Friendly match maybe lah, but the world class players will play at quarter speed. I once played a state-level player at singles in the UK. It was a serious game: he was smashing away like crazy and before I knew it, I was 0-14 down!!! Even at the carnival there were a few players whose skills and speed were vastly superior to the rest. For example: the MOF vs JBN semifinal. The JBN guys were not bad at all (the usual standard you see at any badminton halls anywhere in the world), but the MOF guys were just too good and handed them under ten scores in both sets.

After 0-2 down, and they are leading 14-9 in rubber set, Kamal/Yussop climbed back to equal 14-14 and that was when the Treasury players crumbled under pressure from the barrage of smashes! Next competition is 2 years from now. I think you will partner Kamal. Voo will be a veteran by then. The women (Irene/Chia) will be already pencen(?).So need to train the backup woman players! sextuple or hextuple-eight lah LOL
