Tell me

1. In cricket and football, young players react faster than the players who are over 30 years of age.

2.In cricket and football, young players react faster than the players of over 30 years.


Is the second sentence correct too?

Hello Andrei In both sentences, you can leave out the 'the'. In sentence 2 , 'players of over 30 years' could mean 'players of over 30 years' experience', so isn't quite what you want. ' Some people would prefer 'more quickly' to 'faster'.

Hello Andrei

In sentence 2 , 'players of over 30 years' could mean 'players of over 30 years' experience', so isn't quite what you want.

You could compress it a little:

'In cricket and football, young players react faster than players over 30.'

Some people would prefer 'more quickly' to 'faster'.
