Can't imagine otherwise for the role of the national hero... :shrug:Wierd statement. Are non-Malaysians excluded from trying out?
Does it have to be a Malaysian to play the role?

(in other words, Alec Baldwin should play Donald Trump playing Morten Frost)
TBH I think all hope had been lost in those two long before Frost arrived.Frost, while commenting some tournaments some time ago criticised the way Chong Wei Feng and Daren Liew were used as sparring partners for LCW. There were feeding him shuttles, sometimes two or three together. While convenient for LCW, this is disastrous for self-esteem and competitive spirit for the "feeding" players, who cannot believe in themselves as top players. Lieu and Chong had actually quite a potential that was never actualised.
Frost was trying to prevent this happening with the new young players I suppose. Even if they fail, a young gun arriving in the national team and on the circuit have to believe he can top the best.
If LCW has intention for a shot at World Championship 2017, I say that is fair enough. If he gets it, great stuff. I'm chuffed. If he fall short again like many times before, no biggie, fan like me will still revere him as best Malaysian player ever. He is graceful and respectful at court. I like to remember him that way, so this spat with MF is really uncalled for.
I saw LCW at practice before at a major tournament. This was more than a year ago. There were a traditional masseur from China and a physio therapist (a Caucasian lady) almost dedicated to him. He has TSB and Hendrawan, two head coaches, fully concentrated on him. Hendrawan and TSB were both very hands on when training LCW on court. I saw Hendrawan sweating profusely, age is catching up with him. Other junior Malaysian players practice on their own. These are all resources provided for by BAM. Even LD don't get that kind of a treatment in my opinion.
BAM have only so much resources, they cannot keep on pouring it on him, it is unrealistic to expect more from him in long term. MF looks to the future, which is what I think is the right thing to do to continue the legacy of Malaysia badminton. So if LCW is injured at age of 34 and MF asked the question, does he still want to carry? It is a valid and practical question and LCW should not be offended. There is so much LCW could do for Malaysia badminton beside being a player, he doesn't has to quit totally when his playing career is over.
Just my opinion, don't petrol bomb me yet![]()
I injured my left knee and ankle last Sunday afternoon while playing badminton and they are both in bandages.
The floor was slippery and I landed awkwardly.
The bone setter says I need 3 to 4 weeks to heal completely and can't play during this time.
Wonder if LCW's medical staffs can help me.

Do you think that Morten Frost will attend the All England Open this year?
I did like his commentary to be honest.I wonder if he will ever commentate (with GC) again... Maybe on a match witch LCW.![]()
I did like his commentary to be honest.
He added even more technical stuff than Gill.
I think now he's in the job he has to think about the future of Malaysian badminton and maybe disregarded LCW.Yeah, me too. It's just weird to see that these two don't get along as Morten seems to be a big fan of LCW.
