    Nah, we can't use that lineup. Jun is ranked lower than WMC, must follow ranking. Can't use Pi either, her team is not in the Finals.

    Jap cuties have gone off the boil lately, I rate Suetsuna/Maeda as the best JPN pair now. But TPE girls are much better.

    And you are right, MAS cannot make it on current material ....... I would settle for them to reach semis.

    Aiks, what was I thinking :rolleyes:. You're right. Pi can't play. Also the TPE girls are tougher than the cuties right now, so they're in. For WS, no matter, I'd still settle for any permutation of Tine/Jun/Wong/Yippy to give the CHN juggernaut a run for their Yuan

    OK, try this one:-

    Tine Rasmussen vs XXF (yup, only Tine can balance XXF's power)
    Xu Huaiwen or WMC vs ZN
    WMC or Yippie or ZM vs LL/ZL
    TPE or INA gals vs DJ/YY or YW/ZJW (INA to play DJ/YY, TPE to challenge YW/ZJW)
    INA or MAS gals vs YW/ZJW or ZYW/WYL (INA to play if YW/ZJW is fielded, MAS against ZYW/WYL).

    i'd say minimum 3-2 to CHN, perhaps 4-1. Tine looks like the only player who is likely to score a point in that line-up, maybe someone else might but i don't see 3 points in there anywhere ....

    WMC Is the most likely to score a point against 3rd CHN singles, but with her ranking, under Uber Cup rules I don't think she could.

    Like we said, R of World or any other country could only maybe manage to beat china's 2nd Uber cup team.

    But it would be interesting to imagine what could happen IF the score is at 2-2, wouldn't it?

    Well it would be really interesting if the really is a tournament for world unification team vs chinese team. That should sell some tickets! The unification team was briefly mentioned in my earlier back in post #48.

    China seems to be the overwhelming favorite, but still, anything could happen!

    Indeed, they are less vulnerable than the men's squad. But we have hope .... in recent times KOR, MAS, INA and DEN singles and doubles players have beaten 'em. At least, make some dents even if the wall doesn't crumble.

    If u watched the recent ABC WS Final (CHN vs CHN), u will agree with me. Those two young CHN WS are so strong that they outclassed our WMC and WangChen :eek:

    badminton is popular sports in China.
    let's say about 50 million out of 1.5b population.
    one team = 10 players (include back-ups)
    just imagine they need to outcome the 100 million people.........:eek:
    even the badminton players are much more than our(Malaysia) population...:D

    CHN vs All-star

    It would be a disaster if CHN fails to defend the title.


    Agreed with the idea of having a CHN vs All-star team matchup:

    Xie Xingfang vs Tine Rasmessen (DEN)
    Zhang Ning vs Wang Chen (HKG)
    Lu Lan vs Wong Mew Choo (MAS)
    Yang Wei/Zhang Jiewen vs Lee Hyo Jung/Lee Kyung Won (KOR)
    Wei Yili/Zhang Yawen vs Cheng Wen Hsing/Chien Yu Chin (TPE)
