A little bit of both. But I won't be surprise if Indonesia give better resistance than fellow Malaysian players. I do think Indonesian players have better mental toughness just like the Koreans.

Yes. I like both of them (with Gill Clark) commenting together. At the same time, they would give us some tips and ideas on how to play better badminton shots...

so what is the key for INA team to (at least) give a good match and steal some points from MDs ?
I thought it was Ian Stuart? the ex-coach of ENG
Oh, another name! I've never heard Ian Stuart speak though. I was thinking it's very impressive to change one's accent so well!!

The key is simple, play your usual game and don't let presure gets to you.

Among the semi-finalists, I would rate :
1) China
2) Indonesia
3) Malaysia
4) Japan
Looks like even Denmark had faced China instead, they wouldn't manage to steal a point with China in this dominating form...

I did not realize, good point.You're right Indonesia is Asia Qualifications Winner for the Thomas Cup and Korea is the Asian Qualification Winner for the Uber Cup Winner.
kIRANA is right, it was an Ian.
Really? I thought it was Darren Hall...
Sorry, Cheung...

it doesnt make sense to put the team just beaten you on a lower rank, doesnot hold any water at all.

I probably would have thought the same if I hadn't heard Ian mentioned a few times. Just had a listen back and it was in fact Ian Wright (former england head coach).Destricto_Ense

Damn you demolidor, I was just about to say Ian Wright!
I agree he is a great commentator... I heard him before, don't recall where. Maybe it was AE10 coverage.

Yes, big tournaments like AE, World Championships, Olympics and Thomas Cup, he will be commenting together with Gill...otherwise, only Gill alone will be the commentator...
