got success in 1st target...
2nd target is Sudirman Cup... hmm... unlikely.
but we have some interesting improvement in each department.
Linda, Tontowi/Butet, Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Hendra/Ahsan,
I think, 3 of them are capable in delivering points.
Silver medal will be a very good achievement as i think semifinal is realistic target.

Even not too much, I have started to feel a good progress in Indonesia squad. I think the positive intention of the PBSI board also welcomed by the players and coaches. hopefully this will continue to rise, there is a long way to go my friend. keep the spirit

My opinion is that INA can do with a lot of improvement in MS. The talent is very much there, but it needs to be channelled now. Hayom and Tommy need to step up and fulfill their potential, especially Hayom. He's too good to be allowed to go the Tago way....

I really don't expect much in terms of consistently top-level performances from Sony or even Simon for that matter. Their physical issues won't allow them to be consistent finals or SF candidates. I hope I'm wrong abotu this, but everything points to what I just wrote. The other guys should make use of their presence at the top as a kind of temporary protection, and really up their game and especially mental aspect of their game. My 2c...

I think there will be improvements in all disciplines, not just MS or WS.

I am expecting to see improvements in WD in the coming months.

However, I think the depth of the talents are limited. Hayom and Tommy can be the next Simon but I think that probably the best they will achieve. The younger players, depending how hard they trained and how good the development, might achieve more.

It's so pity watching INA Team vs Thai in Axiata semifinal.
Like Ricky subagja said, if they must lost they must showed their best play first, Players should be ready to win whenever and wherever they play. And Ivana Lie said players should show be more profesional.
And none of that attitude showed last night, especially from world class players Tontowi/Butet....

Reony Mainaky just came in on time to jumpstart INA WD. Please mix them up, pair them up, and develop them as quickly and as successful as JPN's pairs.
