It's what was recorded by BWF only . I only looked at what was recorded by BWF. You could be correct; There could be other tournaments not recorded by BWF. .
LCW and LD are not the the only 2 players in the world . Hahaha... I don't think winning the big ones has any thing to do with their h2h record. They are not the only 2 players in the world. .
before olympic 2008 china send a full force team to thailand clean sweep with 9 finalist if i remember correctly lin dan too won in the ms final
BWF only records individual events not team events aswell Otheriwse poor LCW's record would be a bit worse
is it? i thought it was lcw 2-2 ld in team event? lcw won in sc 07 and tc 08 ld won in sc 09 and tc 10
..that's right, BWF doesn't have LD's record in this yr's Asian Games (most likely because it's not a BWF-sanctioned event plus it wasn't recorded on tournamentsoftware). But i also notice, tournamentsoftware's data on players' record is not complete. ..minor correction: there hasn't been a TC held in M'sia for a long time until this yr. And definitely, M'sia hasn't held a Sudirman Cup tourney ever..
Yah I meant the Thomas cup asia preliminary's in 2004 where it was held in Kuala Lumpur . Sorry about the confusion
I'm surprised Chen Hong also has a pretty good record against LCW 5-5. China miss a player like Chen Hong dearly in the absences of LD. CJ and BCL are just not at the same level CH was.... Even Chen yu was 3-3 I always believed CY was a much better player than his little achievements showed... I take a quote for long ago comparing CJ with CY.... from Jamesd20
Even if there are, it would not have the same titanic aura of "battle of the megastars" similarly like Datuk LCW and LD. For the past several years, in every tournaments as far as this two megastars in badminton has participate are concern, everybody would like a to witness the battle between Datuk LCW and LD, be it at the QF or SF or Final and regardless who wins it because they are the "cream of the crop" of the current era of badminton similarly like anticipating Roger Federer vs Nadal in Tennis or Usain Bolt vs Tyson Gay in 100m sprint...............we will miss this two stars after 2012.
Well, it so happened that OG08 and AG10 were both held in China. So LD's lucky to win and he knows that. In OG04 and AG06, the venues were in neutral territory so LD did not have a crowd big enough to boost him up at the right time. LD was unlucky there.
hahaha, how conveniently you left out 2010 thomas cup held in boleh land in front of thousands screaming bolehians??? Such knowledgeable fan but yet left out the obvious case on purpose, of course. back in 2004 OG, that was lin dan's first biggie tournament, stage fright is normal. Your hero Taufik failed in his first OG attempt too. On his 2nd OG at 2004, taufik was lucky, he didn't face any chinese players but have to face an one eyed shon in the final. in 2006 AG, lin dan had beaten and won over taufik twice in during the AG, Lin dan got bored of beating up taufik for the 3rd time, he kept the same tactic which taufik exploited. I say Taufik was lucky again because lin dan didn't plan or care to change his tactic. Lin dan woke up too late.*yawn* If a rubber occur, taufik is a goner. Too bad you can't change this but try to go around it but still failed. major title head to head lin dan (100%) : lee chong wei (zippo)
Exactly. I'm glad you understand luck is involved in winning majors. The stars and planets gotta be aligned...maybe this time LD did not have to play Taufik so that's lucky he was not stressed... What I don't understand is why people use Head to Head like some hallowed magic number. HtH is supposed to indicate advantage or probability historically. Unless LD meets LCW at least 7 more times and LCW wins all, the HtH will remain in LD's favour. However if you go into the details and look at win/lose trend, both now take turns to win so the HtH is unreliable for betting. So if do HtH for 2008, then 2009, then 2010, you'll see a more meaningful trend that is useful. But I'm glad LD won the AG. Would be more terrible for him if he didn't.

Head-to Head Record: Lin Dan-vs- Lee Chong Wei . It's quite amazing that you BCers have your own record of all the matches. So it's LD (15) : LCW (7). It's also amazing that 11 of them are 3-games matches. .
