THere's also the issue of politics. The coaches dont have final say in the selection. NSC will have a say, the BAM coaching committee will have a say,etc. It was CWF who beat CJ in AE 2008, but yet CWF was not selected for TC reserve(Arif went) or OG sparring (TCS went) or certain tourneys(while the rest got to go). This despite Misbun mentioning in the press that CWF had most potential among the 4 to be next LCW. It's sthing like this - if they do ok, so? Doesnt mean they get better chances. Improve or no improve, not much difference.
Do you mean AE2007? CJ won AE2008 (a spectacular final with LD dragging an injured leg and stylishly returned almost anything from CJ ).
Just like our GROWTH physically, badminton also the same... from certain age 17-21 (in my opinion) players should get as much international exposure as possible... if after 21 only get, it might slow their progress down... o they might not develop as fast. just my2cents
They should take like the 14 or 15(?) year old intanon ratchanok for example. limsy can u tell u more about that
then try to find the 1st reason well,cwf beat cj in india open,not ae. but then,as kak helang said,he didnt get EXTRA chance,then what for play hard?train hard? in bam,train hard is not equal to chance to competition,better result is not equal to more chance to play in tournament,and acheivement is not equal to ur salary(except datuk lcw) get what i mean?
ratchanok is different case i afraid. anyway,this is the problem of chicken and egg bam/nsc say u have no result,whyi send u? player wll say i didnt have chance to play,where got result? then u judge by urself who correct lor
well,cwf beat cj in india open,not ae. [/quote] Oh ya lah, me getting old liao, got the wrong tourney . Only remember's it was 1st quarter 2008.
