HOW DO I GET 2 PAGE 16 AND POST 250 I AM ON PAGE 15 ND POST 249:):):):)

[abedeng]

Another long rally and Pi loses, unable to bring the racquethead to strike the shuttle clean.

[abedeng]

Pi getting less accurate as she gets fatigued .....

[cooler]

Jiang's judgement is not sound, and this spells possible downfall of big PAWers.no worry. zhang ning wont let that happen:D:p

[abedeng]

Pi is walking kinda funny now, onset of cramps perhaps?

[abedeng]

Pi forces Jiang to bow to her exquisite net shots.

[abedeng]

Zhang Ning is emotionless while giving instructions to JYJ.

[cooler]

Zhang Ning is emotionless while giving instructions to JYJ.where r u guys watching all this:confused::crying:


what's happening to jyj? pi picked up speed

[abedeng]

Zhang Ning looks at the sky, thinking that she could have done better if she were on court .....

Pi gets ever closer. PAWers in critical condition.

[tommy_bun]

Cmon Jiang dont let de javu of ur match vs tine happen

[abedeng]

More doubts on JYJ's mind as she sends the dropshot to net ........

[tommy_bun]

You have made great run by beating Xie XF,you have to make it final Jiang

[abedeng]

Pi levels with 6 straight pts ......

[singhzico]

You have made great run by beating Xie XF,you have to make it final Jiang

[singhzico]

JYJ gets a reprieve. 2 gamepts from Pi's sloppy play.

[abedeng]

Delayed start to 3rd game as Pi takes time to bandage her wrist.

[singhzico]

Delayed start to 3rd game as Pi takes time to bandage her wrist.
IS THAT A BAD SIGN OR A PLOY 2 TRICK HER OPPONENT:):):):)

[abedeng]

Pi motionless on court, luckily the shuttle landed out.

[abedeng]

IS THAT A BAD SIGN OR A PLOY 2 TRICK HER OPPONENT:):):):)

[abedeng]

Another PHY perfect netshot, JYJ bows in respect and deference.

[singhzico]

let say,... my neighbor is superman:cool:
WHERE IS YR NEIGHBOUR?:cool::cool::):):):)

[abedeng]

The crowd is working against the big PAWers, lifting Pi's spirits.

[abedeng]

Short lifts are getting more frequent, so do stuck dropshots.

[abedeng]

Perfect attacking clear from JYJ, Pi already moving to forecourt.

[abedeng]

First significant break for JYJ, 3 pts clear.

Messes it with a long serve.

[abedeng]

PHY back level, no thanks to JYJ's errors.

[abedeng]

The linejudge was unsighted, pt will be replayed.

[ctjcad]

..pt will be replayed??..i think the LJ must be falling asleep as well..

[abedeng]

Another long rally and eventually Pi was stranded at the baseline.

[cooler]

The linejudge was unsighted, pt will be replayed.
probably staring at the players

[singhzico]

PHY back level, no thanks to JYJ's errors.
SHE BETTER WIN:):):):)

[abedeng]

JYJ got lucky with the netcord, cruel for Pi.

[abedeng]

..pt will be replayed??..i think the LJ must be falling asleep as well..

Naah, this is quite an interesting match, better quality than the last two ....

[tommy_bun]

SHE BETTER WIN:):):):)
Jiang will win and take on Yihan:p:D:p:D:p

[abedeng]

JYJ gets another significant break of 3 pts, Pi failing to clip the line.

[cooler]

jyj is pulling away.
pi is poop out?

[abedeng]

JYJ stares at the linejudge who called her shot out.

[abedeng]

JYJ whacks to Pi's body.

[abedeng]

PAWers about to celebrate with JYJ holding 5 matchpts.

[tommy_bun]

1 more Jiang........make me breathe easily

[singhzico]

PAWers about to celebrate with JYJ holding 5 matchpts.

[cooler]

JYJ stares at the linejudge who called her shot out.

20-16 for jyj.

jyj wins 21-16..

as i said, no worry.

[tommy_bun]

Finally my Jiang2 can make it
Dont waste ur chance 2morrow Jiang

[abedeng]

That netcord shot from JYJ was the turning point, broke Pi's resistance after being all square.

After that, a couple of missed shots at the sideline gave Jiang enough buffer to take it home.

[cooler]

Finally my Jiang2 can make it
Dont waste ur chance 2morrow Jiang

[abedeng]

Jorgensen asking to change his shoes ....

[Noridayu]

Leading 10-8 now.

[abedeng]

A smash to Jorgensen's forehand brings interval.

[abedeng]

So far Jorgensen's new shoes haven't contributed any point to him.

[Noridayu]

[abedeng]

Even Gill Clark comments that changing his shoes is quite unlucky.

[abedeng]

Exquisite net exchanges and LCW dumps a loose return.

[Noridayu]

[abedeng]

LCW with 8 pts to spare at the break.

Meanwhile, LCW must be thinking to himself now, "Hmm, i wish if my match tomorrow will be this easy"...hmmmm..http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/23.gif

[abedeng]

JJ shows some brilliant rallies to reduce the deficit.

[abedeng]

LCW's smash too steep for Jorgensen.

[youngman]

To those who can't watch live, try Tvants (PC)and look for Basel TV.

[abedeng]

JJ quick counterattack, closes to 4.

[Noridayu]

Leading 14-10 now.

[abedeng]

LCW just relaxing a bit, giving JJ some cheap pts.

[tornera]

[abedeng]

LCW goes to higher gear with 4 quick pts.

[hcpoirot]

What is LCW doing? 13-4 in second set. A 9 point lead and he lost in second set.

Even if he manage to win this third set, he will be a little tired and had to play LD tomorrow. No chance of winning the title at all.

[tornera]

Will anybody be willing to upload it afterwards? pleeeeeeeease!

[abedeng]

No more time to play, and LCW whacks pt no 6.

[Noridayu]

Bullet train leading 7-0 now.

[abedeng]

What is LCW doing? 13-4 in second set. A 9 point lead and he lost in second set.

Even if he manage to win this third set, he will be a little tired and had to play LD tomorrow. No chance of winning the title at all.

He does this quite a few times. Last time was SS Finals against Chan Yan Kit. I am not fond of it myself but this is what he is, sometimes.

[abedeng]

JJ's feeling his injury.

[Noridayu]

Leading 9-4 now.

[2cents]

What is LCW doing? 13-4 in second set. A 9 point lead and he lost in second set.

Even if he manage to win this third set, he will be a little tired and had to play LD tomorrow. No chance of winning the title at all.

this reminds me the match between Rine vs Jiang YJ.

Like LCW, Yang YJ won the 1st game easily, and leading 14-4 in the 2nd game, but Rine managed to rally from behind.

[lawcc]

JJ's feeling his injury.

[Noridayu]

Leading 16-8 now.

[abedeng]

Again, JJ is stranded after sending in a crosscourt drive.

[ctjcad]

LCW is upset after losing the 2nd game and is running away as fast as possible to close this match..

Although maybe LCW is a "nice guy" afterall, giving 1 game to JOJ.;)

[Noridayu]

Leading 17-8 now.

[cooler]

..but i thought them Swiss love their badminton??..

Meanwhile, LCW must be thinking to himself now, "Hmm, i wish if my match tomorrow will be this easy"...hmmmm..http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/23.gifmaybe in the 2nd set, lcw did do that, loss concentration and lost to JJ.

[abedeng]

Unbelievable net return.

[Noridayu]

Leading 19-9 now.

[abedeng]

Finally LCW wins in 3.

Maybe he wanted to play to about as long as LD vs CJ match.

[Noridayu]

LCW makes it to the final 21-9. Well done, LCW! All the best to you tomorrow. Malaysian will be behind you tomorrow.

[lawcc]

LCW is upset after losing the 2nd game and is running away as fast as possible to close this match..

[kwun]

[hcpoirot]

Turn out the Koreans also adapt LYB tactic. muahahaha

[eRa@에라]

I officially declare, with the support of LCW fans, that the runner-up specialist be awarded to.....(drum roll)... to LCW. I'm sure BCL is so glad to give up this special recognition.


Wah, still achievement what? See anyone going to final consistently? oh, besides LD of course :p ... that kinda fighting spirit even BCL doesn't manage to keep so long as LD is cruising in the badminton arena (no offense dear BCL fans :D) ... :D

[eRa@에라]

If anyone wants to know who defined him that, maybe a read in the "What is still lacking in LCW? " thread might be a good read.;)

Btw, the KOR juniors are trying to extend the match to accommodate the Swiss' fans love for baddy..much closer 2nd game.

[koo_fan]

Now, kkk/tbh....Rule the game!
Don't miss anything.

[Noridayu]

KKK and TBH will be playing soon. All the best of luck to them!

[abedeng]

Boring game, but at least it's fast and most importantly, pays dividents to safe PAWers.

[cooler]

[abedeng]

FHF great interception.

[cooler]

Great final rally with FHF changing his racquet in the middle of the rally. But MAS win it to take the 1st game.he broke his string?

[abedeng]

Brilliant baseline placement by Tan

[Noridayu]

FHF smashes to net and MAS have 3 pt advantage at midgame interval.

[Noridayu]

Leading 11-8 in interval.

[lawcc]

[abedeng]

FHF's defence is suspect.

[jutawin]

KKK/TBH, you can make it to final..

[Noridayu]

[abedeng]

FHF rushes for the kill but pushes it long.
