Let the Fittest Survive

Richard Bevan, Chief executive, Professional Cricketers' Association, complains that

“The amount of cricket being played by our top stars is unprecedented in the
history of our game.”

He goes on to add:

Some thrive, some collapse. Some breeze through and others seethe inside. By its
nature, this is an affliction that arises from a large number of causes and
every case will be different, but it is undeniably at its heart a "volume of
cricket" issue.

How do people or organisations make such inappropriate statements and expect to convince their listeners or readers about the legitimacy of their complaints?

Firstly, everyone has job related stress, but unlike these selected few, others are not rewarded as handsomely.

Secondly, no one forced these ‘elitists’ to choose cricket as their profession. They did so by themselves. A lot many of us never had the choice of working in a profession we love.

Thirdly, not many jobs permit you to travel with your wife in tow. A telling perk denied to most CEO’s around the world.

Finally, a question for the Professional Cricketers Association, is there any law which states that only a few should represent their country?

Chuck out these wimps, bring in the bold, the new and the strong. Let the fittest survive.
