For MS and WS, not much choices but to field the best available. For MD, I think some unexpected pairing could give a better result but I doubt they will try a scratch pair. WD, should try Greys/Natsir or Mel/Natsir especially if against China that almost certain to win. XD : No Tontowi ? Maybe they can try Mel/Nova or Fran/Mel.

well,all WS are yoyo-ing now..esp Lindaweni,can beat Cheng Shao Chieh in Swiss GPG,but lost to Jeanine in Australia GPG.. but,i think they will fill either Firda or Febe.
Indonesia Handicapped For Sudirman Cup Without Markis, Hendra Ami Afriatni | April 08, 2011 Losing its top men’s doubles pair to knee injuries will certainly hurt Indonesia’s chances at the Sudirman Cup next month. Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan have decided to skip the world mixed team badminton championship, dampening the country’s hopes of winning the event for the first time since its inception in 1989. The Sudirman Cup will be held in Qingdao, China, on May 22-29. --------------------------------------- Full article -- http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/badm...for-sudirman-cup-without-markis-hendra/434284
Sudirman Cup. Taufik : Give the chance to the young players! JAKARTA, Kompas.com - Olympic 2004 champion, Taufik Hidayat, suggested to play young players in the next Sudirman Cup, that will be held at Qingdao, China. "There's not any appeals yet (to me), but I think its better to give chance to younger players (Pelatnas). Unless now, so when?" said Taufik at Jakarta, Friday (8/4/11), when he was asked about the chance to strengten Indonesia in Sudirman Cup. Taufik, that was training with Pelatnas players at Cipayung, said, in Men's Single, Pelatnas has Simon Santoso and Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka, that could be relied on. "Sony (Dwi Kuncoro) may be still in injury, but there are still Simon and Hayom, moreover, Simon is in good performance these days." said Taufik. This player, who did a charity game recently against Malaysian shuttler, Lee Chong Wei for Japan donation, still trusted that Li Mao could face this challenge. "I believe Li Mao can fullfill our hopes." added the World Champ 2005 that have been playing in Sudirman Cup since 1999. Though Sudirman Squad is not decided yet, Taufik is predicted that he will join the squad to fight at this mixed-team world championship. Hopefully, It will be helpful!
Hadi Nasri said PBSI will see who is ready and deserve to join the Sudirman Cup squad judging from their perfomance in India Super Series. http://tempointeraktif.com/hg/raket/2011/04/29/brk,20110429-331069,id.html
Hmm.. Maybe: MS : Taufik-Simon WS : Firda-Linda WD : GreyMel-Nitya/Anneke MD : Rian/Angga- Rendy/Afiat XD : Tantowi/Lilyana,Fran/Pia based on their performance in India SS
They planned to held a simulation one week after Malaysia GPG. http://www.bola.net/bulutangkis/pbsi-akan-gelar-simulasi-piala-sudirman-003b43.html
I am 90% sure Tontowi-Lily will be chosen... Forget about Nova... Let him enjoy his semi-retirement..... Li Mao likes Lindaweni and Aprillia better than Febe because of their posture and strength, so I give Febe a 20% chance of being chosen into the Sudirman Cup team...... Well, unless Febe can win the MAS GP Gold, that should open Li Mao's eyes.... hahahaha....
For the sake of badminton worldwide, I hope PBSI will add Taufik into the team....... Regardless of how many matches he plays, the audience and the world will be watching the tournament more if Taufik Hidayat is in it!!! Besides, INA's opponents will also be more confused or afraid if Taufik is in our lineup..... They might make strategic mistakes.... ;p For instance, they might be studying or concentrating on how to defeat Taufik all night..... but in the morning, INA fields Simon or Hayom........
I like this comment... If you posted this on facebook, I'll like it... hahaha... and I agree, I think TH should be in the team.
Hehe.. i think in term of power, it should be April<Linda<Febe, in term of skill Febe<Linda<April, in term of speed and aggressiveness April<Febe<Linda..
April is the most consistent among 4 INA WS India SS : April : R2 Linda : R2 Febe : R1 Firda : R1 Malaysia GPG April : QF Febe : R2 Linda : R1 Firda : R1
Nova may be still considered. For MD event, it is still open question who will 1st choice (unless Kido/Setiawan change their mind to play). Bona/Ahsan is still much unreliable. I guess that Alvent may be invited also IMHO, Linda is a little bit better than April. Looking from result, most defeated player by April are relatively easy compared than by Linda. Firda, after skipping several tournament and playing again in tournament, is getting better. Just unlucky have to meet hard player in R1. But, looking from the score, these match Firda played recently was not easy
Here's my opinion : MS : 1st Taufik, 2nd Simon/Tommy WS : 1st Firda, 2nd Aprilia MD : 1st Alvent/Ahsan, 2nd Bona/Ahsan WD : 1st Mel/Greys, 2nd Vita/Lilyana XD : 1st Ahmad/Lilyana, 2nd Nova/Lilyana, 3rd Fran/Pia
I think definitely Butet will play in XD, so its very unlikely for Butet to play again in WD. In WD, Greysia should pair with Nitya, i believe in them
I think this is the best team that INA could form : MS Obviously Simon Santoso, hope he will free from any injure when playing in Sudirman cup. WS Firda or April. Actually,depend on the opponent, If facing JPN,KOR or RUS, INA should field Firda or April. If facing THA, INA should field Febe. If facing CHN, INA should field Linda or Febe. MD Combination of Hendra,Alvent,Bona,Ahsan. Hendra/Alvent are more stable now. Alvent/Bona also not bad, they win the bronze medal in Asian Games by beating Chen Xu/Guo Zhendong. WD Greysia/Nitya in every match. This pair is more reliable than Greysia/Meiliana. XD Obviously Towi/Butet, and Fran/Pia.
