Cricket is a diverse sport; it is not like any other sport. In cricket there is no off-season.
Basically, There is a match every day.
There are many formats in cricket and I will See which one tests the player the best .
The three formats are tests, Odis and t2o.
Traditionaly, tests were the best format to test a player because it tests cricketing stamina.
Recently, t20s grew in popularity and they test strategy. This is because every over counts as 5% of the entire game.
T20 also tests players under pressure.
This is why I want to find the truth. Experienced, old cricket players and pundits prefer the test match. One the other hand t20 is growing In popularity.
The materials I need is a device which has access to the internet and Espncricinfo's statsguru.
The barriers I face is a simple question. What if every player has a preferred format which he excels in?
I can consult pundits Like Satish Acharya, Harsha Bhogle, Ian Chappell, Ed Smith.
(I have a .000000000000000000001% chance of contacting these people.
If I want to talk to a pro cricket player I have a .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%. Chance.

The Kindergarden debate
In this large and competitive world, there is huge unbalance as the rules promote advantages and disadvantages. I disagree with the NY Times Post about starting Kindergarden early. I think that if you wait to put your child into the next class, it will prove to be a advantage.As Malcolm Gladwell argues, the mind is more mature and developed compared to other minds of the same class if you delay school. He also argues that this advantage builds up to success because of this. If you delay Kindergarden, the mind will be more advanced then those of your peers. This is true because, a mind that is 5 months older is always more mature than a mind that is 5 months younger.
If you don't delay Kindergarden, the younger children will feel weaker physically, emotionally, and mentally because of the age advantage. And the advantage you gain in Kindergarden is much more beneficial beacause it will build up. If you have this "accumalative advantage" , you might be better off in life than other people.
Dr. Wang argues that this advantage dissapears. I don't agree with this because a older mind will always be an advantage because you will have a head start. So theoretically, this advantage won't dissapear. School may make children smarter, but for some it may not help emotionally.
In conclusion, the Outlier's argument is more complete. It is a better arguement because, realistically it is true. Your mind is more developed if you delay Kindergarden, and that is why I agree with Malcom Gladwell.
