Abedeng did a very good job giving live reports, he should be commentator lah. Some of the tv commentators cant even get the names right.
1) for some fans, same as they dont boo (if they dont) at the WD - they are females. Surprising to me too, in this age of equal this & that. The answer I got from some young men:"Ladies lah, wait they cry. Look like we bully women. Guys are supposed to be stronger, can take it" Or "Women players no point to watch even" 2) how you know they never boo? I presume you went & watch? I used to think ppl dont boo at the oldies, CTF/LWW, cos I didnt hear the boos on tv & well... they're veteran. They had their share too - almost every Msia male player, except maybe good ol WCH. They still respect him for coming back after the Achilles tendon injury.
The Boo-Boo, Jeer-Jeer(My fav Chinese Desserts ) thingy is very common in badmad countries such as MAS & INA
today cheer chong wei untill had no voice!! must drink some green tea to get dome voice back and ceer in tomoro1s final!! lee chong wei boleh!!!
Mew Cho skill is still pretty green compare to top notch player, the only way for Mew Cho to win is by long rally and drag into rubber. Zhu Lin is a very skillful player.
Revenge is sweet. LCW's total annihilation of CY in the 2nd set is similar to what he did to CJ and BCL in FO07.
I don't think LCW play his best game beating CY...in fact both players did not play well except that CY played worst.
It didnt matter as its enough already to beat CY. LCW didnt back off during the 1st set, always staying positive in the game; CY on the other hand was mentally rattled esp after failing to convert the set points he had during 1st game. LCW toying with him in the 2nd.
I was there, equipped with a compact camera! Come to my blog to catch some pictures and a few videos. http://www.hot-screensaver.com/2008/01/21/proton-malaysia-open-badminton-championships-2008/ Cheers!
