My Solution to the Fatigue problem for the cricketers

Recently there has been discussions on the continuous amount of non-stop cricket that cricketers are playing nowadays. With the popularity of T20 and tournaments like IPL and world cup T20 , the fatigue factor among the players has even increased further. So its high time that we find a solution to the non-stop cricket that cricketers play nowadays. Also as a spectator we dont want the amount of cricket to reduce. Also the cricket boards and sponsors dont want to lose money because of less cricket.

Keeping these points in mind i have tried to find a Mathematical solution for this problem. I think the main reason for fatigue is that players play too many matches during a certain period of time , like they play say 3 tests and 8 ODIs in one month. That puts a tremendous amount of pressure on their body. For this purpose , i think a rule should be made that you are allowed to play only certain number of matches during a period of time.


To make this rule i think certain point should be given to tests , ODIs and T20s. For example 10 points for a test , 5 points for an ODI and 3 points for a T20. Now if a player plays one test match and one ODI , then he has 10+5=15 points. Now we should make a rule such that a player doesnt exceed certain amount of points in the last few days. Like we can make a rule like a player should not have more than 50 points in the last 30 days. Now if a player's point exceeds than 50 , then he should rest for few days and let his number of points reduce .Then again he can play. For example - Suppose a player has 50 points between 4th june to 4th july , and suppose he has played a test match between 5th june to 9th june... now points between 10th june to 10th july is 40 . So the player cant play between 5th july to 9th july , but can play on 10th july.This rule stops players from playing non-stop cricket continuously.

Now many people may argue that why shouldn't a team play his best player if he is fully fit. But i think if the team management does its calculations correctly then it can stop the player from playing in non-important matches and save him for crucial matches .Also the team's bench strength gets tested. A team having a pool of good players will succeed. Also the amount of cricket played doesnt reduce and hence spectators , boards and sponsors are happy.

I know this idea is not 100% correct. But i think my modifying this idea we can certainly come up with some solution for this fatigue problem.

Please post your valuable comments. DO let me know about my idea and the modifications to this idea.

Is Micheal Jackson Still alive?

Just days after Michael Jackson died, rumours are flooding the internet that he faked his own death.

Thousands of fans have been logging onto websites to join wacky conspiracy theories that the singer is still alive and is just getting ready to make a spectacular comeback.

One website released a photo three days after the singer's death claiming that he is alive.

Another says the singer has been planning this for a year-and-a-half and is now in hiding in eastern Europe. However, there is no proof to back these claims, reports the Sun.

Another site has released a photo it claims is of Jackson, insisting that the man who died on Thursday was the singer’s body double with a terminal illness whose family will be looked after in return.

“Over the past few days there have been many Michael sightings. People have emailed with pictures and amazing stories," a message reads.

“Michael is alive and well. The plot was 10 years in the making but it had to be done.

“We know he is alive because we have seen pictures. Clear pictures taken on June 26, 2009 of Michael Jackson lounging poolside with friends.

“Those close to Michael known about the plot for years, t was a very expensive and intricate venture.

“The man who died had a terminal illness and his death was long overdue. He was given facial surgery to resemble Michael exactly. No doubt his family will be taken care of.

“Soon, Michael’s new music will be out. Under a different name and with a drastically altered face... though a harmoniser has been used to disguise his voice”, the website claimed.
