can stay it's due to his 'flash in the pan' statements, making -ve confession, keep saying it become true. ;):D Or ask him to spend us the money he won from betting against KKK/TBH, if he does bet, he he.

[hcyong]

And he keeps saying that XX puts an incredible amount of spin. Maybe he had some experience in table tennis.

And when the shuttle goes wide (but inside the doubles line, presumably), he says "down in the alley". Is he creating new terms, or am I the ignorant one?

[Jessica]

[Jessica]

:D:D:D...He is a new commentator i doubt...Really funny..:D

[kevinboy]

:D:D:D...He is a new commentator i doubt...Really funny..:D

Can we watch it online?

[badMania]

13-15 for LeeYD

Lee Yong Dae is actually leading??? WOW.....unbelievable...

[Jessica]

Can we watch it online?
No...Only astro...:)

[samuel882]

Lee Yong Dae is actually leading??? WOW.....unbelievable...
no, the other way around.
but the way he plays, quite amazing too.

[xsakurax]

hafiz jia you!!You need to win so that u can be the hero tonight...then BAM will happily to let u go to KLRC.. XD

[eaglehelang]

Lee Yong Dae -- no pressure at all...on the other hand, he's bemused
Hafiz Hashim -- oh no...why me again???? As if the KLRC-Nusa saga is not enough....now if I were to lose today...surely I will make the headline again :o

And Hafiz will also be thinking..."If I lose, BAM will withdraw offer to join BAM. KLRC also withdraw offer....yikess"
You seem to be enjoying this Badmania, since it doesnt involve Indonesia.

[CYW2006]

try to think logic if u were want to show ur team is better...
u must put ur top player on court right....
and this is a just preleminaries....
if those team who won in this section they are guarantee with a place in
Thomas cup and dun have to play the qualify.....

[badMania]

You seem to be enjoying this Badmania, since it doesnt involve Indonesia.

Haha...rare chances....can relax while keeping progress on the proceedings.

[wynn000]

so wat is the score now?

[samuel882]

21-17 for yoyo
I think Lee waste a hosts of chances to win this set
he would be not much energy left in the second

[Jessica]

Dont be so sad... If you keep saying no hope, really become no hope, baru tau. Mr Yoyo needs to win.
And we dont need another round of drama from Rexy.

Maybe Pemuda is training hard now to represent the country to win the first Olympic gold medal for Malaysia since most of the players to him are flash in the pan..:D:D:D

[badMania]

MAS put their top choices except for MD2 (Choong/Lee), only to see the scores being overturned in the doubles....rather unexpectedly.

[robin7]

Can Yoyo finish the job?

[Jessica]

Erm..All the four team which enter the semi final are guarantee to Jakarta this May.:rolleyes:

[xymaerts]

If MAS win 3-2 on Korean team also no pride!! In fact is a shame.. Y?? U got the answer, if they would line up with their through power.. I think MAS already OUT already...

[eaglehelang]

hafiz jia you!!You need to win so that u can be the hero tonight...then BAM will happily to let u go to KLRC.. XD

Hafiz is with Nusa Mahsuri, not BAM. There's a Hafiz thread dedicated to his departure issue.

Huh? The teams already qualified aft they reached Semi F. Top 4 teams go for Finals in May

[jasonmarc]

21-17 for yoyo
I think Lee waste a hosts of chances to win this set
he would be not much energy left in the second

Dont say it too early.....we all know who is mr. Yo-Yo....from good to bad in split second...........hope not...touch wood..choi...choi...:o

[samuel882]

yoyo did try a few tricky shots , as in playing an exhibition match

[jasonmarc]

MAS put their top choices except for MD2 (Choong/Lee), only to see the scores being overturned in the doubles....rather unexpectedly.

then...Choong/Lee must be saying.....'Heng-ah......not chosen to play'.....:D:D:D

[xsakurax]

If MAS win 3-2 on Korean team also no pride!! In fact is a shame.. Y?? U got the answer, if they would line up with their through power.. I think MAS already OUT already...

yeah..i feel really sad with their perfomance tonight :crying::crying::crying: i just hope they can improve their games in all england :(

[badMania]

LYD can win 17 pts against an All-England winner...not bad right for a doubles player?

[pjswift]

The way LYD plays, he's expecting his MD partner to cover for him.And his on the line shots are for the MD outer line .Quite funny to see.

[wynn000]

so now who lead?

[badMania]

LCW -- whoever they put...no worry...I sure can beat them :D
Koo/Tan -- sigh...lose again :mad:
WCH -- Lee Cheol Ho? A piece of cake....
Fairuz/Zakry -- no face lah...lost to a singles player

[nwy5633]

then...Choong/Lee must be saying.....'Heng-ah......not chosen to play'.....:D:D:D
this one really funny ! :D:D:D:D

[samuel882]

if MAS and KOREA meet in JKT comes MAy and Lee HI WR move above PSH and placed at MS1
MAS could getting a whitewash. 0-3

[eaglehelang]

Haha...rare chances....can relax while keeping progress on the proceedings.

He he he, yup, Thomas Cup in May, you'll be very tense....


Maybe Pemuda istraining hard now to represent the country to win the first Olympic gold medal for Malaysia since most of the players to him are flash in the pan..:D:D:D

RLOL :D:D:D, then we can bash him the same way, then only he knows how it feels like, kah kah kah. Nvm, this time must learn not to respond..... got AE & Swiss coming up to enjoy ourselves.

[CYW2006]

MAS put their top choices except for MD2 (Choong/Lee), only to see the scores being overturned in the doubles....rather unexpectedly.
maybe Rexy want to help their (Zakry/Fairul)ranking to the Olympic...

[huangkwokhau]

wow....whats the score now???

[kevinboy]

what is the score now?

[samuel882]

LYD can win 17 pts against an All-England winner...not bad right for a doubles player?
anyone can easily get more than 10 pts against Yoyo :p

[hcyong]

LYD can win 17 pts against an All-England winner...not bad right for a doubles player?

Well, I think they can all play singles and doubles.

[CYW2006]

Erm..All the four team which enter the semi final are guarantee to Jakarta this May.:rolleyes:
yup.............:o

[samuel882]

12-6, yoyo stretch his lead

[xsakurax]

if MAS and KOREA meet in JKT comes MAy and Lee HI WR move above PSH and placed at MS1
MAS could getting a whitewash. 0-3

yeah..we cannot expect lcw to win all the games....we cannot be too depending on our first ms >.<

[badMania]

Let's see if we put Yoyo in the doubles and partner the Fuzzy guy.
I bet Park Sung Hwan/Lee Hyun Il will beat them to pieces :D

[jasonmarc]

this one really funny ! :D:D:D:D

Thanks....just make some joke out of frustration....;)

[rinewy]

It must be very fun to watch the game btwn LYD and HH ler.....;)

[samuel882]

Let's see if we put Yoyo in the doubles and partner the Fuzzy guy.
I bet Park Sung Hwan/Lee Hyun Il will beat them to pieces :D
it seems like.. any scatch pair can beats a MAS pair now.

[samuel882]

18-9 for hafiz ......

[eaglehelang]

then...Choong/Lee must be saying.....'Heng-ah......not chosen to play'.....:D:D:D
Oldies tired lah. THey must saying to their juniors now - dont tension, dont tension..


LYD can win 17 pts against an All-England winner...not bad right for a doubles player?
Msia junior players can play both MS & MD, so Korean players should be able to do the same
Arif Abd Latif right now also play both, just concentrate more on MS.

[hcyong]

Good warmup all around.

[jasonmarc]

MAS Team wins.......but totally lost in MD department......sad...

[robin7]

Mas 3 Kor 2.........

[samuel882]

21-9 .. its all over for Lee Yong Dae :(

[abedeng]

The MAS crisis of confidence in the doubles does not bode well for the finals. Though I still think Malaysia will get top 4 seeding, they can be knocked out in q-finals like in 2004. It looks likely that CTF/LWW will be called in to shoulder the heavy resposibility in critical ties.

Hafiz just won the match, quite easily too. And like the previous qualifiers, MAS won 3-2 on the strength of singles.

[Jessica]

It must be very fun to watch the game btwn LYD and HH ler.....;)
Trust me..Its really funny to see a double player playing single..LYD very cute..:D:p:p

[pauline]

The way LYD plays, he's expecting his MD partner to cover for him.And his on the line shots are for the MD outer line .Quite funny to see.
haha,this is funny...1st time playing as singles in international tournament..

[huangkwokhau]

Rexy wont be happy today with Double loss............

[liying_0505]

What kinda "strategy" is Korea using??? Doubles for singles, singles for doubles? I thought I hear my dad wrongly when he mentioned Park Sung Hwan is playing doubles...... OMG!!!

[jasonmarc]

Trust me..Its really funny to see a double player playing single..LYD very cute..:D:p:p

So...LYD is your 'cutie' lah..;)...mine is the Jpn 'cuties'.....:D:D:D

[badMania]

So, MAS is the champion of the Asian Preliminaries. But, the unexpected loss of both doubles will certainly become the focus in tomorrow's headline.

Hafiz Hashim -- heng man....I can beat that Lee Yong Dae....hehehe :D

[Jessica]

Hafiz: Thank You for letting me perform..I think all the fans won't call me
yoyo now...
Rexy and double players: Nevermind lar..We are all brothers..As long as you
regain your confidence.
:D:D:D..Just kidding...I am still sad with our MD lost..

[xsakurax]

mas team always turn out like this..when we hope that ms can deliver point they fail... when we put our hope in md then they will also fail =_=''

[jasonmarc]

Rexy wont be happy today with Double loss............

Yes, definately.....poor rexy...so much pressure for him to bear...take care,..rexy...:)

[eaglehelang]

Let's see if we put Yoyo in the doubles and partner the Fuzzy guy.
I bet Park Sung Hwan/Lee Hyun Il will beat them to pieces :D

They'll be cut to pieces. WCH with KKK or TBH would be better, WCH played doubles (and won) before.

Since you watched throughout - is it the nerves hitting TBH & Fairuz (aka Fuzzy)? TBH's confidence seem to be going down & down... hope he doesnt take a couple of years to get used to the pressure like LCW.

Certainly it has taken the gloss off the victory. To put things into perspective, KOR put up such an embarrasing lineup and still able to win 2 pts...no wonder Ha Tae Kwon was beaming with smiles today :cool:

[Jessica]

So...LYD is your 'cutie' lah..;)...mine is the Jpn 'cuties'.....:D:D:D
He is really cute..Next time i will cheer for him..:p:p;)

[jasonmarc]

So, MAS is the champion of the Asian Preliminaries. But, the unexpected loss of both doubles will certainly become the focus in tomorrow's headline.

Hafiz Hashim -- heng man....I can beat that Lee Yong Dae....hehehe :D

Yes, he can feel 'proud'...of himselves for winning the deciding match..:p

[rinewy]

Trust me..Its really funny to see a double player playing single..LYD very cute..:D:p:p

:D:D....LYD will goes saying " oops ! thats the in line for MD game!".... and " y i'm serving every time?" n stuff lik tat....cute la...hehehehe:p

[eaglehelang]

Hafiz Hashim -- heng man....I can beat that Lee Yong Dae....hehehe :D

More likely he's saying "Phew, now BAM & KLRC wont withdraw offer. I wont be out of job" he he he

[huangkwokhau]

Actually Korea was experienmenting their double also...they did it purposely...I did not think it is embarassing line up from Korea... Park/Hwang Jiman has beaten 3rd MAS Double so at least KOR can count them in future if one of their MD player is injured.......

[hcyong]

No complaints about MS players. It's not their fault their opponents are not their class, so I can't complain about their complacency, not even Hafiz.

For MD, I have serious issues about TBH. At times he looked nervous, and at times he looked complacent (maybe to mask the fact that he was nervous). He made a lot of amateurish mistakes. I still have hope for him though. It's all in the head. I wish he could adopt KKK's arrogance.

As for Fairuz/Zakry, they were basically just complacent. Plus PSH actually played really well. And HJM is not a bad player himself, although amazingly overshadowed by PSH.

[zqloy]

Our MDs are such an embarrassment today. No wonder Rexy wants to leave our team. KKK/TBH has no trust for each other, fighting for shots all the time; KKK's netplay edge is gone, while TBH still crumble under crucial points.... no hope in AE.

[jasonmarc]

:D:D....LYD will goes saying " oops ! thats the in line for MD game!".... and " y i'm serving every time?" n stuff lik tat....cute la...hehehehe:p

Hafiz : LYD long services..are all 3/4 court...very easy to smash..

[badMania]

Rexy two worst fears:
1. the two-doubles losing to lower ranked pairs
2. losing to to scratch pairs.

Unfortunately, both were realized today (Jung Jae Sung/Lee Jae Jin still ranked at 70th).

He must be really upset today :mad:

KKK didnt play well either. Numerous miskates at the net, where has the confidence gone?

[badMania]

Yes, he can feel 'proud'...of himselves for winning the deciding match..:p

Look out for tomorrow's headline in the Star: "Born-again Hafiz carries Malaysia pride". It then goes on with Hafiz saying "I would like to thank BAM for giving their blessings to my move to KLRC...bla bla bla". :D

[eaglehelang]

Rexy two worst fears:
1. the two-doubles losing to lower ranked pairs
2. losing to to scratch pairs.

Hope there wouldnt be another round of drama....


KKK didnt play well either. Numerous miskates at the net, where has the confidence gone?

Oh? KKK also lost confidence? Not only TBH meh?
TBH need some serious sessions with the sports psychologist to regain his confidence.

[badMania]

LYD: on the long return....hey...I thought that was in :p:o

[zqloy]

Our boys today is great contrast with yesterdays women's performance, although they lost. Our girls has great team spirit and fighting spirit.

[Jessica]

Hope there wouldnt be another round of drama....



Oh? KKK also lost confidence? Not only TBH meh?
TBH need some serious sessions with the sports psychologist to regain his confidence.
I think one is losing confidence and the other one is over confident...:(:(

[jasonmarc]

Good nite very one,...Jess...dont be too crazy over LYD....get some sleep ok? hehehehehe

[eaglehelang]

Look out for tomorrow's headline in the Star: "Born-again Hafiz carries Malaysia pride". It then goes on with Hafiz saying "I would like to thank BAM for giving their blessings to my move to KLRC...bla bla bla". :D

It's Nusa, Nusa, not BAM! BAM offered Hafiz to join BAM if Hafiz wants to leave Nusa Mahsuri.
Nahhh the headline wont be like that, it'll be "Star doubles crashed out to strach pair" or "Bergu emas sudah hilang sentuhan.":D with pictures of both KKK & TBH looking dejected.

[zqloy]

Hope there wouldnt be another round of drama....



Oh? KKK also lost confidence? Not only TBH meh?
TBH need some serious sessions with the sports psychologist to regain his confidence.

Frustration is all shown on his face, he should seriously look at his own performance in AG06, what a big difference!

[xymaerts]

Although MAS won, BUT nothing much to celebrate!!.. At least now we know where is MAS stand in Thomas Cup.. It is after CHN-INDONESIA-DENMARK-KOREA..

[Jessica]

Good nite very one,...Jess...dont be too crazy over LYD....get some sleep ok? hehehehehe
Ok lah..Bye...You will see i have another player to cheer during All England time other than Sudket...:p:p

[zqloy]

Although MAS won, BUT nothing much to celebrate!!.. At least now we know where is MAS stand in Thomas Cup.. It is after CHN-INDONESIA-DENMARK-KOREA..

Agreed. I was kinda joking with my dad, Mas team should walkover during their TC finals. :mad:

[badMania]

It's Nusa, Nusa, not BAM! BAM offered Hafiz to join BAM if Hafiz wants to leave Nusa Mahsuri.

I know its Nusa :D But, I thought BAM also gave their blessings too?? Hmm...what a complicated deal :eek:

[jasonmarc]

Nahhh the headline wont be like that, it'll be "Star doubles crashed out to strach pair" or "Bergu emas sudah hilang sentuhan.":D with pictures of both KKK & TBH looking dejected.

The head-lines should be' Malaysia menang, tapi dimalukan Korea'.......:o

[samuel882]

THE fair seeding for Thomas Cup finals should be like this
1. CHINA
2. INDONESIA
3, DENMARK
4. KOREA

[Jessica]

Agreed. I was kinda joking with my dad, Mas team should walkover during their TC finals. :mad:
:eek:Huh..walkover..Don't lar..This will be really serious if Mas team choose to walkover..Just hope YKH can sort out all the problem after today match..

[rinewy]

i stil remember clearly yesterday when julia was playing , both TBH n HH cheered for her with a water bottle acting lik a microphone...TBH really had fun there....no way he shud lost confidence....:( wonder wat kind of pressure he's having ?

perhaps the korean pair is too weird(fresh) that people cannot read their game.... thats wat happening during KKK n TBH getting paired up initially n won swiss,AE etc....n after a long run.....people knoe how to beat them...ah...do well next time...;):cool:

[Ferrerkiko]

Hi bros:

Anybody here has the result of China players in the Thomas cup ?

[badMania]

Hi bros:

Anybody here has the result of China players in the Thomas cup ?

Come back in May dude....:D

[Jessica]

Hi bros:

Anybody here has the result of China players in the Thomas cup ?
Hah..China team already qualify for the Thomas Cup final as they are the defending champion.They don't have to play this qualifying tournament.:)

[eaglehelang]

Come back in May dude....:D

LOL, ya this guy's slow to catch the news or he doesnt buy newspaper.

Fear of failure, fear of losing. That's why they lost in WC 2007, MO 2008, China Open 2007... Rexy said when TBH wakes up in the morning, TBH already feel the pressure.

Yup, KKK/TBH were the stratch pair that beat established pairs, all the way to win titles.. the other countries pairs must have gotten scolding too.
Now they're the established pair that go beaten by stratch pairs.

[xymaerts]

Wat u mean.. CHN? They r the defending champion.. So automatically qualify to the Final in Jakarta. Indonesia as a host so they r also automatically qualify
