[huangkwokhau]

Surely INA is not afraid to meet MAS in the semis? :D
INA prefers MAS or DEN. not KOR...China prefers MAS or DEN, not KOR too...:D:D

[badMania]

INA 3 vs ENG 1 as Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii easily beat Jennifer Wallwork/Gabrielle White 21-15, 21-7. So, a place in the SF confirmed for Team INA.

In the last match, Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir vs Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg.

[huangkwokhau]

[huangkwokhau]

Yep...he is there.....

[lim'zzz]

Indonesia reserved one place in SF....Yippiy...
Nitya/Greysia 21-15 21-6
it's not absolutely,if China team played their strategy n they let Japan team win 5:0,then japan team beat england team with 3:2,and China team can beat Indonesia team with 5:0 score,japan will take SF place,is it right?hope it won't happen...

[huangkwokhau]

wow..so easy 21-10 in 2nd set

[huangkwokhau]

Nova/Butet defeated Clark/Kellog 21-15,21-10...INA 4-1

[badMania]

INA 4 vs JPN 1 as Nova Widianto/Liliyana Natsir beat one of their arch-rival Anthony Clark/Donna Kellogg 21-15, 21-10. Team INA is the first-team to make it to the SF.

[Jagdpanther]

The chance of Team China doing this is no different than the chance I'm having Miss Universe as my gf!
:D

[tommy_bun]

I think China will not be that fool to let japan beat them by 5:0, even China itself is not sure enough if they can beat Ina 5:0...this is just to risky

Yes..possible..but I could not imagine if CHN loses to JPN 5-0...why? Chinese people cant take it and may ask LYB to step down...:D......but no way..CHN people will let Japan humiliate CHN ( eventhough CHN team purposely loses to JPN and CHN media wont take it)..plus dont think CHN can beat INA surely 5-0.....may be 4-1 or even 3-2

[Jagdpanther]

I think Clark is tired............after a long and tiring MD
Maybe ENG strategists thought Clark/Blair could take out Bona/Ahsan in easy 2-sets? :p

[badMania]

LOL...CHN to get beaten by JPN 0-5???? That's the most absurb prediction ever. There's no way CHN going to let their arch-enemy in almost every aspect to humiliate them in front of their home crowd.

[lim'zzz]

I think China will not be that fool to let japan beat them by 5:0, even China itself is not sure enough if they can beat Ina 5:0...this is just to risky
i think so...but who knows?i think China team prefer japan team take the SF than Indonesia team...and if indonesia team can take 1 score from MD,the 3 country score is 9...how to choose the winner?in MS lin dan vs sony,WS so many players from china team and indonesia team only depend on MKY,MD and XD the percentage 50:50,and WD i think china team will take it...

[AlanY]

well, you beat me to it. i think the chinese team rather been skinned alive than lose to japan, on propose or not!

[llpjlau]

well, you beat me to it. i think the chinese team rather been skinned alive than lose to japan, on propose or not!

would be a good chance to see Lin Dan playing doubles. has anyone ever seen that?

[jutawin]

would be a good chance to see Lin Dan playing doubles. has anyone ever seen that?

Maybe Lin Dan playing XD partner with XXF..

[AChan]

:(Poor Wong Pei Xian of Malaysia seems to tear her left knee tendon during the LS game with Yip Pui Yin.

[F-38-I]

Congrat to INA & MAS team! I really wanna see LD play double (after TH did it).

[Wong8Egg]

Congrat to INA & MAS team! I really wanna see LD play double (after TH did it).

If China fill against Japan.

MS: FHF
MD: CJ & BCL
WS: YY
WD: WYH & WL
XD: XXF & LD

Guess who will win?? :D

[cooler]

:(Poor Wong Pei Xian of Malaysia seems to tear her left knee tendon during the LS game with Yip Pui Yin.



Malaysia's Wong Pei Xian grimaces in pain during the women's single preliminary match against Hong Kong's Yip Pui Yin at the Sudirman Cup World Team Badminton Championships at Guangzhou Gymnasium. Malaysia made up for the disappointment of losing to Korea on the opening day and Indonesia confirmed their status as one of the prime threats to China at the Sudirman Cup.

[limsy]

i doubt it

ms,md and wd for malaysia..

ws and xd...interesting match....

even ina bcer have more confident in mas squad compare to those mas bcer?:rolleyes:
such a pity nation


Now, now limsy, don't bring your nightmares to us. ;)

As I have said, HKG will pay the price for not fielding ZM or WC in WS and they make yet another mistake for putting WC in WD! LCW must not slip up to ensure a point for MAS. :D

haha,but alany didnt think so;)


MAS has 1 certain point in MS and HKG has 2 points in the bag for XD & WD. The other 2 will be 50-50. All in all, HKG has the upperhand thus afford to rest the top 2 WS.

maybe mas need to ask lcw to play in xd,md and ms:crying:


Then, it'll be even worse nightmare than the 2007 lost to England.


haha,uncle sam say mas is easy meat to everybody;)


And the Danes will surely lost to MAS 0-5 ;)

:eek:,unbelieveable
mas to lost 5-0.then play in play off with japan/england
then lost and drop to division 2;)



Now I must confess that the second game is turning into an impressive fightback by HKG. But will it be enough to stretch MAS to a rubber? :eek:

I'm a bit slow and the MD match is finished. MAS must have won by a narrow margin. Sorry AlanY.

haiya,they always there and never up level acording to the comnment below;)
to those that lost to this pair,a kind advise: please revise about ur career when u lost to someone never improve:cool:


Koo/Tan games still stuck at the same level and never improved at all.


Yippy is helping Julia to get up. Tan CS was caught laughing at the player's area.

I don't think Julia can continue...

Match#4 was awarded to HKG.

hope she wont suffer like what wmc had for years:crying:


Now the MAS/HKG WD match finally begins ... :p

I'd say MAS has more than 50% chance to win the match. Any takers? :D

mas wd luckily won the game,so as xd match,blame luck:mad::rolleyes:


Yup.The weather is damn hot over there at Phuket :mad:
I missed the match between MAS vs KOR :(

nah,uncle sam,dont bluff lar,u already know mas will lost,sure u wont want to watch:p
or u want to see how lousy mas is?:rolleyes::p


Wah, HKG leading 6-5 in the rubber! :eek:

And now extended to 9-5 ... wake up MAS!

Now 5 points apart at 11-6 ... interval. Rexy must do something to turn the tide...

Narrowing but still behid 9-12 ...10-13... now catching up 12-13 ... Jess are you still following?

Caught up 13-all ... but HKG now takes the initiative at 14-13... MAS levelled and now serving ...

MAS leads now at 15-14 ... phew very close ... but MAS scored another point to make it 16-14 ... now the crucial 17 before HKG is making a determined comeback 15-18 .. but it may be a little too late to overtake MAS ...

And now the time is near and its the end for HKG without scoring another point 21-15...

Sorry again, AlayY, but your hopes are gone...

haiya,why the fave of this match will lost?umpire helping mas wd?or line judges?:mad::rolleyes:


MAS will be an easy meat for everybody :o

agree,such a pity and shame
shouldnt send the squad there using the excuse:swine flu:mad:;)
expect mas to lost tomorow tie with 0-5:rolleyes:

[ctjcad]

Haa, just saw Lauren Todt on camera ..... she looked a bit more muscular now since we last met her at the Thomas/Uber Finals in Jakarta.
..Lauren has been playing in the Denmark league for a few months prior to the SC. As a matter of fact, she might've only stopped by U.S. briefly before heading out to Guangzhou (w/the U.S. squad). After this SC, she'll be back to the states and then continue her stint in the Denmark league in August (most likely after competing in the U.S. Open).

I think MAS would take it easily.
..yep, pretty much easy breezy for them. Although i didn't know who were going to represent HK and if they were going by that playing order. Even CEH & WPT had to grind through 3 games.
On that note, i think M'sia's tie vs. HK should be their easiest.;)

Congratulation to INDONESIA..
Kalian Bisa..

[Loh]

Congratulation to INDONESIA..
Kalian Bisa..

Is 'bisa' the same as 'boleh'? ;)

[Loh]

Yes..possible..but I could not imagine if CHN loses to JPN 5-0...why? Chinese people cant take it and may ask LYB to step down...:D......but no way..CHN people will let Japan humiliate CHN ( eventhough CHN team purposely loses to JPN and CHN media wont take it)..plus dont think CHN can beat INA surely 5-0.....may be 4-1 or even 3-2

With a little bit of luck, INA may be able to beat CHN 3-2 ... No? ;)

Just see what happens to Julia Wong who was leading Yippy before she injured her ankle! :(

[jasonmarc]

Is 'bisa' the same as 'boleh'? ;)

Yes, in Indonesian word 'Bisa' means 'Boleh'....

But 'Bisa' in Malay word means 'poison' or 'pain'.......;)

[jasonmarc]

Just see what happens to Julia Wong who was leading Yippy before she injured her ankle! :(

INA have possible points from MD and XD....

WS still a maybe....if MKY plays well....

WD and MS.........are for Chn...

So, its quite even......like Uncle Loh said,.....with some luck....INA can do it...

[Loh]

Yes, in Indonesian word 'Bisa' means 'Boleh'....

But 'Bisa' in Malay word means 'poison' or 'pain'.......;)

Thank you, that's why I got so confused! :D:D:D

[abedeng]

Yes, in Indonesian word 'Bisa' means 'Boleh'....

But 'Bisa' in Malay word means 'poison' or 'pain'.......;)

Err, that's not quite right. "Bisa" in Malaysian Malay is ambiguous, it can mean the same as Indonesian Language (Boleh) as well as "Poison" or "Pain". This depends on how the sentence is structured. But now in regular Malaysian Malay, Bisa is only used for literary works.

Anyway, back on track.

It was interesting seeing Wang Chen playing doubles, a lot of shots confuses the MAS girls because she was using singles angles. But there is cause for concern that the MAS WD aren't fully in sync because Chin Eei Hui is clearly not match fit. And they didn't cope well with those high serves from Wang Chen.

[Dato A]

I think Malaysia team is not 'Bisa', but 'Masak'.....

[Loh]

I think Malaysia team is not 'Bisa', but 'Masak'.....

Masak? Dato don't "pray, pray" lah! :D:D:D

But there is cause for concern that the MAS WD aren't fully in sync because Chin Eei Hui is clearly not match fit. And they didn't cope well with those high serves from Wang Chen.
Implications of a singles player playing doubles:
(1) Since the court to over is smaller, WC is not moving much.
(2) Since the area to place the shuttle is much larger, WC was playing a lot of angled shots.

The only problem for WC is that she doesn't know how to serve short in doubles. It made her look a bit amateurish.

wouldn't any top player be at least reasonably good in all aspects of the game? i have not watched the match, would love to once someone uploads it onto BC. did WC use a high forehand serve each time?

[abedeng]

Yes, she did. And I couldn't understand why the MAS girls didn't attack it from the get go.

[george@chongwei]

hmm, overall good day for mas yesterday
and all the best to them agaisnt denmark on thursday.
come one, beat the danish!:)

[george@chongwei]

by the way, is julia wong injury very serious??
looks serious though as she cries in pain:crying:

[bdfreak]

Yes, she did. And I couldn't understand why the MAS girls didn't attack it from the get go.

what do u mean attack from the get go?wang chen use high serves most of the time. when she use low serve is very obvius the way she prepare for the serve

[abedeng]

That's why MAS girls should have prepared for the high/flick serves. They could have whacked it down and applied pressure, instead there were more clears than straight down hits.

Heard that Julia fly back home this afternoon. Rexy said, Lydia might be called to replace her. Hope she is alright and recover soon.

[copadh]

Where's copadh when u need him :D

sorry, guys...:D
internet connection in tribune was down last night, I went to basement to finish my work...

[eaglehelang]

Heard that Julia fly back home this afternoon. Rexy said, Lydia might be called to replace her. Hope she is alright and recover soon.

According the Msia press, Lydia cant replace Julia cos her name isnt in the SC Team List - I'm not sure how the rules go. Anyway, if Lydia go also most likely she'll be just warming the bench, they'll field WMC.

[cheeyf]

Heard that Julia fly back home this afternoon. Rexy said, Lydia might be called to replace her. Hope she is alright and recover soon.

ya she will fly back mas,not sure bout her injury but she still cant walk. hope she will recover soon. im quite impressed by young hkg chan's defence yday.dono is it because wpt is tired n chin is not match fit,so their attack was not that strong yday. wang chen is a good ws n wd player. but she smile less yday compare when she play w zm.maybe cos yday cheerful zm wasnt playing with her
haha

[copadh]

Just check player list and find out Lydia was not there. Yes, most likely Lydia can't replace Julia. I thought Malaysia already put her on the list even she's not here. Thanks, kak helang

[Zabee]

hope Wong P X injury is not serious....from now Wong M C is our only hope in ws
