Lin Dan still using AT700?

can wmc create a miracle? ;) Boleh?

looks like it. ;) how come they play mens doubles first? funny. ;)

so with hope of winning small but not mathematically impossible. will KKK/TBH fight like a tiger or give up like little cats??

can wmc create a miracle? ;) Boleh?
done before, just whether can repeat or not?

Some kind of dispute over the shuttle, Chinese pair claims it's not up to standard.

kkk got youth on his side. shd capitalize by getting the shots in and less mistakes. ;)

seems like shuttle speed issue?

:D
shuttles too slow for the mens double!

Not THAT much of a shock to say 'WTF' is it?

A:I thought she was still a pro player:mad:
B:Her make-up is awkward for me:o

shuttles lousy ka??? WTF... hehe... ;)

no wonder LCW lost!!!!

China thinks it is too slow.

time to hit the gym more, Cai Yun? ;)

so i guess decided it was too slow. referee brought in faster shuttles.

now everything is going be OUT! :D

koo kien keat is using frottee grip right?

TBH dont' look very awake.

Garh Sopcast just played up on me. Now it says channel CCTV5 is offline T_T

MAS gain ground with relentless attack, Chinese defence kinda weak.

MAS 6-3 CHN.

MAS seems to be in spirit.

MAS gain ground with relentless attack, Chinese defence kinda weak.

should've left the shuttle alone. :)

i hope mas win this md!! i am great fan of koo kien keat and tan boon heong
and currently they do their job very well and china get nervous!

Chinese for Malaysians to lift.

ok...now china is coming^^

Malaysians slip, must be Lin Dan's perspiration. They lead only by a point at the break.

MAS team also brought their own YONEX branded thunderstick. they wouldn't want to be caught on TV using Li-Ning branded one.

i think kkk improved his smash!

good attack from MAS. nice grunt too. haven't heard grunting for a while.

Fu outplays Koo at frontcourt.

It seem LI Ning better then Yonex today match:D

Lin Dan beat Lee Chong Wei.

Jia you Malaysia!

awesome exchange of offense by both side. rally ends with CY net into the net.

wow.. good defence from msia...

I just got a sms from macpherson cc. open. closing 21st may.

They level! COME ON KIEN KEAT/BOON HEONG!

MAS regain initiative at critical pts.

Great rally won by CHN.

nice smash angle from TBH.

wow.. mas revival.. ;)

Worship at Malaysian attacks

that's awesome MD badminton.

kkk fooling around. ;)

how can the whole stadium be hitting the thundersticks in such unison?

i want to see MAS win, actually. want to watch some WS.

Come on KKK/TBH win this MD and hope for ladies to enter final vs korea again

so close,so good

a good whip from tbh. ;)

FHF looks more sleepy than TBH ........ :P
1st game to MAS pair

yeaaaaaaah baby :D

MAS wins game 1 narrowly, should have been comfortable after leading so far in the early stages.

Great KKK won first set:D 21 - 19

Sopcast died on me. Any other avenue to watch?

which shoes are mas wearing?

20-19 MAS game point.


and they take it!

MAS 21-19 CHN

wow kkk not bad. ;) Boleh. ;)

Set point for Malaysia

Koo and Rexy trade high 5 after that raly.

Group CHN 2:0 MAS

MD, MAS win the first round.

@ vching
try out TVAnts. they also broadcast cctv5

MAS MD is on fire...

glad they could steal a game. will be better if they could steal a match...

Fu playing horribly bad!!!! ZZZZZZ

http://www.3dflags.com/art/comps/mys0001/3dflags_mys0001-0003a.gif?1190217972

that was a cheeky cross court by KKK.

Sopcast died on me. Any other avenue to watch?


TVant or CCTV official website and download a software:cctv box

arrogant but cooool ;)

FHF looks more sleepy than TBH ........ :P
1st game to MAS pair

hmm, how come so many sleepy one? Waited very long for tie to start?
Just now Fairuz also look like just wake up, but then again, Fairuz always have that fuzzy blurry look, today more so.:p

TBH great elevation on the smash.

Fu whacks hard and MAS clear out.

...MAS MD playing loosey goosey, nothing to lose....
Sopcast is still on, hasn't died yet...still smooth, at least on my end..

I have a feeling China will lose this double match:scary:

that's some beautiful air that TBH is getting.

Malaysian attack omg

kkk diam lah.... make too much noise. ;)

KKK enjoying the match with fancy shots and grunt.

CHN all business and kills it off on the first try.

KKK shouting like a crazy monkey every shot

Come on KKK/TBH, add oil, steal a point from CHina.
Then I can watch WMC aka choo2 play.:D:D

hmm, how come so many sleepy one? Waited very long for tie to start?
Just now Fairuz also look like just wake up, but then again, Fairuz always have that fuzzy blurry look, today more so.:p
waited too long for LD vs LCW :p:D

TBH still using Ti-10 1st gen. broke a string.

Just checked the scoreboard..
KORs advance as expected....CHN in the lead, maybe will give this match..Should be a great Final tomorrow..LD exorcised his recent defeat to LCW in the Swiss Open SS, missed that earlier MS match...

KKK shouting like a crazy monkey every shot

they lose everytime he shouts.

Cai Yun playing awesomely

http://www.3dflags.com/art/comps/mys0001/3dflags_mys0001-0003a.gif?1190217972

Now it is malaysia who play catchup, but Chinese go to the break 3 pts up.

i really like this match. i have to remember all england open 2007 MDF!!! great match, too

KKK using Ns9900......

tbh shd follow thro.. ;)

sopcast' cctv offline..-_-"

no!! ti-10 is much better ;)

I hope MAS win this match, want to see the WS match..
kwun, how many glasses of coffee have you drank??..:p..

Fu can really make intelligent plays and horrible errors.

now kkk quite can win better. hehe;)

Sopcast is still on, CCTV5 still broadcasting...if not use the link kwun gave..

mas team shirts are better than 2007 but still not soo nice...

no more fancy shots from KKK now that they are trailing 3 pts.

hahahahah. sleeping.. ;)

Sopcast is still on, CCTV5 still broadcasting...if not use the link kwun gave..

none. just alarm clock and some fanaticism with badminton.

Gillian mentioned that LYB complaints abt the new default order of play not favoring CHN which has the weakest MD dept. WTF!

Koo fails to defend his body.

..hah, Cai and Fu relaxed and became non-chalant after they thought the play was dead only to gift one to the MAS (a funny sequence)..big lead for CHN, ready to force rubber game..

robin7 are you recording? i really would like to watch the match with english comments..

open with IE:

http://www.badmintoncentral.com/streaming/cctv5.html

Its offline for me... :(

Confusion in Chinese ranks.

18-13 now.

time to play serious.

awesome badminton.
awesome badminton.

its been a long time i've never seen this type of good attacking from msian. ;)

Chinese force rubber with a barrage of attacks.

none. just alarm clock and some fanaticism with badminton.
..hah, propz!!:cool:

A wonderful sequence of defense from Fu ends with an easy kill for the MAS..Rubber game is up, let's see if Ah Koo & Ah Tan still have something to win the 3rd game..

rubber game it is.. ;)

Did u guys see that replay? KKK was showing his middle finger to his racket after losing a pt.

Md, Chn 1:1 Mas

Did u guys see that replay? KKK was showing his middle finger to his racket after losing a pt.

missed it.

but yeah, blame the racket...

good advertise for yonex :-D

KKK is playing quite poorly tonite...crap...lots of silly mistakes n slow movement

Fu only needs one invitation to hit home.

robin7 are you recording? i really would like to watch the match with english comments..
No. I don't know how to with Astro.

Did u guys see that replay? KKK was showing his middle finger to his racket after losing a pt.

haha i thought so too. i was thinking.. "victory sign"?

too bad..but i hope someone else will do.. :)

matter of time he will use lining. ;)

MAS pair keeps giving lifts to Fu & Cai...Gotta play more flat/drive game, lessen the lifts..CHN on the offensive a lot, attacks after attacks..

i do not like kkk's attitude of playing this match

...this rubber game

Come on! I want to see (on livescore) Mew Choo's name

third racket for tan boon heong...

kkk got over excited with that shot... ;)

Chinese power gives 4 pt advantage at midgame.

http://www.3dflags.com/art/comps/mys0001/3dflags_mys0001-0003a.gif?1190217972

the young folks just went out of steam... ;)

nice flag.... got music or not? ;)

KKK is having too much fun.....keep fooling around.......haiz...

I have a bad feeling about this. Malaysia is going to pack their bags and go home in a few minutes time...

last chance for KKK to make it right

Not looking good for MAS...

Fu's shoes really stand out on court.

from the way things r going, MAS will lose...-_-

Better sequence of attacks from MAS the last couple of pts, setting up their attacks..But loose return from Ah Tan..A sequence of netted play..CHN 14-10..

Great MAS defensive rally

http://www.3dflags.com/art/comps/mys0001/3dflags_mys0001-0003a.gif?1190217972http://www.3dflags.com/art/comps/mys0001/3dflags_mys0001-0003a.gif?1190217972http://www.3dflags.com/art/comps/mys0001/3dflags_mys0001-0003a.gif?1190217972

Malaysia gonna looose..

good whip by both side. This is what extreme power is all about. ;) Cool. ;)

Another excellent rally, both pairs at their best.

Nice little rally and setup from KKK as Ah Tan sends one down..CHN 14-12..Long flat drive from CHN, CHN 14-13..KKK can't guide the smash, just wide, CHN 15-13..

CHn 14-13 MAS.

very good. very good.

Wang Lin seems to be enjoying her thunderstick.

Cai Yun caught unprepared and MAS are level

Malaysia gonna looose..

Cool victor, cheer louder! :D Cos i wanna watch WMC play ;)

wow another good really. can this be on youtube? I wanna put on my site. ;)

signature MAS defense is impeccable.

Book book book (read in Chinese)

Koo and Tan cannot do anything right at the correct moments, both in game and in history.

15-all

let MAS win this battle. China will still win the war.

I am enjoying this match. The only thing that would make it better is if there were less careless errors.

commentator on KKK's trick shots:

totally unneccessary.

KKK is a bloody showoff.

TBH looks like he is high on drugs.

China is so going to win this one (*snicker*)

i think there will be an overtime... 25-23 or something like that...

wow played like all england champ. ;)

Calm, perfect placement from Koo.

getting late..better finished off early!

hehe...

ZHUNG GUO DUI, JIA YOU!!!

18-18.

let this go up to 30!

is anyone having heart attack?

Great crosscourt attack from Fu.

Ah Koo makes amend, MAS targeting Ah Cai...MAS lead 18-17..Both Ah Koo & Ah Tan taking their time...Too much time as CHN capitalize..18 all..

19-19!

KKK can block FHF's jumpsmash right in front of CY. pretty beatiful control there.

Balik kampung! We have match point! M'sia can pack bag and balik kampung!

ZHUNG GUO DUI, JIAYOU!

they shd have extra time like football. exciting matches shd not end this way. hehe ;)

Ah Tan out of reach after Fu's x-court drive..19 all..Everyone takes a deep breath..20 all..Great match, both pairs are pretty much even..LYB giving all kinds of hands & arms gestures..

Boon Heong is too inexperienced - he cannot handle the pressure!

CHN to final........!

zHUNG GUO DUI! JIA YOU!!

too much pressure for both team!
CH had 3 match pt already!

misunderstadning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..........................................

M'sia oh M'sia.

even TBH smiled on that one. a flick serve with weak return, but china side confusion and hit it out.

well.... malaysia sucks... hehe

Fu & Cai got a bit confused after a loose high lift and send it wide...CHN answers back, match pt 22-21..

we want to see 30-29!!!!!

Chinese win it on their 3rd attempt, a very good but sometimes comical battle.

3-0 balik kampung. enjoy lah... pressure for china. ;)

nonetheless, great great games from both pairs!
congrats to Chn team

mas could win this. but kkk is not a serious player...

i predict CHN to win in final. 3:0 vs KOR

one too many fancy stuff from KKK, China wins it 23-21!

Cai Yun / Fu Haifeng beats Koo Kean Keat / Tan Boon Heong 19-21 / 21-15 / 23-21 in a 3 game thriller.

China therefore beats Malaysia 3-0 in this Sudirman Cup semifinal.

tomorrow, it will be Li-Ning vs Victor. historical.

china rules! cant wait the MD final...but MD for korea!

no way.. mixed will be won by korea

Finally, CHN finishes it off, w/a x-court slice drop...Ah Cai, Ah Fu, Ah Li, Ah Zhang all hug each other & celebrate...Ah Koo & Ah Tan just smirk and smile...Oh well, no WMC vs. WYH..:p

Chong Wei become Datuk the skill also become like Datuk....
Kien Keat/Boon Heong I didn't watch, but it wouldn't surprise me if they got more bling bling on them

Mew Choo didn't get to play :(

Msian gave a tough time to China. Kudos.

What a doubles match!

Malaysians seem abit casual at times.

3-0 to china as Mas MD lost the final points..Explosive battle by both pair and eventually Mas pair has the advantage in the earlier stage but too many errors by Mas pair especially TBH in the later stage cost them the match.

Victor, your reserve psychology came too late, Msia Team pack up liao.
<sigh> Cannot watch choo2 play, she will sure fight until the end.

kkk always like to sit on the court. dono why... mengapa.......??? ;)

i predict CHN to win in final. 3:0 vs KOR
..depends on the draw/order of play..If MD and/or XD are played in the first three matches, KOR have a shot of getting a pt or 2..

China really..really not losing any game since the beginning of sudirman cup 2009..

5-0 england
5-0 japan
5-0 ina
3-0 mas

..

will the final be like that too..??

kkk always like to sit on the court. dono why... mengapa.......??? ;)
..that's what i always wonder...whether in play or not..sitting or laying down..:p

li ning vs victor.... oh my yonex....

CHN beat MAS.

Cai & Fu

hope they come to singapore open.... rematch... ;)

lining to win... ;)

he laid many alright... ;)

mas could win this. but kkk is not a serious player...
Cos he knows Msia cannot win the tie , esp after LCW lost. Just a matter whether they want to pack up fast or really try to steal a point. ;);)

now the whole of china knows malaysia. Good advertisement for malaysia lah... free.. ;)

i predict CHN to win in final. 3:0 vs KOR

I think the reasonable result should be 3:1. No others but LYD and JJJ will steal the only point. Korean known for their fighting spirit and would take the game to China without fear. 3 : 0 is possible but would be a flattering result to China.

Chinese machine steamrolling along nicely!!!!
A tribute to all those poor uqake victims of last year

China really..really not losing any game since the beginning of sudirman cup 2009..

5-0 england
5-0 japan
5-0 ina
3-0 mas

..

will the final be like that too..??
that's what I call a white wash, a proper one

China really..really not losing any game since the beginning of sudirman cup 2009..

I hope Korea will steal one game. Don't make it look it too bad.

hahaha.. i think i do enjoy the last game. Long rallies, interesting skills, a'hem. i got my duck-sitting kkk back!

Wonder what was going through our boys mind in the 2nd game ? At least we saw them come alive again after the mid way break in the 3rd.

KKK was probably rushing to win ( or rushing to show off ) that he snatched so many shots. Sigh !

kkk always like to sit on the court. dono why... mengapa.......??? ;)

Bang extreme, should ask you lah, you coaching people mah. :p

He was too busy shouting insanely with every shout, that used up all his tongkat ali energy

It was a great battle,which took 3 hours to complete. Before the match, I told Peter Gade and fastdrop that I was concerned it might end in half that time.

Yes, the MAs pair looked a bit casual and LCW made quite a bit more errors during their matches, but the Chinese didn't get everything their way. Anyway, congrats to them and I really hope a tougher battle is in store for tomorrow.

Until then, fastdrop will be asleep until late afternoon and I will be spending my day at Tianhe, shopping and enjoying Xinjiang food.

Enjoy lots of Lamb Kebabs.... (yang lou chuan) :D

i have to say that in terms of talent, KKK/TBH has lots of it. TBH's smash while not speed record breaking, have just as much sting, pace and angle as FHF. in fact, much more refined and nice to watch. KKK ability to read shots at the front also match CY. add to that their defense is simple magically control and precise.

China however, won by their higher focus and hardwork.

I reckon if CY had a partner with better skills upfront and defense, though sacrificing a bit of power, would be unbelievable.

I hope Korea will steal one game. Don't make it look it too bad.

This is not like TC. Korea has OG Gold in XD, OG silver in WD ;)

He was too busy shouting insanely with every shout, that used up all his tongkat ali energy

Nah, he didnt take his usual ginseng today, next time he need to get some from Korea, better ask LYD where to get the best :p.
KKK took it easy, no rush2 to win, not enuf urgency.

does anyone know the line-up in the final? is it the same, mixed doubles then men singles then men doubles etc?

We have to take the good and bad of KKK. Is hard to alter someone style like KKK as personality normally dictates the playing style. I think the Malaysians MD played close to their true strength unfortunately came a bit short.
Credit to the Chinese, they were not only good and they played very hard to win.
Malaysia failed to advance to final because the opponents were way stronger than us so I am happy settle with bronze.
Anyway, who else is better playing against China in the Final? Korea is the only one in my opinion to put up a good fight.

You can see the difference in characters between Lin and Chong Wei. Lin's jumping around and yelling, and flexing and being an overall gloat, while Chong Wei is kind and humble.

God I hate Lin.

You should go and beat him... that'll teach him to be such a gloat!

hahaha..Not everyone like my kkk too. ~ I am sure Lin Dan fans will like him as who he is, vanilla. That's the character of his, and that's all.

i like cocky kkk. that makes the match entertaining but of course it would be better if kkk/tbh can give some good results soon and becomes unbeatable again. Anyhow congrats to them..good 1st and 3rd games

Is always like that, if you win then whatever characters are cute and lovable. Imagine if Lin Dan lose most of the time then all his charisma is flaw. Winner is king and loser in bandit?
I do believe player has to play the style suitable for his character to be effective?

This is not like TC. Korea has OG Gold in XD, OG silver in WD ;)

I hope for better, a 3-2 decision either way. It will then be worth the VIP ticket I invested for the final.

well,all i can say is
next time lar:p
fairuz as cannot be hope as usual
lcw lost his presice and accurate
same defensive koo/tan most of the time(and made errors):rolleyes:

say bye bye to sudirman cup
yes,we at historical high,but not high enough:)

That is no Yonex final! Li Ning vs Victor.....

yes, its so kinda funny to watch that interesting md match.
lots of weird stuff made by KKK and lots of shouting too, i have to agree with eaglehelang that kkk need to ask lyd where to get the best ginseng. should ask yong dae buy for kkk:plol

That is no Yonex final! Li Ning vs Victor.....:)

That is no Yonex final! Li Ning vs Victor.....
