I think ctjcad, think that KKK/TBH is not good enough due to their recent failure in few Opens.. moreover, KKK/TBH after their famous AE 2007 win, only managed to win handful of Super Series and Opens title and no more big titles.....but we cannot deny KKK/TBH is the best pair that Mas have at the moment or I can say for the last 10 years....until a new pair emerge, i think our best bet will still be KKK/TBH.... if ctjcad have any doubts, please feel free to comment...
If they are still our best pair based on their results/performances, then MAS MD is in a sorry state. In fact, WS,WD and MS too, after LCW retires.
Sad to be true....who else can we name now?? Fuzzy is gone case...HTH/OSH not young anymore.... The current back-up or juniors need exposure...and I do not expect to see results from them so fast.. but we do have bigger pool of talents in WS, ie YLL, Sonia, TJY, WD, ie. WKW/Vivian, NHL/NHE, etc, MS, younger batch, Iskandar, Syawal, Zulfadli, not to forget our big group of MD players... we might have a bright future...
Msia have never won WC, OG, so no comparision. When the great players were around in the 1950s, 1960s, there was no WC, OG. KKK/TBH won the AE in MD after 25 years, I'm just glad we dont have to wait another 25 years for another. Same goes for AG, after 36 years(the Sidek bros also didnt manage to win 1), hope it's not >12 years wait.
Not only that, anyone would have known the answer to this if they know something about MAS badminton He's just teasing.
..i was waiting for the laughter and the LOL smilies...c'mon guys!.. comments??..we are in the related thread, aren't we??....
kkk / tbh i guess sumthing wrong with this pair...are they performance still the same but others improving a lot? or are they performance dropping drastically? we need more back up player to support them... there's too much pressure on kkk / tbh and lcw to perform well...
I think is the combinations of both, many pairs are improving while their game is unpredictable... I can say stagnant a bit...
KKK/TBH have been stagnant since 2007, probably their game might even go down simply because they have no fire in them any more. If you want them to play well, wait for the WC. I'm sure they will have the fire in them burning again.
kkk / tbh true... motivation can help this pair to increase their game... maybe by winning sumthing they'd never won before will help them to improve... maybe WC, who knows rite? whatever it is, as i said before, we still need more back up players in md or ms... we can't to depend on lcw n kkk / tbh because this will give them more pressure to perform well....
Well, do any of you think that part of this is Rexy's fault for letting them so loose and unmotivated? I, personally, as much as I thank Rexy for having quality back-up MDs and forming the Koo-Tan partnership, I believe that part of the blame of them going downhill is Rexy's fault. Rexy Manaiky, although I believe he should not rule and dominate Koo Kien Keat's life, he should try to set some ground rules to keep him in order. One's personality is hard to change, but it can be controlled, like how most students in school are kept under control because of the rules. He should not let KKK go out clubbing and so on often, and restrict it to only a few times a month or so. Also, as their coach, he should be responsible for fanning the fire in them - to keep them motivated. Also, he should not let TBH get lax too. What do you guys think? Should Rexy also be pointed at for this pair's lack of motivation, or not?
kkk / tbh well, it's an intresting topic to discuss from my opinion, rexy shouldnt be blame 100% for kkk / tbh dropping performance... a mentor can only help and guide their protege but it's the protege himself / herself that shud decide whether they want to follow it or not... when there is a will, there is a way... without self motivation, no matter how good the coach u have, it wont work... i was attracted with the chinese badminton team... when they were preparing for beijing olympic games 2008, their players were willing to be involved with military training which is very tough for an athlete... in the end, they achieved success... same goes with thomas cup 2010... i guess, if we have aim or goal be targeted, we will be willing to sacrifice anything to achieve it... due to this, i fully respect LCW for his commitment for badminton... im not saying that kkk / tbh have lost appetite for success, what they need is more self encouragement... they are still the best MD in malaysia n probably in the world, and im actually one of their fans... i really hope both of them can win WC this year...
Well, this is something we all should be proud of Koo is the flag bearer for malaysia team in the opening ceremony of the asian games in GZ, China.. ASIAN GAMES – Koo flag bearer for Malaysia BY RAPHAEL SACHETAT – – OCTOBER 28, 2010POSTED IN: NEWS After Nathan Robertson carrying the English flag in Delhi”s Opening Ceremony, badminton will once again be under the spotlight in the Opening Ceremony of the upcoming Asian Games as Koo Kien Keat has been chosen by the Malaysian Olympic Committee to be the flag bearer for his country’s delegation on November 12th in Guangzhou, China. Both shuttlers also happen to be SOLIBAD Ambassadors. The committee chairman, Ng Chi Chai, who is also the BAM secretary, said that Kien Keat’s selection was a good recognition for the association. “We are pleased that Kien Keat has been given the honour to lead the Malaysian contingent in the opening ceremony on Nov 12 and we have accepted it. It has been some time that a prominent figure from badminton was given this mandate,” said Chin Chai to Malaysia’s Star newspaper. http://www.badzine.net/news/asian-games-koo-flag-bearer-for-malaysia/9304/
I agree that we should be proud of them. It sure took them a long time to prove themselves worthy to be called Malaysia and World No. I doubles specialists.
anyone here think koo/tan worth to be world no.1 double specialist?acording to post 1296 so the flag bearer news are under the downhill thread sound negative haha
Sounds negative? Come on, that's something every baddy enthusistic should be proud of.. at least there's a name for badminton there.... from going downhill now are currently making the country proud. HOPE no more downhill. Think positive
people wont feel this is something negative if u post it in http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...n-Kiet-Tan-Boon-Heong-Rexy-Combination/page52 rather than here hehe
Would you not agree that at that point in time, the standard of both Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong dropped like torpedoes? Anyway, those were things of the past, they have proven that they were in the lean periods then...........
