ICC removes Yousuf from test rankings

[HMas]

but not from ODIs. Does it means that ICC allowes ICL players in ODIs or they did not wanted Yousuf to be # 1 test batsmen since Chanderpaul lost points and went below Yousuf who had 882 points.

Giving out team information.

However, goocheslamb on the spot.

How do you decide who is or isn't included in the list?

Players have to have appeared in a match within the qualifying period to appear in the lists (normally 12-15 months for Tests, 6-12 months for ODIs). For example, Anil Kumble disappeared from the ratings lists for a while in 2001 because he hadn't played a Test for over a year, but he reappeared as soon as he played his next Test. If a player confirms his retirement he is also removed from the list. So, for example, Darren Gough was removed from the Test ratings in August 2003 (though he remained in the ODI list because he hadn't retired from that form of the game). Players are in the rankings as soon as they complete a match. However, we only publish the top 100 players (at most), so it can take several matches for a player to break into that.

Samuels is only banned temporarily, no?

Esactly, he'll be back in a year or so... or hopefully shorter if this appeal thing works out... don't know how that's going now though

More for bringing the game into disrepute for having his hotel bill paid.

Merely means ICC needs to be more diligent in its record-keeping. ICC's clerical shortcomings are not worth a thread IMHO.

Actually it was the irrelevant third option “made a mistake/was labouring under a misapprehension”

Not convinced the gratuitous insult was necessary, particularly from a global moderator, but hey ho ………………..
