[drifit]

[luckyfish]

Juz got Chn vs Mas line up from China's website:

Lin Dan vs LCW
CY/FHF vs KKK/TBH
BCL vs WCH
GZD/XZB vs Zakry/Fairuz
CJ vs Hafiz

LWW/CTF won't be playing. All the best to Mas team.

[sophiaJ]

thank you......

[pauline]

oh my...they decided to drop LWW/CTF???

[ycchen]

how come the line-up is still not put in the tournament software? normally the line-up should be up an hour before the match right? i am curious to see the name for the MD1 and MD2... :)

[sophiaJ]

2nd double will determine it...

[bcmmgr]

Zakry/Fairuz lost to GZD/XZB before ??

[Tjun Tjun]

Ur boss so nice, give u green light to watch TC. But I still have to work for the whole day. But I'm using my office's streamxy to watch livescore. Hope my boss won't find out or else I'll be dead. :D:D:D

Try this trick. Change your name to Chongwei4ever and see if your boss will grant you half day off! He, he, he......:D:D:D

[sophiaJ]

ya sure with it...just read from china's website...
kinda suprise that they drop ctf/lww...

[zqloy]

Zakry/Fairuz lost to GZD/XZB before ??

Badly. During last year's WC :(

[luckyfish]

Maybe Rexy is lack of confident in LWW/CTF. Quite surprising line up. Dunno whether KKK/TBH and Zakry/Fairuz can take it.

LD sometime slow start, LCW better take the 1st set

[Xenoy009]

Let's see if LD can regroup himself...if not in this game, but the next game..

[kwun]

Lin Dan showing some nervousness at the start. making unforced error pushing out or into the net.

Lin Dan, nervous? :O

[robin7]

Great kill by LCW 13-6.

[abedeng]

MAS supporters shout LYB's name.

[robin7]

LD is very uncomfortable. LCW 16-8.

[kwun]

LCW very sharp today.

Rexy walked by in front of us with some parcels in hand.

[robin7]

LCW 18-8. Go go...

[jurong_twister]

"Most users ever online was 1,604, Today at 11:23 PM."

most of them would be bots. if not, your server will surely crash with 1600 concurrent users. :)

[kwun]

Lin Dan, way too many mistakes. time to be whipped by LYB and then come back on 2nd game.

the MS1 is crucial.

what's going on at 11-19? seems to be stuck.

[ctjcad]

we already broke our record:

[simonlovers]

C'mon Malaysia....i hope Ina vs Mas in Final...

[abedeng]

Lin Dan is back in form over the past few rallies, but maybe too late to take game 1

[kwun]

Lin Dan un-force error is very high on game 1, Chong Wei tool game 1 easily

[wilson_ku]

ctjcad (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/member.php?u=6490) thanks for helpings me out

[badMania]

Lin Dan usually wakes up in the second set. So, Lee Chong Wei has to take this one to beat Lin Dan. Otherwise, chances are Lin Dan will take the rubber-set.

[robin7]

LD still looks nervous...

[ctjcad]

live score dead.

12-19 on streaming. Lin Dan net kill.
..kwun, are you watching the TV3 stream??..it's smooth on my end...

[abedeng]

The drift is stronger today, LCW will have to be mindful.

[kungfukid]

Come on Chong WEi!!!!
U r the best!!!
Kick Lin Dan's ass!!!

[kwun]

a very shakey start of the first game by the venerable LD. either nervousness shown or just not used to the drift of the stadium. the latter not an excuse as they have been playing there all week.

let's see how the 2nd game unfolds. LD is certainly going to get a whipping by LYB at the interval.

who's the coach? looks like Tang Xinfu with the signature briefcase by his side. Zhong Bo was sitting at the side.

[madbad]

Internet connection with the stadium is down. Live Score is dead

[mmnoor]

And now the real battle begins....

[kwun]

..kwun, are you watching the TV3 stream??..it's smooth on my end...

i am watching IndoNewyork streaming of CCTV5. also smooth.

[madbad]

LD has found his touch, up 2-0

[robin7]

What a deceptive return by LCW 2-3.

[kwun]

2nd game. LD 2-0 LCW.

GO LIN DAN!! GO CHINA!

[wilson_ku]

BC turned into a chatroom in this thread

[mmnoor]

Has the dragon awaken??

[madbad]

i am watching IndoNewyork streaming of CCTV5. also smooth.

TV3 Stream has Gillian Clark as co-commentator

[mmnoor]

Seems like LD is gonna give LCW a long hard set....

[robin7]

LCW is playing too carefully at this moment.

[kwun]

"Most users ever online was 1,834, Today at 11:33 PM."

[madbad]

LCW is playing too carefully at this moment.

Even Gillian said that!

[robin7]

What a drop by LCW 4-6.

[kwun]

LD finally awoken from afternoon nap. LD 6-2 LCW

[mmnoor]

Lets see if we can beat 1900 users...

[madbad]

LCW experiences the pain of the drift

[robin7]

Smash down the line by LCW 5-6.

Into the net by LD. 6-all.

[abedeng]

Wish I could hear what Gillian Clark was saying .....

[badMania]

Lee Chong Wei needs to work hard to ensure he regains the advantage in the second set because Lin Dan will have the edge here, as shown in the early exchanges. Lin Dan 5 Lee Chong Wei 2.

[madbad]

LCW is more aggressive and now trails by 1

[badMania]

LCW experiences the pain of the drift

Exactly....Lin Dan is easily ahead 6-2 now, with mostly unforced errors from the MAS player.

[kwun]

6-6 on my live stream.

LD fell asleep for 2 pts.

[robin7]

8-all. LCW has to be more aggressive.

[mmnoor]

That return by LD is really amazing

[kwun]

awesome retrieve by LD after LCW net kill attempt fell south.
7-6

[robin7]

Return long by LD. LCW 9-8.

[badMania]

A nice dropshot by LCW, as he trims the lead to 4-6.

[demolidor]

LCW, LCW, LCW!!

[kwun]

is it me or the drift really visible.

i see both Misbun and Rexy sitting courtside, but not together??

[robin7]

What a rally. 10-all.

[badMania]

4 quick pts by LCW as Lin Dan's return went to the net. 6-6.
Lin Dan edges ahead again with an accurate long return to the back of the court.
Another accurate long return just on the line makes it 8-6.

[kwun]

Lin Dan, too many errors. net drop into net, lift out, etc. etc.

LCW 10-8 LD now.
10-9

Lin Dan's defence is a bit shaky, on the other hand, LCW's sideway crosscourt drops are not finding their range.

Rexy is hardly going to do the singles coaching, thought he was standing on the sideline/ where the rest of the team is ...

[felix929]

The chance of Malaysia winning just skyrocketed

[stork]

very good start for MAS and a lot of pressure for FHF and CY... it feels like MAS have an advantage now...

[robin7]

LD was on tremendous pressure.. KKK/TBH must be so bumped up to take on CY/FHF.

[vching]

LEE CHONG WEI!!!!

aku CINTA KAU!!!

[abedeng]

Lin Dan showed only glimpses of his form today. Not the best match between the top two.

MAS lead 1-0.

[kungfukid]

Bravo Chong Wei!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Malaysia Boleh!!!!!!!!!

[gendruw]

nice play LCW! looking for MAS vs INA in final :D

[kwun]

Lee Chong Wei (MAS) beat Lin Dan (CHN) 21-12 / 21-12

a pretty poor display by the Chinese 1st singles. showing both a lot of mistakes but mostly a lack of fighting spirit. He seems quite slow and lost most of the match.

congrats to LCW for taking the first point for China.

China will face an uphill battle against Malaysia now.

LCW played brilliantly and LD made too many errors. I hope MAS MD can steal 2 points. Then my dream will come true: INA vs MAS in final :) Long live rivalry

[Smichz]

Can MAS beat CHINA today?So that MAS n INA can meet again in the final,like the old days!!..CMON MAS!!!

[abedeng]

The, ahem, bunch of neutral INA supporters congratulate LCW and take pics with him.

[Han]

Wow, never see Chong Wei played that focus before, you can see the determination and on the contrary, Lin Dan seemed lost. I think Lin Dan was not able to read Chong Wei plays hence unable to stood firm to setup for his power smash.
Bravo Chong Wei and bravo Misbun!

[weekey]

I am so jealous that you guys can watch the game, while I have to stay in office.

[Tjun Tjun]
