China Badminton Super league 2016-2017

My pleasure, thanks. You and @gelopisan are too kind. I 'm aware that in this forum are crouching tigers and hidden dragons , what I'm doing is modest in comparison whereas they are the wise, discerning ones who seldom speak but quietly observe whatever is going on, except on the rarest of occasions they deign to edify us by their golden words of wit and wisdom.

Generally speaking, a university degree nowadays (in fact has been so for several decades) means little more than vocational training, not so much education in the best sense of the word. Humbly speaking, most of what I know is self-taught, I'm an autodidact so to speak as I believe my degree ill-equipped me to cope in the university of life and to understand the real world. Talking about education, two among my favourite great thinkers come to mind, one modern, the other ancient, namely John Dewey and Confucius,esp the latter whose views and teachings are still very much influential and relevant as ever.

Pardon me, I tend to digress too much.

 

I'm still waiting and hoping for somebody to be kind enough to post or share his private video of the Lin Dan vs Shi Yuqi CBSL 2017 match, the one that we all missed as there wasn't any livestream for the tie that day.

Thanks, that's for China Basketball Association and surprisingly it includes videos for volleyball but I don't see any on badminton.

 

Yes, I agree albeit Chen Long seemed a bit rusty after taking a break post-Rio'16 and that match was his second in the CBSL unlike the final one with Son Wan Ho where he practically demolished an opponent who used to trouble him in team tournaments. Indeed, the LD vs CL CBSL match is one of the best MS encounters the past 12 months, virtually a cliffhanger.

 

How I wish somebody has a private video of the Lin Dan - Shi Yuqi CBSL match-up to share with us either on youtube or here.

 

While browsing the BWF tournament schedule, I realised there's the Thai Masters GPG commencing tomorrow. That should keep us entertained again for a while though without most of the top tier players/pairs, there are enough up-and-comers to whet our appetite.

Interesting exceptions are the participation of WD Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and XD Zhang Nan/Li Yinhui as well as , for me, Chen Yufei, Chen Xiaoxin, Gao Fangjie, Zhao Junpeng, including some of the most promising INA, JPN and IND youngsters.

Of course, Thailand the host is out in full force despite the absence of their ace Intanon Ratchanok. A few established contestants are also in attendance, such as, Hsu Jen Hao, Tommy Sugiarto, Sony Kuncoro, Darren Liew, P Kashyap.

 

Thank you, pcll99 and gelopisan.
