Yes, I agree with you, Sandy! 3 Marias from Djarum! .....well, maybe we'll put in Firda as an alternative... I like her smile. She keeps smiling at me... Such a sexy smile... ...and frankly she is still better than Maria Elfira and Maria Febe today... But maybe not by next year's Uber Cup...
INA's women's squad is really a combo of the 3 top clubs eh? Djarum, Jaya Raya, and Tangkas all have the top INA women's players... Singles Maria Kristin [Djarum] Maria Elfira [Djarum] Maria Febe [Djarum] Firdasari [Jaya Raya] Pia Zebaidah [Jaya Raya] Fransisca Ratnasari [Jaya Raya] Doubles Lili Natsir [Tangkas] Vita Marissa [Tangkas] Jo Novita [Tangkas] Endang N. [Tangkas] Greysia Polii [Jaya Raya] Rani M. [Jaya Raya] I would also suggest as WD substitutes: Meliana Jauhari [Djarum] Shendy Puspa [Djarum]
Basically Kido said that Umpire cheated them....( diakali wasit), literraly umpire fooled them....he did complaint about it and at the same time, He praised a good play of FHF/CY.
from the report of International badminton.org..They mentioned that Vita/butet are "tiny indonesians"...... The writer must be blind not to see those muscles and big legs than their chinese counter parts...
Ina's player always have an excuse for their loss. I remembered MK / HS blame the umpire in WC 06 when they loss to England's pair.
Actually in this final, I might agree with the players ....as Service judge faults most of foreign players' service, I did not see one for CHN...4 service fault equals 4 points to opponents....also 2 for ENG if I am correct...Does not mean that they would win but at least the score could be tighten...
In NSS, 4 service fault equals 8, not 4 points to opponents. Eg if A is 5 and B is 3 before wrong call,A would have been 6 and B 3 if correct. Instead it becomes A is 5 and B 4. So what should have been 6-3 becomes 5-4. So even one wrong call can determine the wrong winner.The worse thing about service fault calls is that it is likely to jitterbug the poor victimised player so he cannot continue to play his best.It's the easiest way for the sj to decide the match outcome.Never underestimate the power of the sj.Umpire is nothing compared to the sj's sleaze.
It is not neccessarily 6-3. If the chance of winning a rally fairly is 50%, then it could have been 6-3 or 5-4 equally. Therefore, the average difference is still 1 point. I agree with you about the psychological effect.
Depends. In most cases, it is about line calls. In this case, the rally is over, so the difference between right and wrong is 2 points.
