Hehehe - I was just thinking of lobbying for a poll/sticky for the BEST PLAYERS instead of relying SOLELY on the BWF/IBF rankings..........now that there have been TOOOOO MANY KINGPINS in both the MEN and WOMEN section lately - especially with the sudden emergence of the likes of Fairuzizuan and Zakry (who have been dumping quite a number of famed doubles pairs including KKK and TBH) as well as the "RESURRECTION?" of Lee Chong Wei, and as for the women, names to watch out for lately include Petya Nedeltcheva and even Tine Rasmussen besides famous names of Xie Xingfang, Pi Hongyan and Zhang Ning :D Any takers?

Aiyo, so many new names coming up already. KKK and TBH dropped form temp. only. I have stopped following the world badminton scenes for a month plus only. Wow, have to check the local sport's news liao. :)

[shiruikage]

KKK? siapa tu? never follow the scene liou loor. thomas cup coming yet ar? malaysia still in the top six or not?

[petertok]

koo kien kiat?

[petertok]

i watched zakry played before in All-England.. very good potential..

for men i think taufik still rules altho he lost to Bao..

and the indon open is in senayan!! omg...

[lychee]

KKK? siapa tu? never follow the scene liou loor. thomas cup coming yet ar? malaysia still in the top six or not?

KKK and TBH are the men's double gold medallist in the 2007 Doha Asian Game and winner of this year All-England championship and then clinched another title in the Swiss Open. This young double has improved tremendously only in a short period of time unseen before in our history. They can match Park Joo Bong/Kim Moon Soo and Ricky Subagia/Rexy Mainaky in terms of speed, defense, attack, power and more importantly very skillful.
But our players have one problem - inconsistent in form.

[shiruikage]

dont they always?

Shiru, what are you trying to imply?:unsure:

Shiru, what are you trying to imply?:unsure:

im implying that the malaysian players hav never been consistent. sometimes good, sometimes bad. win this round, lose another. win top player, lose to lousy player.

IN that match, Bao Chun lai kept hitting the shuttles out. Gave Lee CW so many free points. But, Lee was very good too.

Lee was very cool in that match. His diving shots also saved many points..
The game was very one sided.. Lee was controlling all the way...
Ini baru-lah MALAYSIA BOLEH!!! ;)

Hmm - heard some frens comment b4 that Bao CL a bit inconsistent with his finish touches but however if Lee CW can hold his PSYCHOLOGICAL EDGE CONSISTENTLY, then his playing and his game CAN STILL GO ON......SAME GOES TO ALL OUR DOUBLES PLAYERS - and HAFIZ HASHIM MUST START TO BANGUN PAGI..............!!!!!

[Big Chief]

Chong Wei's cross-court smashes were deadly.

[PreciousPearl]

sadly for me, badminton does not get any coverage at all in the UK. i think in abt 20 yrs i've lived here, i've only seen badminton on tv twice :(

Coming soon..... :p
waaaa...congrats ODC, u kept it soooo quiet:eek:
start training oredi or not?:D

[Oddfather]

Coming soon..... :p

going to be a champ in 25 years time?? What is his name?? Ho CW?? :cheesy:

[JC]

[Anson F-Clef]

Yo Yo this is breaking newz from BWF (www.internationalbadminton.org):

KKK/TBH are world no. TWO in BWF rankings BEHIND China's Fu HF and Cai Yun........(KKK/TBH BETTER BUCK UP OR ELSE, uhmmmm)

Choong TF/ Lee WW are world no. FOUR, while..........

Lee CW is back into the singles top FIVE with his Indon Open win landing him at no. FOUR..............

Go go Malaysia - Malaysia BOLEH!!!!

Great news. These young doubles rise so fast from being unknown and unseeded less than a year ago to their latest world no. 2 ranking. But looking at their current form, coach Rexy Mainaky must be fuming mad hor.......

Go, go.....KKK and TBH. Aim for the Olympic doubles' gold medal next year. :)

[PreciousPearl]

That's odd... considering that the All-England badminton championship is one of the more prestigious tournament... :huh: :huh:

the name only All England.....actually played at venues all over the world. not broadcast generally in the UK even when it was played recently at Birmingham :sad-2:

Two pairs same-same lost wat. Why can't we churned out consistent and formidable players like China hor? Latest results, M'sia beat Thai 3-2.Commentators....do you think we still have chance to go semi-final or not?

Recently, I watched one Chinese sports' documentary and it was reported that Li Yongbo has so far been able to train 100 world-class badminton players as PRC's chief badminton coach. Amazing. :huh:

China population is 50 times more than Malaysia. Malaysia can produce a few world class players with only 26 million population. So, his achievement is not really that good la.... :laugh: :p

Hopefully these players will rise again from their yoyo form to shook the world. Stay focus guys for Beijing Olympic medals....Go for Gold!!!

I propose our sports ministry should send our aspiring youngsters for training stints/sparring with the PRC's players for a period of time, say 6 months to a year in order to pick up invaluable experiences eg. their staying power, defense/attack skills, court's endurance and most importantly adhering 100% all the strict disciplines lay down by the Chinese coaches....."NO PAIN, NO GAIN".....:unsure:

Will PRC accept?

Our previous coaches were from China eg Fang Kaixiang, Han Jian, etc but I remember some of the players complained about the tough training methods.

Wanna write personally to Datuk A the ministeress ah? But then hor, what do u think went wrong with our coaching method instead?? Or is it REALLY........?? :unsure:

Knock and the door shall be opened mah......:cheesy:

Just look at our top artistic gymnast, Ng Shu Wai. He was based in China for the last few years and he was a silver medallist at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

And the world top ranking squash players, Ong Beng Hee and Nicol Davids. They are both based in UK and Amsterdam respectively and have brought continuous glory to Malaysian. No doubt squash players get strong sponsorship and endless supports from the Malaysian Squash Associations (MSA) and the National Sports Council (NSC). That's why, I was suggesting if BAM can consider sending our potential young shuttlers over to the PRC's badminton academy. Let them face the hardship and acquire valuable lessons there instead of wasting their untapped skills locally under the charge of imported coaches.

You're right TK. I also read some of our problematic players staged a walk out when they couldn't bear the punishing training programmes set by these coaches, whether the Chinese coaches, Morten Frost Hansen or Park Joo Bong.....of course some produced some relatively good results in their participated tournaments but not sustainably good enough......slacking sooo......easily.....Those were the old horses. All retired liao, some become coaches, businessmen and also had a brief stint as actors, haha.....

Aiyah Anson, kita sembang-sembang di sini cukuplah. I thot she already has a 'huge plan' for our sportsmen and sportswomen mah......building a massive sports' complex in UK......what's the cost ah?......Did our cabinet approve this so call 'good idea' ah? Konon with the sacrificing of the taxpayers' money, our athletics will improve.....??. Harap-harap semua jadilah. We want to see real results not 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam' resultslah :weird:

Latest news: Lee Chong Wei downed Taufik H after his Japan Open Semifinal rout of Lin Dan - to be crowned this year's Jap Open's Champ - TABIK!

Lee Chong Wei is the newly-crowned Men's Singles Champion defeating Bao Chunlai (LCW should I think, thank Lin Dan for losing to BCL in the semis, betul tak?)

Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng prevailed in their continued rivalry with Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah in straight games......

Kudos to Wong Mew Choo in reaching the semis of the Women's Singles, beating about 2 seeded players en route to the semis.....

BAh!! malaysian shuttlers are sooo inconsiitant one. can win one month, lose teruk teruk the second. olimpic gold medal?? sure boh? i doubt it very much lar, altho i really hope malaysians can have at least one badminton gold medalist to snub the haughty silliporeans shuttlers.

[lynnee]

Can't beat the era of Han Aiping, Li Ling Wei, Yang Yang, Han Jian,Morten Frost Hansen, Prakash Padukone, Park Joo Bong & Kim Moon Soo or Tian Bingyi & Li YongBo. Current players...lack passion and humility.

[dcrusader]

well done KKK-TBH,CTF-LWW and Chong Wei (before an early scare by Boonsak)!
with the China top pair and Lin Dan knocked out yesterday, looks like our boys are on the way to smash down (pardon the pun) the Great Wall!
Malaysia Boleh!!!!:laugh:

[jerrychoo2004]
