    PBSI wants Flandy to concentrate in XD next week to get a good seeding at the Olympics... ;) Makes sense to me...

    Personally, I would rather have Nova concentrates on XD and backup Flandy/Vita's goal to securing top 4 seedings. Nova's stamina will be under more duress having to play MD & XD.

    Nova-Lily's #1 or #2 seeding is secured. Flandy-Vita's not so... In this Asian Championship, Nova will concentrate in MD, Lily in WD. Better, I think... ;)

    I believe it's PBSI's MAIN MISSION in the upcoming BAC.
    Once Flandy/Vita get into the Final, its sayonara for Xie/Zhang :D

    It means TH will become INA MS1 so he can challenge LD to contribute one crucial point as road opener for INA Thomas team. Last time TH beat LD in Istora was semifinal of Indonesia Open 2004 tournament (Dec/04), what a big match to wait!

    Before meet CHN in final scenario, better to give focus for previous rounds, quarter and semifinal. On paper, KOR or MAS is possible opponent for INA at QF and DEN in last four. These three teams are really potential stumbling blocks and don't have far distance compare with CHN force in term of players capability. INA needs right strategy and high determination how to stop them.

    As MS1, LD isn't the one and only tough test for TH but still other name who also is dangerous rival, Lee Chong Wei if INA faces MAS at quarterfinal.

    For me, I believe that the team that displayed well-played game will win it. As hot favourites, usually they are more tension to win. Maybe underdog will enter final. Definitely I will always behind my favourite team,Malaysia.

    For the good of this thread please refrain from diverting into separate issues and insulting opposing players.

    This thread is for predicting who will win the thomas cup, not OG Qualification, Who is afraid of playing who, why some players haven't won everything or bringing up players' anomalous results losing lower ranked players.

    Members who posts such things will spoil the enjoyment of the thread to other members and prevent them from voting in the poll since they will have caused the thread to be shut.

    James, you must have notice that most thread such as this one usually went along smoothly until certain member, as you put it, start "insulting opposing players".
    Appreciates the mods taking care of business and deleting such posts, but IMHO a precedence needs to be set.

    Since Xie Zhong Bo performed badly in the recent India Open (Althogh they won the title); China might have a surprise second MD line-up
    Xu Chen & Guo Zheng Dong -- They stretched Fu Hai Feng/Cai Yun into 3 thrilling sets at the recent pratise match in China Camps.
    Other results -LD beat CJ 21-8, 18-21, 21-12
    And Bao CL beat Chen Yu in 2 easy sets

    I'll be surprised if China does field this pair. The 2nd MD pair from MAS, INA and KOR are all in the top 10s. And they'll be playing in hostile territory to boot....

    If badminton is just about tecnique but no need for experience, then I can claim the same for CHN MDs. He Hanbin and etc do capture numerous title in MD and XD, and I am pretty sure they have "fine techniques". And they went into deeper rounds in SS and GS (some in XD events, though), so the experience is there, too.

    I did not say who has to be afraid of others, all I am saying is to state the fact that IN do have more depth in MD, well CHN have more in MS. The current TC is a format of 5 games, therefore, depth of your 4th or 5th player/pair usually don't count. If you drag the format to be 15 games, that will be a very different story. :p
