if BAM don't send them, TBH will cry quit just like how he behave when he knew he is not choosen for Commonwealth Games....WC just a ticket to make TBH happy
It is ridiculous that TBH isn't playing with a decent partner. He is one of the best md players on the planet and BAM are making a mockery of him. Malaysia you really need to sort it out.
BAM has over the past few months been trying him with different partners to test out. Well... all except LKW because he's also a lefty We shall see who'll end up being his regular partner. My money would be on GVS, or HTH... if only he manage to get fitter.
i prefer TBH to partner with HTH as not because they once former WJC, but their experiences which are TBH's attack and HTH's "CKT" defence... if they truly on superb form...
Yes, HTH's defence is not only good, but he often turns it into a counterattack that sometimes is even better than LYD.
making out and competing in a badminton competition is different. they may click together very shiokly but to win WC....
I admire player of this size can do so well in the international level but I would think GVS is the better player (now and future). HTH visibly slowed down in after first game in recent TC final against the japs.
how about TWK? seems good and faster at the front court ... Has anyone watch their recent match against LYD/YYS? How is it?
If they won, BAM may paired them together again and it would be disastrous. Clearly it is fitness problem. They lost yesterday's match. Both TBH/TWK made some unforced errors otherwise they could have won.
There's more chance of finding a polar bear in Malaysia in the forest than these two guys winning the world championships.
TBH has shown some improvement in his play recently, although his tendency to lift shuttle and showing lackadaisical playing style still affecting his play. He used to be the most exiciting player to watch, and i can tell he's trying to keep excitement in his recent matches. He still the most complete player (left handed, smashing, netplay, game reading etc ) compared to others. He should have a permanent partner, definitely not KKK. TWK doesn't have the desire to win, probably too used to losing with previous partner.GVS is cool and right handed. Ah how, never mind. LKW not reliable. the coach, esp PangCC doesnt seem to know his player well. experimenting players in different tournament within weeks wont help him to evaluate the partnership. also his mouth also cannot shut when watching the match . hehe, ok ask yapkimhock to come back
Just watched Koo team up with Tan for one last tournament run at the WC. Good to see both of them play so freely, especially Koo with his creative front court play and many entertaining between the legs saves on full display to win over the young CHN pair.
yes indeed, there are several shots especially in the second match, this is one of the interestung rallies, at around 33 mins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAB5PekptAs&list=UUhh-akEbUM8_6ghGVnJd6cQ#t=1975 Koo is not at his best form but what a funmatch to watch!
can see that they are having fun, would like to see them go far but from yesterday match display, dont think koo/tan can get pass the taiwanese pair today...
to win against the taiwanese, it has to be play flat and let the taiwanese do most defend rather than attack, especiall Tsai Chia Hsin he never do 'jumping' smash...
my heart hope they can win the next match but my head tell me they unlikely, look at koo yesterday, already out of stamina. the only thing they can relly on is their good defence... but also very hard to win matches with defence alone
