Too much cricket is finally enough

For years now, there have been debates about how to compare cricket statistics from the past with now. The wise words are always said that this is impossible because players from yesteryear never played as many games as they do now. Bradman could never have scored 10,000 test runs.

Well, now we know, we have reached saturation point in cricket. There are so many games now that players have to be rested, lest they suffer mental and/or physical breakdown. Players even ask to be excused from international games. So cricket records will now reach a limit and the statisticians can go to work.
