Should the BCCI reduce the number of ODI games played to avoid burn out of key players?

EVERY ODI IS RAINING MONEY TO BCCI.\n\nI DONT THINK THEY MAY REDUCE THE MATCHES.

NO.\n\nBUT WE CAN ONLY IF,\n\nDRAVID be removed from CAPTAINCY and ODI-Why?\n\nThe worst captain- \ncould not control SA from 6 wicket down for 76; finally SA made 275. \nAny 18yrs child can do better job.\n\nHe made 63 in 103 balls and it is equvalent of 184 in 50 overs. This means he played for his retaintion in the team but not for win of INDIA. \nHE SCORED +50 for 63 but SCORED (NEGETIVE) -100 for playing TEST Match in ODI. \n\nThe net score of dravid is (negative)-50. This means he can play TEST but he shall be removed from ODI side of INDIA.\n\nShri DHONI be made CAPTAIN- Why?\n\n\nHe scored 55 in 48 balls, this is equivalent to 344 runs in 50 overs. Therefore he played for win of INDIA. HE GOT 50 FOR SCORING 55, and 100 FOR PLAYING FOR WIN OF INDIA and not mere for his retaintion in the team.\n\nTHEREFORE DHONI WITH 150 MARKS OUT OF 100 WILL THE CAPTAIN IN THE NEXT ODI\n\nShri DRAVID WITH (-)50 SCORE SHALL BE DROPPED FROM ODI AND RESERVED FOR TEST ONLY.

There are 2 types of game \n\n1.One day game known as ODI lasts for approximately 6hrs + 45mins break. \n2.Test match is for 5days where 2 teams can bat 2 times (Innings)\n3.Now ICC (International Cricket Council) is trying to promote 20/20 games which last less then 1day game. Difference between these two is One Day game has 50 Overs X 6 pitches where 20/20 has 20 Overs X 6 pitches

With the conditions that you have mentioned, no. Gavaskar would be next best with 17% (6 losses in 34 hundreds).\n\nIf you relax the rules a bit, Vinoo Mankad (who played 44 Tests) had 5 hundreds and three losses (60%)

I think the team and the management people should concentrate more on the game and the strategies to win...including a good batting line-up, bowlers and plzzzz...teach them how to field...coz this is one of their negative aspects....to be honest, there's nothing much we fans could do...it really depends upon the entire team to play with all their abilities...as it's still not too late..they can do it...IF..they want to..which is a 'BIG QUESTION MARK??'!!

There have been lots of instances where a false decision has directly affected the outcome of the game. I think this is a very good move by the ICC. I've heard they will experiment this new rule during next years world cup. As far as the time consumed by referals to the third umpire are concerned, it isn't a problem. A few minutes more won't do any harm to the game. The human element might just take a plunge but that doens't matter. Accurate decisions are a lot more important.

ALLOW VERENDER SEHWAG AND MS DHONI TO PLAY FIRST 15 OVERS AND LAST 5 OVERS COMPULSORY.\nDON'T GIVE THEM OUT IN THESE OVERS.

you are correct! captaincy should be changed!\n\nonly 3 players an be retained : Dhoni,Kumble, and Zaheer Khan\nplayer who can be considered :Tendulkar, harbhanjan and Dravid\n\nrest :Shewag ,Kaif ,pathan,Mongia,Kharthik,Jaffer,Agarkar,Raina\nshould be dropped forever!!\n\nthey had lot of chances or they are not suitable for one days!!\n\nYuvraj and gaugu ly can come back for their experience!\n\nShould introduce fresh batsman fast bowler and spinner!\n\nIf even after that we fail , we  know that we move upwards otherwise India wont improve

Yes they are playing to little tests, but the reason for that is that the BCCI (Board for Control for Cricket in India) know that one day games generate a lot more money.  So to boost their income, they will rather play more ODI's.

Anmol,  though I am also not having very good best answer %age but still slightly better than urs.\nI have just gone through few answers of your answers and I am sorry to say that your answers used to be too biased. Its quite clear that you are a big fan of few stroke makers and you dont understand the roles of other players. You need to watch deeper in the cricket matches than just watching Sixes.\nIts my opinion you may not agree to it, but I stated whatever i felt.

yes because there are not that many place to play and practice as in the US, because cricket is big in India.

At the moment almost all cricket playeres are facing that problem. I've heard the ICC will give atleast two weeks off to players after every series in the future.

EVERTONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION.\n\nFOR ME, LIVE CRICKET IS 100% WORTHY TO TV TELECAST.\n\nBUT, AFTER 10 OR 15 YEARS THE TREND MAY CHANGE.\n\nI FEAR  PEOPLE  FED-UP WITH CRICKET SLOWLY.

One of ur suggestion has already been taken care of. Players can ask for the third umpire against the decision of on-field umpires and they need not to pay even the fee. Only thing is that it'll be subjected to 3 appeals per innings. As far as Players Vs Beaurocrats is concerned, i feel that you are right, players should be more involved.\nBut we cant give everything in their hands as they might have better knowledge about the game but will be lacking the good management skills which we need to run any organisation.\nAnd as far as selection is concerned, thats been done by respective cricket boards... not by ICC.

agree. it is more useful to take these type of young talents in the team rather than that of kaif, mongia,sehwag etc. who failed to perform consistantly
