Swiss Open Day 4 - QF (14 Mar)

[george@chongwei]

Yep as expected TH ran out of gas sooner. Lets hope Bao and LD can show us a great game tomorrow without any "injury" incident.
another `interesting movies` to watch:rolleyes:;):cool:

[ye333]

I cannot get into court 3!!! :mad::mad:

[Misty100]

Haiyo... finito, time to go to bed. Goodnight guys!

[KooGuy]

TH is over the hilll...Time to retire.:D

[badMania]

Enough for the day, said Taufik Hidayat as Bao Chunlai claimed the prize, winning in rubber-sets. Now, the question is: will it be another WO for Lin Dan tomorrow (this time round)?

[george@chongwei]

Haiyo... finito, time to go to bed. Goodnight guys!
i also gonna sign off now..
goodnight:):)
bye:)

[ye333]

Top 8 no problem. TH had difficulty beating BCL even at his prime. BCL is tall and has fine skill. Currently I believe TH can definitely match CJ.


Taufik doesn't belong to the "big 4", he still have quite some distance to go. I think be hardly qualify as top 8 with his current form.

[badadum]

Allrite...time for MD....staying neutral on this one, good luck TG/CW, MK/HS :)

[Misty100]

Yep as expected TH ran out of gas sooner. Lets hope Bao and LD can show us a great game tomorrow without any "injury" incident.

Don't be surprise there will be another W/O :D:D:D

[Birdwood]

Told you TH will lose the rubber, but he did give a good fight. Congratulation to BCL for having confidence in himself.

[badMania]

I still can't connect to Court 3 as well...hmm....

[ye333]

No need... BCL as of today is no match to LD.


Enough for the day, said Taufik Hidayat as Bao Chunlai claimed the prize, winning in rubber-sets. Now, the question is: will it be another WO for Lin Dan tomorrow (this time round)?

[Krisna]

Enough for the day, said Taufik Hidayat as Bao Chunlai claimed the prize, winning in rubber-sets. Now, the question is: will it be another WO for Lin Dan tomorrow (this time round)?

I think it will be a WO win for Bao tomorrow... Bao needs the extra points to be seeded even higher at the Olympics... ;) For further detailed explanations, ask the headcoach with the cap... :rolleyes:

[aeida]

TH is over the hilll...Time to retire.:D

not yet..still want to catch more actions of him..:)

[yen_saw]

LD / LCW MS final is most likely now

[bananakid]

This tournament now belongs to WACHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Wacha will dominate LCW tomorrow and go on to defeat Lin Dan!!!:p

Second Semi-final appearance for the great Wacha in less than a year period, great job!!!:D

[Birdwood]

Enough for the day, said Taufik Hidayat as Bao Chunlai claimed the prize, winning in rubber-sets. Now, the question is: will it be another WO for Lin Dan tomorrow (this time round)?

No WO tomorrow, but could be a practice session. We all know LD should win easily unless he doesn't.

[yen_saw]

I think it will be a WO for Bao tomorrow... He needs the extra points to be seeded even higher at the Olympics... ;) For further detailed explanations, ask the headcoach with the cap... :rolleyes:

Hmmm good point. I would hate to see another WO, but knowing LCW will be there in the final the chinese team will have thier "plan"

[bananakid]

LD / LCW MS final is most likely now

Lin Dan vs Wacha is going to be much more interesting... and it will HAPPEN!:eek:

Wacha to win Swiss open 08 MS title!!!

[baihaki]

yeah ld will win this tournament after big dissapoint in ae i think and for his first tittle in thi year

[ye333]

Not likely. LD vs. Wacha will be boring. Wacha will be toyed.


Lin Dan vs Wacha is going to be much more interesting... and it will HAPPEN!:eek:

Wacha to win Swiss open 08 MS title!!!

[robin7]

Enough for the day, said Taufik Hidayat as Bao Chunlai claimed the prize, winning in rubber-sets. Now, the question is: will it be another WO for Lin Dan tomorrow (this time round)?
What would u do if u were LYB for 2moro's SF? Whose win will be more significant?

[bananakid]

Not likely. LD vs. Wacha will be boring. Wacha will be toyed.

You must not have heard of Super Wacha!!! He will change his hair color to blonde in a sudden!!! Unless Lin Dan turns into Super Dan as well... otherwise Wacha will win.:p

[ye333]

No one is watching and I could not connect? :confused:

[ctjcad]

Haiyo... finito, time to go to bed. Goodnight guys!

i also gonna sign off now..
goodnight:):)
bye:)
..and we'll be waiting for you guys and the rest of the MAS BCers.........................tomorrow night, right here, same time, same channel and same frequency..;)

[demolidor]

I think it will be a WO win for Bao tomorrow... Bao needs the extra points to be seeded even higher at the Olympics... ;) For further detailed explanations, ask the headcoach with the cap... :rolleyes:

Higher than what? No.3? He is already no.3 and I thought someone had said LCW is guaranteed no.2 so that wouldn't make any sense ... In any case I will be happy to avoid this PAW.

[Krisna]

No WO tomorrow, but could be a practice session. We all know LD should win easily unless he doesn't.

After all the criticism towards LYB, I think you're right... it won't be a WO just a practice session for show... :p

[badMania]

Still couldn't connect...Kido/Hendra lead 11-8 at the interval.

[badadum]

You must not have heard of Super Wacha!!! He will change his hair color to blonde in a sudden!!! Unless Lin Dan turns into Super Dan as well... otherwise Wacha will win.:p

I like the Prince of Poland as well, but you're definitely just a tad over with this one :p

[demolidor]

You must not have heard of Super Wacha!!! He will change his hair color to blonde in a sudden!!! Unless Lin Dan turns into Super Dan as well... otherwise Wacha will win.:p

Wacha is already blond ;). Maybe orange will suit him. Or you mean Eminem blond :D.?

[ye333]

I had thought they must put this match on the Zattoo court... :crying::crying::crying:


Still couldn't connect...Kido/Hendra lead 11-8 at the interval.

[badadum]

Still couldn't connect...Kido/Hendra lead 11-8 at the interval.

Are you watching it live?

[Birdwood]

What would u do if u were LYB for 2moro's SF? Whose win will be more significant?

LD has to win because he will match up better with LCW than BCL, but on the other hand, maybe LCW and BCL should have a rematch since CO MSF 07.

[baihaki]

13-9 for mk/hs they're in fire i think after this tournament they will no1

[Krisna]

Higher than what? No.3? He is already no.3 and I thought someone had said LCW is guaranteed no.2 so that wouldn't make any sense ... In any case I will be happy to avoid this PAW.

Really?!? LCW is guaranteed to get #2 seed at the Olympics? :eek: I didn't know that... :confused: Well I maybe... :p In that case, LYB will give LD a practice session... to ensure LD get the #1 seed at the Olympics... :D

[Han]

No WO tomorrow, but could be a practice session. We all know LD should win easily unless he doesn't.

If Lin Dan win is because Bao didn't try hard and if Bao win then is because order from the top ... No win situation for China.
Actually, Malaysians don't really care, we only demand to see Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan along with Li Yongbo and Misbun at side line ... hidden under the stairs is Li Mau :D

[yen_saw]

! He will change his hair color to blonde in a sudden!!!

Ha! that was funny;)

[robin7]

Xu 19-16.........

[Birdwood]

After all the criticism towards LYB, I think you're right... it won't be a WO just a practice session for show... :p

Frequent WO is not a good thing in my opinion. Players don't develop the same tough stamina as they would otherwise have.

[badadum]

13-9 for mk/hs they're in fire i think after this tournament they will no1

They're already #1 :)

[Krisna]

Still couldn't connect...Kido/Hendra lead 11-8 at the interval.

badMania, isn't it 5am in HK now? :D You're a night-owl like me, eh? :)

[yen_saw]

hidden under the stairs is Li Mau :D

Now this is funny!! boy we have lot of jokers here;)

[badMania]

Kido/Hendra take the first set 21-14. Come on....make it a quick job...I need some sleep :o

[Krisna]

Frequent WO is not a good thing in my opinion. Players don't develop the same tough stamina as they would otherwise have.

Yeah... LD needs to practice those thundersmashes... Didn't see much of those at the All-England finals the other day... :p Bao can give some good drills for him then...

[F-38-I]

Wow, 2 times in a row, flandy lost to ENG pair with, let say, an easy way. Was he too respect to his ex-teammates? Or has the ENG known Flandy's style and the way to beat him? But anyway, Antony/Kellog is good pair.

[ye333]

No one will say this... LD beating BCL is almost like 1+1=2, guaranteed. Furthermore as we can see from today's match, BCL is mentally weak.


If Lin Dan win is because Bao didn't try hard and if Bao win then is because order from the top ... No win situation for China.
Actually, Malaysians don't really care, we only demand to see Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan along with Li Yongbo and Misbun at side line ... hidden under the stairs is Li Mau :D

[aeida]

need to go to sleep...
got an interview today...
good luck Candra/Tony!!!
always prefer the veterans!!

[robin7]

Hohoho. XHW took the 1st game 21-16.

[badadum]

Kido/Hendra take the first set 21-14. Come on....make it a quick job...I need some sleep :o

Tomorrow is saturday..... you can afford not waking up till noon :D

[baihaki]

mk/hs win the first set go go go

[yen_saw]

The chinese WS is doing this again. Everytime when the senior do well, the juniors tends to fall early but when the seniors lost unexpectedly the juniors will step up.

[bananakid]

Wacha is already blond ;). Maybe orange will suit him. Or you mean Eminem blond :D.?

Well.. that's the whole point(just so I am still telling the truth)... as there is really no way someone can change hair color all of a sudden.:p But you may be able to feel the energy wave released by Wacha when he gets into that "super" mode!!!

[badssp07]

No need for W/O becos Bao will not be able to catch up with LCW in terms of ranking points...... also Bao will be exhausted after today's match......so LD will win tomorrow and we will have another LD vs LCW final :)

[ye333]

Are you watching it live? How is the game? Is it good?


mk/hs win the first set go go go

[badMania]

Are you watching it live? How is the game? Is it good?

I still could not get the streaming...sigh :o

[badMania]

I feel sorry for our veteran heros....but...sorry guys...its time to pass the baton to Kido/Hendra now! The WC leads 11-3 at the interval of the second set.

[ctjcad]

Even if Taufik get pass Bao today, I am afraid he might not have any energy left for tmrw...
..in Basel??..If there is/are, then i'm sure Taufik will be up & ready, invigorated w/a new energy tomorrow...;)

[badadum]

0 net winner for TG/CW...is HS really that good nowadays?

[Birdwood]

If Lin Dan win is because Bao didn't try hard and if Bao win then is because order from the top ... No win situation for China.
Actually, Malaysians don't really care, we only demand to see Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan along with Li Yongbo and Misbun at side line ... hidden under the stairs is Li Mau :D

Yes, it may be whoever LYB wants to send up against LCW. Since all five of them have not much personal grievances, they should talk it tonight over the dinner :D

[badMania]

..in Basel??..If there is/are, then i'm sure Taufik will be up & ready, invigorated w/a new energy tomorrow...;)

Ah...Chris is online to lend his support for Tony/Candra :p

[demolidor]

Well.. that's the whole point(just so I am still telling the truth)... as there is really no way someone can change hair color all of a sudden.:p But you may be able to feel the energy wave released by Wacha when he gets into that "super" mode!!!

Super Saiyan surely. Makes sense now ;).

[robin7]

LL must be mentally tired playing her 4th SS tourney (QF, F, F, QF).

[badMania]

0 net winner for TG/CW...is HS really that good nowadays?

Have u watched any of his recent matches :confused:;)??

[F-38-I]

But, I do like to see INA vs non-INA tomorrow in SF. So far Nova/Lilyana is most consistent pair. At least they entered SF in every tournament they've followed

[demolidor]

Xu is going to win from the looks of it ... Should've sticked with my original pick I guess

[ctjcad]

Ah...Chris is online to lend his support for Tony/Candra :p
:p...:confused:...;)

[badadum]

Have u watched any of his recent matches :confused:;)??

I'll take that as a resounding "YES" :D

[robin7]

XHW 11-7 up.....

[badMania]

But, I do like to see INA vs non-INA tomorrow in SF. So far Nova/Lilyana is most consistent pair. At least they entered SF in every tournament they've followed

Err..only in these 2 weeks. They crashed out in QF and R32 in Malaysia and Korea, both to Lee Yong Dae/Lee Hyo Jung :o

[baihaki]

no i'm watching live score btw what happen to zheng bo/gao ling i can't find the information in the website

[robin7]

XHW 13-9. Camon.....

[badadum]

no i'm watching live score btw what happen to zheng bo/gao ling i can't find the information in the website

ZB is injured.........I guess :rolleyes:

[baihaki]

sorri now i can find it maybe because i'm too sleepy

[ye333]

Your guess is right.


ZB is injured.........I guess :rolleyes:

[robin7]

Xu 18-10..........

[robin7]

Xu at match pt 20-10.

[badMania]

Okay...straight-forward victory for the World Champions over the Olympics Gold Medallist...Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan progress in just 25 mins: 21-14, 21-12. Up next will be Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari/Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif tomorrow. As always, MAS pairs are Kido/Hendra's bogey pairs...so..they better play to their potential :cool:

I guess the shocking defeat last week taught them a lesson: not to underestimate any opponent and put on your very best from the beginning! Like what they did to Tony/Candra today....

[robin7]

Yes, Xu Huaiwen won it. Many PAWers will be upset.

[badadum]

Only 1 miss (thanks TH...thanks...) out of initial prediction... I should start PAWing....

[F-38-I]

He3, tx Badmania. I forgot those 2 previous tourneys. Yup, Flandy was also lost to Lee in final, emm... Korea? I can only remember China&Hongkong Open plus AE last week.

[badMania]

Finally, in the last match of the day, Xu Huaiwen beat Lu Lan in straight-sets. LYB will have headache again as both of his ailing stars: Xie Xingfang and Zhang Ning will be facing the in-form Pi Hongyan (having beaten 2 Chinese players) and Xu Huaiwen (beating the reigning World Champion).

[Han]

Yes, it may be whoever LYB wants to send up against LCW. Since all five of them have not much personal grievances, they should talk it tonight over the dinner :D

You know, one fatal mistake we have made is assuming Chong Wei will beat Wacha in SF, I thought we have learned from All England last week, is never over until "Negara Ku" is sung :D

[ctjcad]

Finally, in the last match of the day, Xu Huaiwen beat Lu Lan in straight-sets. LYB will have headache again as both of his ailing stars: Xie Xingfang and Zhang Ning will be facing the in-form Pi Hongyan (having beaten 2 Chinese players) and Xu Huaiwen (beating the reigning World Champion).
..Tine is not in the mix...If she is, LYB will probably have a migraine...:p ;)

[badMania]

..Tine is not in the mix...If she is, LYB will probably have a migraine...:p ;)

Tine made a wise decision. Lu Lan was a spent force today....losing easily. Zhu Lin also crumbled in the second set.

[F-38-I]

Ok, tx everyone, I'll take my sleeping time, though Subuh time is just in half an hour. Enough time to rest.

[baihaki]

hey what happen to zheng bo/gao i still can't find their result in the official website

[badMania]

hey what happen to zheng bo/gao i still can't find their result in the official website

It's WO to He Hanbin/Yu Yang!

The same goes for Gao Ling/Zhao Tingting. As widely predicted by many pundits here, Du Jing/Yu Yang obviously get LYB's nod.

Thank's God we won't have any more WO tomorrow as Xie/Zhang lost to Lee/Lee.

[cooler]

Still have 2 possible walks in semi,
WD : Zhang/Yang vs Du/Yu;
MS : Lin Dan vs Bao Chunlai;

Good point, half empty-half full scenario. And those Yonex birds are so expensive.

[kwun]

The same goes for Gao Ling/Zhao Tingting. As widely predicted by many pundits here, Du Jing/Yu Yang obviously get LYB's nod.


LYB has already publicly said that since Gao/Zhao lost to Lee/Lee twice in a row (GO 2008 &AE 2008), they have lost their bid for going to the Olympics.

[ye333]

They participate just to eliminate some foreign pairs. As soon as they meet their teammates, the mission is fulfilled. :cool:


LYB has already publicly said that since Gao/Zhao lost to Lee/Lee twice in a row (GO 2008 &AE 2008), they have lost their bid for going to the Olympics.

[badMania]

Since Xie/Zhang are not participating in the India Open, they are really clinging to the slimmest of margin now...in their bid for Olympics qualification.

Flandy/Vita basically will remain in the top 4 as long as Xie/Zhang do not participate in the Badminton Asia Championships. If they do go to Johor, then Xie/Zhang HAVE TO WIN the title!. No question about it. Any result below that will mean they will not qualify!

[ye333]

Then Xie/Zhang's AE Walkover to Zheng/Gao in fact shows they are dispensable in LYB's squad. Poor guy/girl.

or maybe they really are injured.... ;)

If they are "really" injured, they won't play so fiercely today, won't they :o;)

[eaglehelang]

Badmania, you didnt sleep the whole nite?

Anyway, I just woke & saw LCW won (as expected). Msia Uncles won, and best of the 3, Fuzzy had their revenge over Luluk/Alvent.
Tdy though Uncles will face Lee/Jung again to revenge their Semis lost last week.

didn't know eagles are nocturnal.. :D

[kwun]

If they are "really" injured, they won't play so fiercely today, won't they :o;)

but that doesn't make sense. wouldn't it be better to give Xie/Zhang the AE win so they can be a more comfortable position?

[badMania]

but that doesn't make sense. wouldn't it be better to give Xie/Zhang the AE win so they can be a more comfortable position?

Don't forget, Zheng Bo/Gao Ling NEED TO DEFEND their 9200 pts from AE title. Further, they HAVE NOT WON a major title since the Japan Open SS back in October 2007 (5 mths of 0 titles for them). Since then, they had "let" Xie/Zhang won in the French Open SF, giving them the necessary pts for Olympics qualification, only to see them losing to Flandy/Vita in the Final.

Further, they lost in tight matches to Sudket/Saralee and Nova/Butet in the last 2 SS of the year, which u watched of course. They badly need a title to shore up their confidence, esp since they also missed out on the 2 SS early this year. Its pretty logical to think that Xie/Zhang will give them the WO so that Team China has a better chance in the Final against Nova/Butet.

[ye333]

So the only reasonable explanation is Xie/Zhang is already discarded. He/Yu is the pair in LYB's plan now. Don't forget Yu Yang comes from the same province as LYB.

He/Yu will go to Indian Open but Xie/Zhang will not. Let's see whether Xie/Zhang will go to ABC. I suspect if later it becomes clear that it's not possible for He/Yu and Xie/Zhang to get into OG together, Xie/zhang will not be allowed to participate ABC.


but that doesn't make sense. wouldn't it be better to give Xie/Zhang the AE win so they can be a more comfortable position?

[Birdwood]

So the only reasonable explanation......

One day you and badMania should make a good pair of writers for baddy mystery and conspiracy novels :D

[eaglehelang]

this fuzzy pair can be next KKK/TBH:)


One day you and badMania should make a good pair of writers for baddy mystery and conspiracy novels :D

Kah kah kah, you watched throughout? Msia MD will be up for tough fights in Semis with one uncle & one fuzzy known for 'nervous' trend.

[badMania]

One day you and badMania should make a good pair of writers for baddy mystery and conspiracy novels :D

Well, at least I am not alone in my view ;)

And...even the BWF reporter shared our thoughts too :o:rolleyes::p

Here's to quote from the BWF website again in case u are too lazy to dig it out: :p;)
"In fact, the contrasting wins has set many a tongue wagging amongst members of the media as a worrying trend is emerging with many withdrawals and walkovers whenever players from the same nationality take to court, heightened by the intense competition for Olympic Games qualifying points."

In fact, the same fans might be cheering for Korea’s Lee Yong Dae- Lee Hyo Jung in the other quarter final, to avoid another all Chinese confrontation and a potential injury in case two Chinese teams are meeting."

Of course, u are free to dismiss the reporter's comments as simply another biased comments or your so called "conspiracy theory" thingy". It's a free world after all.

[Birdwood]

Kah kah kah, you watched throughout? Msia MD will be up for tough fights in Semis with one uncle & one fuzzy known for 'nervous' trend.

I did not watch any doubles, their dazzling plays make me dizzy. The best match seen today was BCL vs TH, hard to predict.

[Birdwood]

No offense, meant to be a joke :D My apology to you and ye333 :)

No hard feeling mate....I just want to further stamp my stand on the issue :p:D

[badMania]

Kah kah kah, you watched throughout? Msia MD will be up for tough fights in Semis with one uncle & one fuzzy known for 'nervous' trend.

Fuzzy looked good just now. Luluk/Alvent were fine until the score was 18-15 in the first set....then, the usual Luluk syndrome began to set in and they fall apart easily as soon as they lost the first set.

[ye333]

Talking about conspiracy theory, there is this guy CTXDYN in www.chinabadminton.com (http://www.chinabadminton.com), he is the god! :D


One day you and badMania should make a good pair of writers for baddy mystery and conspiracy novels :D

[chemile]

It's WO to He Hanbin/Yu Yang!

The same goes for Gao Ling/Zhao Tingting. As widely predicted by many pundits here, Du Jing/Yu Yang obviously get LYB's nod.

Thank's God we won't have any more WO tomorrow as Xie/Zhang lost to Lee/Lee.

Hmm.... so we can see 'fair' play today, that's good. How about LD vs BCL, is it potential WO as well, or because both of them are enter to OG already, then LYB will let them fight.......Tricky..tricky....

[Winston_T]

I just checked the tournamentsoftware, and
Bao Chun Lai win against Taufik.
I'm delighted with this result.

[je5s1ca]

I have confusion with tomorrow schedules...It says that court two will start at 2 pm and long break until 7 pm...
However, there is no schedules for court 1. It just says 3. Mens Double (MK/HS against Fuzzy), then followed by Lee Chong Wei's game, then the last one will be WD....
but not time schedules yet....are they waiting of the conformation of another 'walk over' or 'injury'
btw that live-streaming is evil! now when the game has finished my live streaming worked! and the only thing that i can see people start cleaning the carpet lol

[Birdwood]

No hard feeling mate....I just want to further stamp my stand on the issue :p:D

Unfortunately, not many want to take on your offer to debate the issue further, you might just well declare victory for good. As you said yesterday, WO is part of the game. No one likes WO, and from the bottom of our heart, we all know what they are. But what else you can do besides making some noises? Very little, so apparently, we have to live with it until the rules get changed. Unless you have any better suggestions for fixing the problem?

[badMania]

Talking about conspiracy theory, there is this guy CTXDYN in www.chinabadminton.com (http://www.chinabadminton.com), he is the god! :D

Psst: he's a member of BC too :p
He's the guy who always post the team ranking stuffs....

[badMania]

Unfortunately, not many want to take on your offer to debate the issue further, you might just well declare victory for good. ?

U haven't seen the "real" debates at chinabadminton.com :p Go and have a look ;) Many of those ppl u will recognize here too (but not me though since I am just an onlooker there...hehe :D:rolleyes:)

Besides, I am not a good debater anyway :o

[skchen]

Taufik doesn't belong to the "big 4", he still have quite some distance to go. I think be hardly qualify as top 8 with his current form.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

TH needs 'health supplements' to boost his energy just like the Chinese. He is only 26 years old whereas Kenneth Johanssen is 33 years old and still plays pretty well and ranks in the top 8. He has reached the QFs in many tournaments and sometimes the SFs. Maybe KJ and PG (also 32+ years) could give TH some health tips.

:):):):):)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

[xsakurax]

haiz another ms semi final is between lin dan and bcl again...i wonder who will win this time?:D:D

I dont think Birdwood can read Chinese, like me also, banana people.

Oh? Indonesia Semi veteran also got syndrome? Well... Fuzzy are up against your heros today, hope the 'nervous at crucial points' one can hold out. Pity if Zakry aka Courageous Shortie have to pull them thru the match.

Uncles will be looking for revenge from the Koreans, same syndrome with uncle CTF, though being an 'uncle', les pronounced than Fuzzy.

[baihaki]

i want to know is it possible taufik to the top 4 before olympic, what condition is that

He has reached the QFs in many tournaments and sometimes the SFs. Maybe KJ and PG (also 32+ years) could give TH some health tips.

The tips is simple, train hard, not hardly train:D

Top man. :D Yes, hope Taufik does not degrade to Hafiz type of training, only for show but not to win.:D

I dont think Birdwood can read Chinese, like me also, banana people.


Why you say that? I was born and raised in China, and I translated two episodes of "Coach Zhao JianHua" for Video Sharing :p

I did not go and read at the other Chinese site because there would be more debates and controversies to ponder. It's already very stressful in BC, but I will read it in a more peaceful time :rolleyes::D

I have confusion with tomorrow schedules...It says that court two will start at 2 pm and long break until 7 pm...
However, there is no schedules for court 1. It just says 3. Mens Double (MK/HS against Fuzzy), then followed by Lee Chong Wei's game, then the last one will be WD....
but not time schedules yet....are they waiting of the conformation of another 'walk over' or 'injury'
btw that live-streaming is evil! now when the game has finished my live streaming worked! and the only thing that i can see people start cleaning the carpet lol

Maybe the other all given walk over..............every one follow LYB style now...its has become a trend........:D:D:D

Talking about conspiracy theory, there is this guy CTXDYN in www.chinabadminton.com (http://www.chinabadminton.com), he is the god! :D


Psst: he's a member of BC too :p
He's the guy who always post the team ranking stuffs....
..cxytdn??:eek:..Well, if he's the "conspiracy theory god" over @ chinabadminton.com, then we have our BC "all-encompassing god" as well...And he's none other than our own cooler...;)...Oh, wait, maybe we should send him & Pemuda to entertain the crowd over there...:rolleyes: :p;)

i want to know is it possible taufik to the top 4 before olympic, what condition is that

Practically, that's IMPOSSIBLE. After watching his game last nite (BCL vs Taufik), he is nowhere near the top four (namely LD, LCW, BCL and CJ). Not to mention his fitness, but his "killing jumping smashes" are not longer a big threat. Take my words, he wont be in OG08 podium :rolleyes:

[Tommy Susanto]

LCW is big favourite against KJ. However if LCW is having a bad day KJ might take it since his also playing for a 4th seeding spot in the olympics. However I think LCW is to fast for him.

All my wishes goes to that the MD pair and XD pair from China will be knocked out of the tournament asap so we wont see China succeeding in this unsportly strategic game.

Morten, can you be a little bold and adventurous, then your posts can be more colourful and interesting:cool:
