Bazarova/Deputat aren't doing too badly. I think they do have a certain natural chemistry. Two fourth places is very solid for a first season. Not to mention the teams they ended up behind (the Chinese, K/S, S/K) are really good.Well it's a toss-up with new teams. Sometimes after re-pairing you get a Volosozhar/Trankov or an Ilinykh/Zhighanshin... And other times you get a Bazarova/Deputat or Sinitsina/Katsalapov, much to the chagrin of certain posters who hyped them up.
