I was hoping it would be Simon against Park. Park wins matches by grinding his opponents down, which is why he was able to beat tactically superior opposition. Sony's physique might not be able to handle that, the last super long match they had made Sony walk with a limp for days.

And yes, the decision to not play Kido (for INA MD) and Chin Eei Hui (for MAS WD) is probably prudent given that the World Championships is not far away. For INA WS, I told copadh that either Maria or Firda could take HHY or KMI out. Whether or not Firda's mind is up to it is a different matter.

I would move for INA to try and gamble Greys with Lily in WD though, if WD is last match. If the score is at 2-2 after 4 matches, this is worth a try. However, if WD is the first match, then better not.

Other than the WD event, which is a clear advantage to the KORs, the rest of the 4 events could go either way, more or less...

Btw, any prognostication for the MAS vs. CHN tie??..

WOW. What a mean thing to say. Hyde Jung? Hyo Jekyll?

Lee Hyo Jung is an exceptionally talented player. She does have good days and bad days but that goes the same for all the badminton players out there.

I like Lee Yong Dae a lot, too. He's definitely a gem/genius that would dominate the badminton xd/md games for a long time. But I feel like some people underestimate the importance/talent of LHJ. She's an olympic gold medalist and silver medalist at the same time, for God's sake!

I'm not trying to offend anybody out there but I feel like she deserves same credit as well as LYD does.

Met Simon and wished the team well during breakfast, he looked surprised to see me.

Met Gade too, seems to have recovered from his huge migraine attack.

Good to know MKY is going to play.......

That's contrary my expectation, I thought whatever the reason, Kido would come to the court by his decision. Anyway, that could be from some tactics from INA that a new face could change the mood as JJS/LYD must have prepared for Kido/Hendra, the old partnership.

All the best for the two countries superior in MD.

Greysia and Butet are more of front court player.....the pairing will have trouble generating enough offensive smash...

Besides, can the lineup be changed in a moment notice like that??

**takenouchi** · 05-15-2009, 10:20 PM

Hi, I'm the new member in this forum, Nice to See All the BC members,
bout SemiFinal Today I think KOREA will have good chance to Win the Tie, 55:45 for KOREA,
I'm Indonesian, but I should be OBJECCTIVE, from the NewsPaper here in Indonesia this morning, Indonesia is predicted to put their 1st team in this semiFinal and there is no Trial and Error like againts China 2 days ago, the representatives of Indonesia should be:
MD KIDO/HENDRA
XD NOVA/LILY
MS SDK
WS MKY
WD Polii/Nitya

there also an Option that is written in the news paper that is Forcing LiLy (BUTET) play twice in XD and WD (paired with Polii) same with Korea will Force Luu Hyo Jung to play Twice, but for Me Iam Not Sure INDONESIA will take that Option,

WD is for KOREA while WS is for Indonesia, and the rest is 50:50 but in MD littlebit for KOREA I think, Its Hard to say that My Prediction is 3:2 or 3:1 for Korea depending on the Turn Of Play.

Lily has good power, anyway the focus should be on tactics instead of power. Only CHN and KOR gals have power of any degree anyway.

The team lineup should be up now, should have been posted 2 hours before the tie.

3. Wang Yihan Vs Wong Mew Choo - 90:10 for CHN. In my opinion, MAS should take this to secure their position.

4. Cai Yun / Fu Hai Feng Vs Koo Kean Keat / Tan Boon Heong - 80:20 match.
5. Du Jing / Yu Yang Vs Wong Pei Tty / Chin Eei Hui - 80:20 for CHN.

Total chance % for msia win china is 20%

why wongMC only have 10% n koo/tan only 20%???

erm...i think chn maybe wont send WYH today but maybe i'm wrong...

Less than 2 hours to start INA v KOR, no order of play yet? strange...

i was thinking about exactly the same thing.

***kwun*** · 05-15-2009, 10:44 PM

for the Chiense WS lineup, LYB says they will send whoever WMC fear most. he doesn't fear playing XXF against WMC. it is actually not a tough choice as the lineup for MAS is rather limited.

China will for sure take WD and XD, to take one match out of MD/MS/WS is quite feasible as the strength is quite even.
