2012 All England SSP: Thu 08-Mar Round 2 matches

[kwun]

CJ didn't convert even when TH gave him a present at 18-19. only to try to hard to kill off TH at 19-20 and net killed long. TH takes first game 21-19,

[kuwichert]

nerveous CJ already waiting for the master

[kuwichert]

2-0 , good start for Taufik

[LD rules!]

I've missed this Taufik...

[kuwichert]

great setup makes it 3-0, good to see that he still can to stuff like that

[LD rules!]

This is really good Taufik come on!

[kuwichert]

netplay, defence, smash - its all there,

[kwun]

PG is out. CJ lost last week. this is probably one of the few chances that CJ can gain point on PG on his quest for olympics qualification.

The British XD won by the skin of their a** again...Purely fluke win and home ground advantage.

Where do you come up with this garbage? Sure the home support is a help, but they are talented as well, they played this pair in China before and they lost in 3 sets so it's not a fluke as such. Also against Zhang/Zhao, they have played them 5 times, once lost in 3, (I think 24-22 in the 3rd) 2nd time lost cause of Imogen had an injury and retired, 3rd time was WC, and the last two times they won (in Korea and this morning)

So yeah, just give it a rest...

I agree. Don't know what you are going on about. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you put them down at any opportunity. The last time I checked, they're in the QF. Which is more that can be said for a few of the more illustrious pairs.

TH has vowed to stop Chinese players from qualifying the olympics. this is where he will be keeping his promise.

Woke up and now continuing reading this thread...

It looks like Chen Jin and Chen Long are going to lose their Game 1.

It ain't over yet: Never underestimate how much Taufik can underacheive.

.
Both CJ and CL lost Game 1. Could they come back in Game 2?

It looks like CL could, but TH is determined not to allow CJ to come back.
.

[kwun]

CL takes 2nd game.

[kuwichert]

misjudge and a wide smash - CJ is back to 5 all

[kuwichert]

footwork looks still ok, 6-5. C'mon Taufik! go go go

TH has vowed to stop Chinese players from qualifying the olympics. this is where he will be keeping his promise.

I wish he just played like this all the time again

Trying to watch 2 screens, TS Livescore and type at the same time is no easy task

[kuwichert]
