    I guess attack is the best form of defence.

    Their victory is not only about winning another title. It is a display of grit, determination, perseverance and mostly importantly never giving up in face of the odds.

    So for Chia/Yik, these two need to practice on not allowing the attack and driving better so that they can get on the attack. I didn't watch their other matches so I don't know how they got to the finals, but in this finals, they were giving Ahsan/Setaiwan the attack all the time in the 2nd and 3rd set.

    You can criticized the malaysian pair all you want but when hendra is playing like he did in the second and third game, you just can't do anything...he's still the best when he's in the zone.

    Yeah, INA MD still proves its capability. I am happy.
    Yeah, good night. I am glad that INA team won't return home empty handed.

    Well for a rookie pair, they did well coming this far but they still have a long way to go. If they continue to hone their skills, they have potential to do well in future

    The last time i saw Hendra that emotional must be against Lee/Yoo in AsianGames final during those last points and even for celebrations, its still quite muted from ahsanHendra compared to then.

    Congrats to Ahsan and Hendra for winning the AE. Especially Hendra, despite his injury.
    A lesson taught that conviction and belief can prevail against all odds.

    Don't make sense..unless change "malaysian pair" to "indonesian pair"
    Also I have not seen much criticism on the indonesian pair..praises yes. Gushing much.

    Excellent master class by indonesian pair. I hope the Malaysian pair's take away from all this is...never get your guard down ...in the heady stratosphere of top 10 md badminton, there is very very little room for mistakes

    Agree. This is an important lesson for the MAS rookies.

    Even lee/yoo was forced to defend most of the times when they meet ahsan/hendra back then, the only difference was the koreans can make the rally longer because of their defense, not the same case with this malaysian pair..
