Indonesian Thomas - Uber Cup Team

[rosid]

the placement for first and second pair for MD is based on WR,
if we want, Kido/Hendra be the 1st MD, then we need another combination who don't have WR pts.
We can put Kido/Hendra as 1st and Ahsan/Bona as 2nd. CMIIW

wow, indonesia got the 4th seeded in thomas cup qualification

and 5th seeded in the uber cup qualification.

that's bad, hopefully the draw isn't too bad tho.

Uber Cup vs Thailand still withstand a chance only if, 2 WD and WS #3 won the game,

however vs Japan, Taipei and china not so sure.

Thomas Cup, we should be able to qualify.

In the Sea games, that's what everyone hope but Thailand managed to win despite the home crowd.

I think it is difficult considering the WD is still injured. But possible if all WD are fully fit.

WS actually Firda and Linda are almost on par with Thailand players but only if they are fit.

I'd say that's pretty difficult for uber team..
But we should at least be able to handle thailand and taipei ..

against thailand:
We should take 2WD and 1WS (WS #3 maybe).. Don't repeat the same mistake in sea games.. And it's good if we can steal one point from WS#1 and WS#2. I think Firda and Linda still have chance against top 2 THA WS if they're in top form..

against taipei:
We should take 2WD and 1WS. I'm quite optimistic, since bella beat Cheng and Tzu Ying Tai before.. Of course TPE 1st WD would not that easy, but I believe we can handle it (with right composition)..

And the rest (japan, china) will be really difficult for us..

Yeah, out of top-4 seeding team isn't good prospect, let's see whether INA Uber team have favourable draw that will be released tomorrow

[miksss]

I hope INA will be at the same group with either THA or TPE.

INA vs THA
INA lost to THA in AG and SEA Games, eventhough i am quite optimistic INA can beat THA, but INA always lost in second WD through a scracth pair(Nitya/Pia and Vita/Butet). But now, we got Nitya/Feinya as WD#2 already. Asumming Greysia and Nitya are fit 100% already, i believe INA will secure the WD sector. And need one points from either WS1 or WS3. Firda beat Porntip in SEA Games.. Bella could handle Sapsiree i think.

INA vs TPE
INA beat TPE in AG 3-0. Again, if Greysia and Nitya are 100% fit, INA will secure the WD. Greysia/Meiliana beat CWS/CYC straight sets in last meeting and Nitya/Feinya shd deliver a points too. While Firda hold a good record against Cheng Shao Cieh. Tricky match in WS3 between Pai Ma Hsiao against Bella.
It is going to be a tough match agaisnt JPN, INA need to rely more

yea man, only if Vita/Butet won the last set of their game, it would've turned into Indonesia's favour.

Badminton : Youngsters Asked To Ease Vets' Burden

Ami Afriatni | January 31, 2012

Simon Santoso will lead Indonesia’s Thomas Cup team, a move that could signal the first step in the country’s long-delayed shift to a new generation.

Simon will assume the No. 1 men’s singles spot previously held by Taufik Hidayat, who will move to No. 2. Asian qualifying for the men’s team tournament takes place Feb. 13 to 19 in Macau.

“It’s time for Simon to take a greater responsibility as the team spearhead. He will be facing the No. 1 players from different countries and that will sharpen his mentality,” Taufik said on the sidelines of practice at the Indonesian Badminton Federation’s (PBSI) national training center in Cipayung, East Jakarta, on Monday.

Indonesia was drawn into Group B of Thomas Cup qualifying alongside India, Singapore and Macau. It opens against host nation Macau on Feb. 13, followed by Singapore the next day and India on Feb. 15.

Taufik, who has played on the national team since 1996, said his position at No. 2 was good for him because it would ease some of the pressure on him, allowing him to play more freely.

The rest of Indonesia’s Thomas Cup team has a similar look. The younger shuttlers will assume leading roles with the more experienced competitors providing backup.

Poor Greysia being targeted by other pairs. I still think their game are not used to be. Before injury they can pushed Ha/Kim to limit but last time they met, only got 8 and 9 ?? Sigh

I didn't see that match, but I did see them against the other Koreans in Malaysia when they lost 11 and 8. Nothing much wrong in Greys' physical fitness and power. But her match fitness was still suspect. Rotation movement was not too smooth, leaving gaps. Should be fine once she gets her bearings right.

The Koreans are overrated, their only advantage is the gas tank, and nothing else. More technical pairs, even auntie pairs, could still actually beat them.

Nitya and Greysia's injure are getting better, Greysia is nearly 100% fit.

Aryono are optimistic INA can steal 2 points from WD against THA.

According to kompas, Christian Hadinata and Richard Mainaky won't be joining the team to Macau.

Richard wants to concentrate on preparing his mix doubles players for All England(important for Olympic qualification). That's quite good. Better train Rijal/Debby and Tontowi hard at home. They need the training.

Meanwhile, Christian cited personal reason, there is a family member who is sick

Nice pictures. Pity the girls having to wrap their knees. Must be suffering as I have also experienced it.
