Too much cricket?

[Brainfade]

I was talking to a friend this past weekend, and I said that it sure feels like India plays more international cricket than any other team. He says no, and argued that I felt that way because I paid more attention when India plays. So, the question is easy. Has Team India played more international cricket than any other team in the past 3 years? But being computationally challenged, I cannot pull up these stats easily. Would someone help me out here?

Fewer ODIs, more test matches please. Notice how India has played 56 games and the next highest is 44. BAN the 7 series odi series.

I doubt whether the tests will happen instead we will agree to a 5 match ODI series with them to fill their coffers and get their vote guarantee ..... on the whole I would like to see the following balance year to year 12-14 tests 25-30 ODI's 6-8 20-20s instead we fluctuate from 6-14 tests 35-50 ODIs no track record to be able to assess 20/20

Definitely, India plays more cricket with no fix potential at bench. Next is Aussies, they play a lot alongwith us but they have proper rotational policy creating a good bench strength. At present, we have more youngsters playing for us than Australians. Still, we don't have much potential to implement rotation policy.

Once IPL starts, I think number of ODIs and Tests will decrease. Though amount of fatigue for players will remain the same. Only officially, we will play less tests and ODIs.:D
