Iskandar Zulkarnain

after todays performance, i shd say he deserve a thread of his own. although still a work in progress, that was a decent show of heart in that axiata cup semifinal against dh rumbaka. lets go iskandar, your time to start have arrived

Excellent fighting spirit. This Axiata cup done Iskandar good. Need more tournaments for this guy. He totally outshines Zulfadli in Axiata.

In a hand of a good coach, he could go far. Sigh.. miss Misbun

Iskandar Zulkarnain always had the talent, but just not enough opportunities to make a name for himself. Also, besides limited opportunities after being overshadowed by the 'senior 4', he also seems to have stamina problems, and loses focus during a match.

I rate Iskandar above Arif and Zulfadli!

he is a unpolished diamond... just need is more exposure. His future is definite much better than any of Malayisa elite and backup players ....

I watched Iskandar play, he got do the most that what Zulfadli, Ramdan and Arif cannot do:
Speed and Attack...

Guys, How old is Iskandar ?

I really like the way Iskandar play, I had watched his match against Hayom on Axiata Cup...His mental strength is definitely there, he just need to get more tournament experience against all different kind of players...
His strength is his mental, agility & defense....His power although quite something, adding a few more power would not harm anyway....

His clothing style is quite fancy... All of the spectators are booing him, due to his mental game during that match.. but i like it, and he did not let the spectators influence his style...Good mental..

Iskandar is 21. So is Ramdan. I like Iskandar's playing style too
Too bad Hendrawan didnt field Loh Wei Sheng (20, 2010 AJC runner up), I would like to see how he is progressing

Loh Wei Sheng is beaten by 2nd seed Ville Lang on Quarter Final... Not a bad result...

**pajrul** · 04-02-2012, 01:05 AM

hmm... the more the merrier... so now we have a good list of hopefuls... (after a long long wait) zulfadhli, misbun, iskandar and hopefully loh wei sheng....

loh wei sheng once played at his best during Youth Olympic at Singapore in 2010 as he reached semi final, only that time he got heavy injury although he was still keep on fight till the end...

**eaglehelang** · 04-02-2012, 01:53 AM

There is also Goh Soon Huat, their senior, 22 yr old. And the 3rd among the trio, Syawal, 21. Aft they graduated to senior stage, Syawal's result has been unimpressive, Ramdan & Iskandar at least got improve.

Pajrul, seems this thread better change name to Msia young back up MS

**sonnymak** · 04-02-2012, 02:08 AM

Iskandar definitely deserve this thread. He was also impressive at the Asian juniors. And now , I think he has potential better than Ramdan.

With good coaching and BAM's support, he should be able to reach top 10 in 2 years time and maybe a top 5 player in the World.

**pajrul** · 04-02-2012, 03:36 AM

or somebody should start a 'men's single hopefuls' thread or something

**Aikachan** · 04-02-2012, 06:33 AM

Dont mind if someone wants to starts thread for MAS youngsters/hopefuls etc....but eventually we still want to breakaway and threading on one single player...

This thread should stay by the way, Iskandar deserves it. Even Arif got his own thread

I also watched him against Hayom. Sure, he's fast, agressive, and powerful. But I'm not sure about good mental thingy...
How on earth did he lost 10-12 points in a row? It is even worse than the so-called 'INA disease'.
