with your MS at the grand old age of 27, 33 & 27. not exactly looking good for the future, is it? the average age of these 3 will be 30 in a few month's time, better enter the veteran t'ment if MAS wanted to win anything.

The 27s are turning 28 soon

How about the Danes? They have Peter, Jonas Rasmussen and Lars Paaske

Danes way of training is totally different than the Malaysians. But age does not matter if you are experienced and you take good care of your body.

It's different case with (most) Europeans.
This year, at the age of 33, Peter able to beat LD. Could Dato LCW do the same thing at that age?

Also this year, at the age of 34/32 respectively, Lars/Jonas won AE, while KKK/TBH, well, you surely remember.

it's basically the same personnel & lineup as in 2008 Thomas Cup..they're gonna try one more time and hope luck will be on their side this time, playing @ home..

**undeadshot** · 04-16-2010, 02:56 AM

Yeah...it is exactly the same as 2008 Thomas Cup, where Malaysia lost 2-3 to China.
If only :

LCW can beat Lin Dan again
Fuzzy can beat Guo/Xu instead of Guo/Xie this time
KKK/TBH turn the tables to beat Cai Yun/Fu Haifeng

Can they do it at home?

**ctjcad** · 04-16-2010, 03:01 AM

CHN could feature the young Chai Biao & Zhang Nan against Fuzzy-wuzzy pair instead of GuoZD & Xu Chen this time around...
Looking back, imo, MAS lost the tie, in the 2008 TC, when KKK & TBH failed to win against FHF & CY and lost in straight games..that lost, after LCW's win over LD, probably deflated the entire MAS TC camp..

Yeah...it was KKK/TBH's loss that affected the whole MAS camp, and Hafiz was trembling when it was him who decides the final score. And he lost in straight games too.

Anyway, there will be many outcome too that day. It's either Koo/Tan or Fuzzy will win..

Ya...it is already over, what would have happened should KKK/TBH have won, we can speculate forever. Will Fuzzy still win?

Anyway, I don't think Fuzzy can repeat their 2008 TC performance, although I really hope these two can prove my low expectation of them wrong.

But no matter what, they will forever remain a yoyo pair. They can be better than Mak/Tan, Lim/Chan or Hoon/Ong, but they also can be much worse

Frankly, as you guys already know, I'm disappointed with the line-up. However, this line-up can be a slight challenge. Good luck.

MS # 2 - Wong Choong Hann
MD # 2 - Choon Tan Fook - Lee Wan Wah

Should be the best lineup for Malaysia!

I would disagree with this even more... I think Choong/Lee are well past their time and we should field new faces like Mak Hee Chun. How about Mak Hee Chun-Tan Boon Heong

I think Choong/Lee has negative record against Mak/Tan too... they lost to them twice this year before beating them once.
