in event like thomas cup, the team spirit and how much you want to win it as a TEAM important. Denmark seems united, but i'm not sure how strong Malaysia's team spirits is!
The line up is out...all same as yesterday except for 2nd MD. Surprise...scratch pair Zakry + Hoon Thien How is fielded!
OK. It's very interesting indeed. WCH's inclusion should surprise nobody. You sacrifice the 2nd singles to use up the opponent's higher ranking player. If you do not use WCH, HH goes into 2nd and you have an even more green person at 3rd singles who is waay down the rankings. Without WCH, you have a good chance of losing 2 singles rubbers. With him, you got a fighting chance of bagging the third singles rubber. (That's why when he snapped the achilles tendon in Japan in the other TC, M'sia became crippled by the singles). Zakry + Hoon Thien How, I like it. No pressure. Sure. Form comes and goes. He's not in the right state of mind to continue at the moment. A few days break, lots of practice and see how his form goes. If starts hitting the shuttle well in practice and get's his confidence back, then that's good.
It ait over until the fat lady sing!!! And i did not hear her sing. Got to keep the faith...without it the battle is over without being fought.
YES I think Zakry and Thien How can be good. I always thot Zakry is a better player but Fairuz is the wrong partner. Let us see.
We will go down fighting. Hopefully, the fans will go down cheering if we lose. By all odds, I want and expect a win! Let's go, Malaysian team! Semangat...!
I am Farking dissapointed with the Malaysian Badminton Team. 2nd doubles is rubbish and Hafiz has been a very undiscipline player, more so after winning all england. WCH...well..he is retired for two years, so coming back to play can be a challenge. Against denmark..haha...i think its a 50-50 chance.
Against Denmark is a 50-50. My prediction : 3-2 either way. In the end, I believe it boils down to Hafiz again unless Jan'O shows his crappy form like yesterday. (HOPEFULLY) and LCW and KKK/TBH are the musts for 2 points.
well , Let looks at the players history..and tournament and percentage. 1st singles LCW vs PGC ..... Chances are 70% - 30%. LCW could win this match unless upsets by Pete. Than Finish..loh. Lets Hope.. 1st doubles KKK/TBH vs 1st doubles of Den. 60-40 or 50 -50. This is a decider.. if MAS wins we got hope.. Denmark dont underestimate they are strong in doubles.. 2nd singles WCH... old and rusty.. what are the chances? 60-40 goes to denmark. 2 doubles... If Fairus and tazry.. against the might of denmark doubles specialist.. 70 - 30 goes to denmark. 3rd singles.. HH... maybe 60 40 or 50 50 goes to denmark.. Either way score will 3 -2 .. like japan .. either way is 3-2 close encounter but the way we played against Japan. huh 4-1 goes to denmark .. or 3 -2
No. we are going to lost to Denmark tonight.. Beside LCW & KKK TBH, i really see no sign of winning on them..If they can't even beat Japan.. then.. how to beat Denmark..
msia lose unexpectedly because they looked down japan....just hope tonite they are all with fighting spirit...
