Cricket Crazy

In the world of cricket, despite BCCI(Board of Control for Cricket in India) is one of the member of International Cricket Council(ICC), but due to its monetary power everybody in the world of cricket accept that BCCI has dominance over ICC. Question rises here why BCCI is the richest board? Its answer is that in India Cricket is only sport which has fan following of all the categories in the country whether they are boy or girl, student or professional, young or old age, men or women, that is why in India there is always competition among sports channels to get the rights of tournaments India team played home or away, and in returns channels gets massive advertisement bookings from companies and companies not only spend money on advertisement during tournaments but also have made lot of cricketers as brand ambassador as public is crazy for cricketers, other then sports channels news channels also covers cricket events extensively before and after game, all this make pouring of money on to everybody attached with Indian cricket tournaments, but cricket administrators does not consider cricketers as human beings that’s why they are keep on playing with same set of players until and unless they are not injured, and it has seen in recent times that during series score of players have to skip from the games in this regards we can take name of players like Ashish Nehra, Virendar Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Gautam Gambhir, so considering this that cricket is only sport for Indians they are crazy , hence BCCI should make contract with at least double the numbers of playing eleven and then keep on giving rest to players after three to four series on rotation basis, it will help players to remain fit and stretch their cricket career bit long, even we often listen the voices’ of players that they are tired or to much cricket is happening, but board calm them that if they feel it like this then they can tell the board, they have not any pressure on to them, but everybody knows once any player skip any series on the name of fatigue or tiredness then it will be tough him to return back in the team, so if along with playing eleven strong reserve bench created by contracting on yearly basis with thirty to forty players then it will not give feel of insecurity to any player.
     How much Indian cricket team is playing cricket? In this year from February month onwards Indian cricket team is playing series or tournaments after the gap of just week. India hosted cricket world cup along with other asian countries in the month of February, then after gap of week all the cricketers were busy in the IPL tournament, then after the gap of just week they played one day and test series in the West Indies against West Indies and from there now they are playing four test match series in England, all these series or tournaments Indian cricket team is playing continuous for almost six months now, and coming time they have same hectic schedule, but it is effecting on to their performances and its results is visible that India is doing very bad in England, whose glimpse is below coded - 
  • First test : - India and England played 2000 Test Match at Lords on 21st July to 25th July, and media hype the test match as Sachin will hit 100th ton which will be record in the history of test cricket, India won the toss and opted to filed first, England declared their first innings while playing 131.4 overs and scored 474 runs and lost eight wickets, for England piling massive scores KP Pietersen was the main players who was unbeaten at 202, but Indian cricket team all out in their first innings at 286, England declared their second innings at 269 for the lose of six wickets and set target to India of 458 runs in their second innings but Indian team collapsed in their second innings also and all out for 261 runs hence England won first test by 196 runs and took lead of 1-0, KP Pietersen declared Man of the Match.
  • Second Test  : - Second Test between England and India played on 29th July to 1st August at trent Bridge, Nottingham, again India won the toss and choose to field, England all out in their first innings in 68.4 overs and scored 221 runs, in reply India made 288 runs and took lead of 67 runs but England in their second innings scored mountain of scores for India to climb if they want to win, Indian batsmen perform pathetically and bundled out for only 158 runs in 47.4 overs, thus England get 2-0 lead, SCJ Broad declared man of the match.
  • Third Test :- Third test match played between both the team on 10th August to 13th August at Edgbaston, Birmingham, in this test match England won the toss and choose to field, India all out at 224 runs after facing 62.2 overs, in reply England declared their first innings at 710 for the lose of 7 wickets, AN Cook scored 294 runs, Indian cricket team again bundled out for only 244 runs in their second innings, England won the match with an innings and 242 runs, and took the lead in the series 3-0
  • Fourth Test :- under progress but it’s the same similar story as of previous three test matches and India is at the doorsteps of defeat.     
So it is the responsibilities of administrators to consider cricketers as human beings and try to give them some rest after few series, so that it won’t affect Indian cricket team performance and players won’t skip during series due to injury and fan cannot upset because of pathetic performance of cricketers.
