IMO Malaysia may not do too well in this Thomas Cup campaign.
Why? Malaysia has only one "very strong" single player in Dato LCW. Liew Daren & Hafiz - one is still new and raw and the other is too unpredictable. My take is Malaysia will win one single and lost the other two singles if encounter teams like SKorea, Indonesia or Denmark. Of course, if versus South Africa, it will be a breeze for Malaysia.
As for the doubles - one is in the decline and the other has not shown maturity as yet. So, my take is that it will be a fifty-fifty affair in the first doubles, while the other one is not a sure win.
