Taufik took the first set 15-11... I wish Hendrawan could retire as a world champion... come on.... go A-Wang...
man...Taufik is the best, he should be #1!!! lol. i'm only saying that cos i hear he uses the beloved cab23!
We dont see these games in the UK... who won?????????????????????????? Taufik hopefully cos he had so much potential!!!!!!!!
he'll prolly lose. if hidayat juz keeps the ball(chuttle in this case) in play, he'll win cos Hend ain't got no much stamina left.
final score Hendrawan bt Taufik 11-15, 15-5, 1-7 (rtd) the interesting thing is when u add the score for both of them, the totals are both 27
Lots of s*** and rubbish How did the cramp take place, Kwun? I didn't watch this match coz I had been hogging the TV the whole evening. There was a guest over but I just insisted on watching badminton... *shame on you, girl. Where are your manners?* Anyway, here comes all the conspiracy theories: 1)Taufik was instructed to have cramps after leading in the 3rd set so it would a. look like an accident and no-one would suspect any match-fixing b. give Hendrawan a much-needed break because he wouldn't have to fight back in the rubber 2) No theory involved. Taufik was really "cramping". I'm talking a lot of nonsense here. Please don't take this seriously, esp the Taufik and Hendrawan fans. On my part, I am an INA supporter but like Al, would prefer Hendrawan to win since it's already his last WC. Then again, it would take a lot for him to get past an in-form Gade... Anyway, good luck, Hendrawan! And happy recovery, Taufik! *doh*
Re: Lots of s*** and rubbish I've watched the game and I think Taufik was really cramped. I saw he cried after gave up the 3rd round. -
Re: Lots of s*** and rubbish Oh oh... sorry sorry sorry Taufik... a thousand, no million, apologies!!!! *Damn you and your big mouth, Adel!* Erm Ricky, how did Hendrawan react?
Re: Lots of s*** and rubbish well. guess what? i have a guest over as well, and i have pretty much been watching badminton as well. but he is an old friend. no problem. Taufik came up to the net to retrieve a net shot, and then he limped a few and fell onto the ground. then the medic came over and a few minutes later, he retired from the match. it looked genuine, may be he is a good actor? i also wonder if the Chinese were tiring Ra out as Cheung had guessed. the Zhang/Wei vs. Ra/Lee match and MX final aren't favoring Ra.
