For me, fielding Butet in two department is a good idea as INA best chance to win point is from XD followed by MD and WS. INA is banking on XD, MD and WS to get point. Can't wait to see the match.
As I know Ahsan just recover from an injury and maybe considered not fit enough for the game. The first match will be the decision for INA team. If ToLin win then INA has a chance to win. But if they loose then it's over. A very difficult task for ToLin tommorow, and based on records Liliana never won any game facing CHN XD in the team competition when she was lead by more senior Nova Widianto (even when they were World Champion, no 1 rank and can regularly defeat any CHN XD in the individual competition). Now she must lead the more junior and mentally weaker Tantowy Ahmad to do thing she never acomplished in the past. Very very very hard task for her. But at least there's one thing she never won with Nova that she have already win with Tatntowy, twice. You know what I mean Hopefully it will be happen too in this year SC. Go INDONESIA !!!
I don't understand why people think INA has good chance in .WS. LXR has recovered significantly. Her mental strength is huge in the big game. I pretty sure she will win for China if she is needed.
It's not that people think INA WS has good chance against LXR, but comparing the 3 (WS, MS, WD), INA has better chance to steal a point in WS. Heck, I would be surprised if INA can claw themselves to a 2-3 defeat.
I'd be surprised if they can claw themselves anything but a 3-0 defeat. I know Indonesian fans seem to think they have talented players, but really, they're not all that. And china are.
Very true. This is like Barca vs Bayern. No doubt Barca has many talents and many achievements. If Bayern can surprise by winning 4-0, I would say INA winning 3-2 is a bit like that.
Barca's defeat from Bayern proves to us that even the strongest (sport) colossus may reach a saturation point after so many years on the top... and will eventually go down. No one immune. Even Man. United. Even Brazil. Even China in badminton. When is this "saturation point", that is the question. Until that time comes, the fanboys/girls are free to hurrah-hooray, defend the association's uber-patriotic walkov- I mean strategic withdrawal, and belittle ROW players.

http://hahasportstream.blogspot.com.au/ says court 1. But since it MNCTV (Indonesian TV channel), I'm assuming they will broadcast CHN-INA match. Currently still airing commercial so I can't confirm yet.
