Candra will take turn to play MD with Luluk and Flandy. MAS Open: with Luluk AE and Swiss Open: with Flandy Flandy will play mix also, starting at KOR Open with ....( I cant reveal the name) but it will be a surprise.... Candra expressed to play mix also with Greysia but not sure if PBSI will allow it yet as Greysia/Nitya is not that stable.
It seems that many INA players will skip Korea as it is too expensive for them plus "bad experiences" from last year...
Flandy will partner with an INA player? Candra Wijaya has so far formed a good partnership with Greysia Polii. Grace needs a mature partner to help her improve and hopefully win some titles. I think Candra should have a few good years left in him by playing XD. It's less demanding too
Flandy will partner with someone else...........I heard that Tony may partner with Howard Bach again.....lets see!
ummm... flandy playing with new partner as for being PRO or INA NATIONAL TEAM??? hmmm.. so curious.. then who is greysia partnering with in XD if PBSI wont allow her with chandra? Nova? lol.. maybe just to concentrate in WD..
I think the WD coach wanted her to concentrate in WD now.....now INA has enough XD pairs. Flandy will be a PRO ...I hope to see that Badminton will be a PRO like Tennis....
wah..chandra will keep changing partner... will this affect his performance with 2 different partner ..?
All those travels... ..you know Howie misses playing with Tony, don't ya??... ..going pro, meaning Flandy will have to incur all the expenses out of his own pocket?? or he has a sponsor??..
Somehow I think Greysia's future should be brighter in XD rather than WD But well, the coaches know the best It's good to see Flandy Limpele still continuing his career as a badminton player, following Candra Wijaya's path after he left PBSI in 2005. Yes, I hope that Luluk Hadiyanto and other players who might be leaving PBSI in the near future also follow their footsteps.
If they are still playing as a player from INA, they have not left PBSI. Just not in the national team... Anytime they can be called on to play in the Thomas Cup/Sudirman Cup team...
This is new PBSI Cabinet ( 2008-2012) Chairman: Djoko Santoso Deputy to Chairman 1: Letjen Sabar yudo Saroso Deputy to Chairman 2: I Made Oka Special Advisor to Chairman: M.F.Siregar Yan hariadi G.Sulistianto ( dont know why this guy is here...) Suwandi General secretary: Jacob Rusdianto Deputy to General secretary: Arief rachman Finance Chief: Letjen Djenjen Djauhari Deputy to Finance Chief 2: Johannes Deputy to Finance Chief 3: Serian Wiyatno ( dont know why they chose him again.....)

Organization chief : Kusdarto ( dont know what to do with this) Matches/tournament chief: Mimi Irawan, the Iron Lady....haha Litbang chief ( forgot whats thats stand for): Prof.Dr.Hari setiono Fund chief: Tri hatma, thought it was yunhono ali? Foreign affair chief: juniarto Suhandinata, good choice Good luck...seems that PBSI has so many Military guys....no guns please when quarrel.....hehe
Litbang... stands for Penelitian dan Pengembangan, in English term, they call it R & D. Aussie fitness coach and that error-prone lady responsible for registering players (Ibu Yanti, isn't it?), are they still in their position? And...what is the difference between Finance Chief and Fund Chief?
These four gentlemen will decide who shall be in the INA National Team starting January 2009. But I heard the team won't be as large as today [due to lack of $$$]... Let's pretend we are the new PBSI management... Who should be included in Pelatnas in January 2009: MS [6 players] Taufik Hidayat Sony Dwi Kuncoro Simon Santoso Andre Kurniawan Tedjono Tommy Sugiarto Nugroho Andi Saputro WS [6 players] Maria Kristin Yulianti Firdasari Pia Zebadiah Maria Febe Kusumastuti Lindaweni Fanetri Febby Angguni MD [7 pairs] Kido-Hendra Rian-Yoke Joko-Rendra Hendra-Alvent Bona-Ahsan Edo-Lingga Wifqi-Alfiat Note: INA is especially good in MD... WD [5 pairs] Lili-Vita Mel-Shendy Greysia-Nitya Rani-Endang Debby-Richie Note: we do not have too many competitive WD at this time... XD [4 pairs] Lili-Nova Vita-Rijal Fran-Shendy Tantowi-Richie There... 40 people... Economical... Note: I did not include Luluk and Flandy because I believe they want to go independent... Following the footsteps of Candra Wijaya... Still playing as players from INA, but not part of Pelatnas...
