Ok here is my rant for the evening!
This has already been partly discussed in a thread, but I wanted to post a topic devoted to something that worries me..
Another pointless limited overs tourney has come to an end. This time, there was no prize money, no result and no point... A few people have had their averages inflated against a Bangladesh side who can barely play Aussie grade cricket...My point is, there is too much cricket, both tests and ODI's ..
Wasn't cricket more special when you had to wait in expectation for the start of the new season, or a winter tour? Im sure the players felt more hyped up so they played better... I suspect many a career has already been cut short by burnout, there is just too much cricket at the moment.... Not only was cricket more special, but I can also remeber waiting for a series like Englands last tour of the West Indies, when much less meaningless cricket was being played, so I enjoyed it more...
There is a lot of good cricket at the moment, but because it is always happening, it isnt special any more....
Im only 16, and im looking back..Either i must be acting very old, or this has been a sudden and alarming change in the game. The ICC better sort it out, before we see a second string aussie side take on Bangladesh in Darwin, or fine players being snuffed out of cricket by burn-out...
