Players getting tired!

BCCI has announced another tour for our already "tired" players in September. India to play a tri-series against Sri-lanka and Kiwis. The dates are yet to be finalized.

Do you think its a right decision, imp, when Dhoni had clearly said that the reason for there early exit from T20 world cup could be fatigue.

Poll in your votes, with your comments here

If they are tired then they should talk to BCCI and decide when to play or with what players to play.. i guess its better to play one perfect series in a while and win it rather than playing all matches and loosing them.

kudos to Dhoni for letting us know the reason for poor performance by Indian team in T20 world cup!!!
Ignorant me. Never thought that Dhoni 'n company were tired.
The only thing that bugs me the most is "Innovative Excuses" made by the players after the defeat.
They didn't utter a single word while they played IPL. Why should they? They were getting heavily paid.

BCCI means business. So if the board is contemplating to "Entertain" us by making already tired players to play even more, I am more than happy. They are professionls and get paid highly.
So gladiators enter into the arena. We masses are cheering for you.... die die die

I thought it was the lack of practice as the players were all busy making ads and shopping

Everyone knows the reason, IPL is now bigger than country.

Whatever be the excuse, the condition is really pathetic.

As long as he steals the idea from others and generates money for BCCI, he's bigger than the GAWD Himself.
Heard that APL(American Premier League) is in the offing. England Cricket Board is also considering for it's own T20 tournament.
Now we just need to wait and watch,where Mr. Modi really stands.

I don't understand what they mean by tired. In 20 - 20 it is hardly 4 - 5 hours of work. There are people in India who take 10 hours of continuous physical activity. And if they mean mental strain, I am sure they will find proper company here. Most of us work tirelessly about 10 hours or more to make a living. If Indian team is represented by people who are sub standard in mental and physical stamina, it is better to step down than make such remarks.

Just a bunch of excuse. They enjoy the premium comfort that is available for an Indian. How can they say tired simply for fielding 4 hours. I may wonder how many hit a half century in every match. So what about test cricket ? Why don't we stop it as it will make you tired to death when compared to 20 - 20.

Very well said.
Had cricket not earned so much money for them, many of them would have been toiling for 12-13 hrs a day in some obscure village.

Well said meetdilip..

[aashaka_gandhi]

well yes they play a game of 4-5 hours in 20-20 but obviously they need to practice as well........say about 4-5 hours too...!!!

i kno my brother plays cricket professionally...... n so did some of my frens but thy had to quit since it took soo much of practice sessions n at the end of it u r all tired n exhausted....obviously its necessary.....thy r getting paid n its their job to do!!!

but i feel there should be some break in between.....all BCCI wants is money ...... thy do not care for anything else....doesnt matter to em much!!! obviously who wouldnt want money...i wont blame BCCI totally ...also these players go ahead n do ads..... too!

Very good point dilip and valid too.I think the subject to discuss should be "Are players really tired?"

They should get in shape and be more fit.
These guys are lazy bums.
