Liew Daren

I pick A.
LD is also very prone to injuries.
It's either George or me who is correct.

Liew Daren is very injury-prone indeed. I pick A too.

[waja11]

I agreed and i picked A too,but even though he is quite injury prone i think no one can deny that currently he is the best single in Bam after LCW base on his international result recently.What do you guys think?

Yes, his results compared to the rest of the back-up is much better, pretty much about the top 30 standard...

24 is defo late.. but so was lcw! hope tat he is a late bloomer like our national hero lcw!!! malysia boleh!

[george@chongwei]

I believe he can be better if he doesn't get injured easily always

The problems is in his training, physical training....if he managed to improves his physical, he will be even better........I think he is lazy in gym for physical training.

Yeah you might be hardworking in technical and improving your techniques and everything but gym is a whole different thing... but so far I can only see LCW the one with full muscles... TBH also not as much as LCW

Hopefully no under-10..

if CL played in 3 games against DL this proved he is still below the LCW-LD's level...

The possibility of playing 3 games is 99.99% impossible.

Daren is al least 2 level below CL.

WRONG!!, is a 'heaven and earth' situation...!!

He played quite well against Chen Long today, hopefully there will be a time where he can finally check in to the quarter-final of a super series again, the draw at France just wasn't kind for him!!

DL played very well indeed. Fighting point to point with CL. Even caught CL off guard in many occassions. I have seen other back up players like ChanKB, CWF, Arif etc performed but these players basically are stroke players, very hard to make an impact to the present 21 points format. But DL playing style is very different from other back up players - fast and furios, just like CL and LD. What he need now is continous to work hard to improve his stamina and smashing accuracy. BAM should send him to top level competition more frequently. If DL continue to make improvement .. he can be a world class player.

Yes, I agree that his style of play is very different from the rest of the backup players but it involves a huge load of risk as well, he smashed out so many times that from leading he gifted CL the second game! But imagine if most of his smashes lands on the line - I can see how he upset Simon, Lee Hyun-il, Wong Wing Ki, Wang Zhengming, Yunus Alamsyah over the past one year.

I too like to see DL play and if BAM had sent him earlier on to play, he could have improved more. At 24, a lot of precious time has been lost, and that we can thank the smart guys running BAM. I agree with a lot of what you say, except besides improving his stamina and smashing accuracy, DL needs to eat some real food, man and bulk up with some muscles. Also, your last line "if DL continue to make improvement .. he can be a world class player" should change to "If DL continue to make improvement .. he may get into 2nd round more often"....world class player, errr...that is real heavy pressure, man

[ngkt67]

this should thanks to Taufik when DL played against him in Singapore SS and Indonesia SS, all first round.

then that time DL get a lot of experiences from Taufik and till now DL can play well against CL... the only matter is hope DL don't get any injuries that will affect his career...
