I hope you didn't misunderstand my post earlier... I made a typo and it was supposed to say that for those who think LD's 3 or 4 years being #1 still can not prove he is the best in this century is just ridiculous, but I definitely made a silly typo.
His name is Liu Jun. I would say he is the chinese version of 'H. Hafiz'. He is tall and handsome looking. He won the 1992 AE MS title but didn't shine at all in the 1992 olympic. Afterward in the same year, he came to calgary to compete in our 1992 canadian open. I thought he would take the title easily but he was beaten by a no name korean Jae Chang Ahn in 2 sets. Liu Jun did beat foo kok kong in the semi tho but FKK was old and slow by then. LJ seem to lack focus and i think he had other aspiration outside of badminton. China team booted him out but as for Hafiz, he's still finding himself hehehe
It's polite of you to pick it up, besides it wasn't directed at you but it's for those who just refuse to accept facts & figures & chose to criticise unconstructively.
i tot this guy name shld pronouce as "Luan Jing" in chinese BTW Ann Jae Chang is quite a good stroke players rite?
No no no, Luan Jin is a different person, who played in the same generation as Morten Frost, Han Jian, Liem Swie King, Prakash Padukone and Misbun. Liu Jun was in the same era as Ardy Wiranata, Rashid Sidek, Thomas Stuer Lauridsen, Hariyanto Arbi etc ........
Gosh.. WCH is back in top20 and is now Mas#2.. What the heck is wrong with Hafiz... hopeless.... in fact WCH might still stand a chance in WC if he is eligible.. for me, he is definitely better than roslin and tsuen seng..
True but Choon Hann was given every opportunity to qualify but failed. I guess Choon Hann would be selected instead of Roslin if the threat of law sue is not there. Lousy timing, what else can I say? Poor Lee Chong Wei, even though Malaysia has another 3 representatives but none of them seems helpful to him.
Truth. 3 of them will be useless for LCW.. He have to on his own w/o hoping on any 1 of his compatriots to clear his path into SF/finals..
I feel sorry for LCW if you love him or sound like you are his fan.If you are a true LCW fan, you'll appreciate him and his badminton talents regardless of whether he wins big or small titles. You come across as a conditional fan and continue to undermine his credibility as a winner. If LCW wins this WC, you 'll say it's because he has a good draw or because of home advantage. The last thing LCW needs is fans like you or your support. Nervous fans impart nervous energy. He is better off on his own. Why don't you just be a LD fan so you can stop fretting? ( Or maybe not yet, cos LD may start to go downhill this year,then you'll be fanning the wrong guy and start fretting again.) At least Onetoughbirdie has made progress as a fan... and exhibiting less nervous energy.Apologies in advance for my impatience but your post really breached the threshold.
Ok man, if you are really coming there is no need to antagonise you further. I don't want you to punch me up in KL.Cheers man.
Let the typo remain cos this revision is worse. Are you saying that LD's 3 or 4 years being #1 is proof that he is the best in this century? That's for simple minds! Come off it, bananaboy. Although you (or I)will never win an award for good manners (or Best Progress in it), some of your analysis are thought provoking and indicative of a complex mind. Don't act simple-minded out of spite. How about tackling some of these questions? In the 3 or 4 years LD is #1: 1) How did he win his titles? How often did his teammates lose to him ? Were there any team orders? 2) Since LD became #1, he has won many titles per year. How about giving a breakdown of # of titles per year since 2004? Does the trend indicate he's winning more titles with each succeeding year? The final tally for 2007 should be interesting. 3) If LD does not play the same # of tournaments every year, then add another indicator: percentage score i.e. # of titles won/# of tournaments played.
When will the draw comes out?? I feel tat Hafiz still can shines again if he can 'opens up his mind' n accept the fate tat his performance is getting lousy n lousy!!Everytime when he plays,he juz 'shok sendiri',play with his yo-yo style.. Misbun is definately a good coach..he noe wat to do n wat not to do..
