L/J needs to brush up on their mistakes and forms. Their play was totally different compared to when they beat F/C in hattrick.
voted for the korean pair, i think it's a toss between FHF/CY & LYD/JSS. after so many nearly there, this is the year the korean to go one further, just a hunch.
Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [6] . So...... The poll is out. I shall vote for Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan [6]. .
I vote for Kido/Hendra.. eventhough i think Kido/Hendra are lack of preparation.. Kido just get married, and Hendra just back from the Japan league if i'm not mistaken. In the other hand, I think Hendra Aprida/Alvent Yulianto would have a good chance also, entering Thai Gp Gold 2011 and SIN SS 2011 final and beating some top pairs. Bona/Ahsan is on "easier" half. Let's see how they perform.
i dont think its a big deal for them, been done it 3 times already. unless, this is the one that prevent CHN to have a clean sweep of all 5.
for Li YongBo! it's even a lesser deal for him. not sure how many world champions won under his management, 40? 50? i think even he is lost counted! he did said that his target is 100 before he step down, can't be that far now.
..history has shown they've had trouble winning in England, the country where supposedly badminton started (and where the first real badminton tourney started, the AE)..but if they can win this WC, it'll be their first major title in England (as they never won AE before)..
AE and England remains elusive not only for MK/HS but all INA players. When was the last time INA player win it or at it?
agree that this is the most difficult to predict as I think 5 pairs have about equal chance, CY/FHF, JJS/LYD, MK/HS, MB/CM and KKK/TBH. Out of the 5, KKK/TBH and MB/CM form recently are not that good. Kidho just got married so I think he may not peak yet. JJS, after taking a brief break for marriage, his form is quite down in Singapore and Jakarta. But I think he may be on the way back to his best already. So I vote for LYD/JJS, even though FHF/CY seems to be the one who may be on form.
That feels like a lifetime when will Garuda flies to they sky again?? Will I live long enough to see that moment??
I think for this poll (Mens Doubles), we could receive fewer submissions . Only ONE more week for our BCers to vote. I think for this poll (Mens Doubles), we could receive fewer submissions. Why? Because all pairs can have equal strong chances to win. I am sure that many BCers cannot decide which pairs they to vote in this poll. .
