Does player burn-out really a cause of concern?

[tommcat]

I do see articles around stating that the players are playing more matches these days. (Note: Football clubs play upto 3-4 competitive matches each week). I really cant understand how cricketers get burnt out by playing matches by seasons and also we have different set of players for the different versions of the game.

Though I feel its demanding to keep playing, but I really dont think its good to reduce matches and deprieving us from watching them.

In India, cricket is the only game we can cheer for so much in the world arena. And our team is as good as anyone in the world on any given day. So I would like to watch my country play atleast two times a week.

What do you feel?

I thk football and cricket cannot be compared both r different games and i do thk tht thr is lot of action going on ( though I dont mind it) but the administrators shd make sure tht the players get eneough break between matches and they r neither underplayed or overplayed :)
