[xueryna]

great rally tho

[chegorita]

hard 2 imagine tht was 4 1 point

[jackroyd99]

haha did anyone hear that retard in the video going YEAH when they smashed it??

[thrashsmurf]

It's funny how some people get wrapped up in discussions of how much better at badminton they are than others. If these people were as skilled as they claimed, they would be in the finals of big badminton tournaments.

I would love to see them play against the professionals they criticise. On court you can't hide behind a keyboard.

So keep on posting pointless comments while the real badminton players keep on training ;)

[karatechili]

so damn true :P I play badminton and can admit that I think I'm good, but nothing compared to this guys :P

[StarCraftWhore]

I think people are missing the point here. Regardless of their skill level. This WAS a good rally. Who cares if they aren't the best. I know I have seen better, but this was still good.

[thefanofnufc]

quite a good rally all 90 shots of it :/ seen better

[shinanhan]

come on guys, stop doing as if you were all pros and experts in badminton ; if u really have skill, prove it by achieving something special and not by talking some retarted shit.thats why your comments are rated so bad. so stop discuss your problems here, ok?

[stryeker]

grr I wana play with them...

[ayrCAP]

im better than they defending :/

[apaansehneh]

wow what a nice control from both of the team

they really know how to put the shuttlecok on their opponent zone..

two thumbs up

[TrystProductions]

That... was awesome. :)

I wish I could smash like that. :O

Lightning speed!

[daking250]

funny how people try to show off that they play badminton by using all the correct terms and stuff.

nice rally

[HoloLotus]

There not that great. If they truely knew what they were doing they wouldn't do an underarm shot close to the net.

[DongFangShuo]

Umm, underarm? Is that the term they use in England for underhand shot? Because if it isn't, then I'm not sure if you're the most qualified person to make the comment that you made there.

This rally perhaps had less variety than some others, but it was a good one nevertheless.

[chewbaka747]

lemme guess, u dont play badminton do u?

[chewbaka747]

lol, hololotus, yes i was talking to u. mainly because if u played then u would understand why they would do an 'underarm' shot close to the net. not all shots are high enough to be killed, especially in professional badminton, and those shots that can be killed are 99% of the time set up by one of the players.

[HoloLotus]

I do play Badminton actually and while not up to the standard here, I think I'm pretty good. (I know that sounds cocky but there's no easy way to say that). All I was trying to say was that while yes some shots do have to be underarm at the net, if they are being hit repeatedly in the same spot after a while the reciever can get a smash in. Sending it high again just gives them another chance.

[chewbaka747]

true, but i guess if they are going to defend they would have to send it high, or else anything lower than what they are doing will be smashed with ease and thatll just put more pressure on themselves as defenders. the higher it is the more time they have to recover and get ready to return the next smash. but like they did, instead of lifting it they put in a flat defend which forced the opponent to either hit it straight to them at the front or lift it to the back where they hav a better chance

[HoloLotus]

Earlier comments made by you had a confincing logical argument Now ur just talking rubbish. The LOWER the shuttle on the return the harder it is 2 smash. Yes when u lift u get more time to prepare for the next shot but you give them more time to get into posistion and so be able to smash it harder than before. If the shuttle was low when returned from the smash then all they can do is lift reversing the situation or hit it straight back which is an easy shot to counter as it will be quite weak.

[chewbaka747]

when i said 'anything lower than wat they are doing will be smashed with ease', i meant if they are going to lift it they will have to lift it high, no lower than wat they are doing. its either a high, right-to-the-back lift or a flat drive, no in between.

[HoloLotus]

So? I could lift it high from the back of my side of the court to the back of the other side aged 11. (I started playing aged 10) It wouldn't be a hard thing to do would it?

[chewbaka747]

wat does whether u can clear the shuttle from ur back end of the court to the other have anything to do with wat kind of shot to play after your opponent drops it to u? meh anyways im not trying to argue so yea congratulations for achieving a simple clear at 11 years old, really, no sarcasm.

[HoloLotus]

My point is that lifting a shuttle isn't hard and if a 11 years old can do it world a wolrd class proffessional can do it.

[Jerayjay]

RAPE

[herunarivelice]

Below regional-level badminton usually it's best to defend against smashes with light blocks or pushes, which I believe is what you suggested. But at the world level this is usually risky, because the opponent at the forecourt is usually fast enough to net-kill it. So they usually block it to the rear-court and hope for an opportunity. Chewbaka747 is right here.

[gammaray4evrr]

yea but at world level the defense is extremely good

[ckwan28]

How much better do you expect from these pros? They are brilliant players, its cos they're both at high levels, they make it look easy.

[mikanden123]

It was long, but the badminton itself wasn't "fantastic" for professionals as they are..

[ringsanoj99]

wow, they are really good, play badminton myself :P

[007islander]

Tony and Chandra are legends! They won Olympic 2000 and are still playing until now. They are my fav players.

[sunsetconmartini]

wow tony gunawan and chandra... way to go!

[NIAirsoft]

There is a longer one of this showing more of the rally, it's great though

[sameen1]

wow

[bobbio122]

GREAT reflexes.

[israel4ever100]

lmaol the green team was so relaxed compared to the otehr team were workign teher asses off

[rhodneyt]

@israel4ever100 Yeah, but look who's currently ranked higher (LYD and JJS). Tony Gunawan's new partner is Howard Bach. Nothing against Howard, but I think Tony has better chemistry with Chandra Wijaya.

[10STRINGS]

just saw tony gunawan the other day. Super player!!!!

[federerrafa]

holy fizzlesticks! :) How long was THAT rally?!

[teeranont]

tony gunawan candra wijaya VS the koreans (most likely Lee yong dae - jung jae sung)

[BonniePB]

Captain bloody fantastic!!!

[ohjhing]

[raphk121]

[vegebrorsan]

[r3mym4rt3n]
