** THUD!!!** It all came crashing down, Malaysia Boleh style MS WR1 packed off nicely in the 1st round by a junior chinese shuttler. On the side note, in the near future, I hope our back up to the elite or whatever elite or super elite juniors we have now can do likewise and upset China's top man, LD in the first round and send the man packing. I hope our MS WR1, SO champion wont be packed off again in Hyderabad in the first round come 5 months time. Let's not count this India Open as a failure in view of this 1st round bye bye. Dear bolehians, lets all form a circle, hold hands and list down the positives from this India Open trip in view of the WC in Aug. The positives I can think of are as follows: LCW will know which are the good indian restaurants to go to as compared to LD LCW will know where to shop for the best bargains LCW will be able to recommend to KKK/TBH which hair saloon in Hyderabad to go to during the WC. LCW gets to fly home early to KL just in time to catch Akademi Fantasia As such, this exit is not that bad really. Whats important is the WC in Aug. Lets hope and slaughter a goat and a rooster so that come Aug in Hyderabad, our LCW will have both luck and strength to pull through. Malaysia semua boleh punya!!!
i think positive #1 should be: 1. LCW will know which are the BAD indian restaurants (that gave him the food poisoning) to avoid as compared to LD
In that case, my thread should be 'From Whitewashing to unfortunate food poisoning in less than 14 day'
If falling ill is considered an excuse & failure.... , then Malaysian players must be like super human, cannot fall sick one . In that case, when other countries players fall ill/injured & lost, then also must start new thread, will have many new threads.
if he is ill, i think at least we can spare him this excuse or else...i am kinda disappointed with this results if he is tired or something, he shouldnt show up in Hyderabad
LCW kalah in 1st round ... NO BIG DEAL ... sometime u menang sometime u kalah ... glad to see young player win this tournmt ..... i still believe LCW BOLEH in WC
I think it is more due to fatigue than anything else. I mean the poor lad have been away since the AE flying all over playing badminton, staying in nice hotels and I am sure he is already starting to miss home already. If it is food poisoning, the entire Malaysian entourage would have been hit. Its time we bring the poor lad home. Let him rest up and he will be back bolehing in no time.
Miss, where got miss? Read again esp paragraph 2 to 5 (?), it's exactly what it means : FAILURE and the mocking thereafter. If not, why need to start new thread. Or our Oldhand purposely pretend dunno & MIS-understand again. SUpposed to have a lot.... of new threads, cos sure got players injured lah, sicklah(PG broke his toe, remember, at home some more, tsk tsk) Meanwhile, anyone know why Liew Daren's match still no results?
Now this is a rather unpleasant surprise! It goes to show how many talented juniors China really has and it wont be any easier for LCW and other non-CHN aspirants. Imagine LCW beating the daylights out of (almost 'whitewashing') Chen Long in the first game allowing him to score only 7 points and then losing the next two. Now this is something which the two datuks have to seriously look into and find a solution for before the WC. Surely a headline news for unseeded junior Chen Long to beat the WR1!
At this level of the game, it's surely strange if one decides to play when ill. After all, this was just a first round match, not a final or a semi-final or a match that would decide the winner of a team championship. If Lee Chong Wei were too ill to play, would it not be saner and safer to withdraw from the tournament? He could also have done so at any stage of the match. In fact, had he withdrawn after the first game, that would have stood in his favour as he had won the opener. (I'm pretty certain that someone will respond to this with allusions to tales of courage, sacrifice and commitment!) But, to trot out what is definitely an excuse after being felled by someone who is yet a bystander in the Chinese side isn't quite becoming of the World # 1 Years from now, Chong Wei's loss will remain on record. The excuse, founded or not, will fade from memory.
I dont under some of boleh fans here. What is so wrong with that word; failure??? LCW today got beaten by a better shuttler today, period. And that shuttler is a junior Chinese shuttler, fact. What is so wrong with losing?
Pemuda..I believe this Hyderabad is a place for surprise.. Maybe in the next 5 month time, you will need to create a thread "From Whitewashing to zero;from zero to HERO!" As LCW won the WC....Promise ok?
whatever reason, LCW is still normal human... accept the failure... and bounce back to win WC in Hyderabad again maybe he is just wanna practise "bounce back from the place he fall down"???
