but i understand your point, yes there are better players than our guys waiting in the wings in other countries, but at the same time these LG rankings are purely mathematical. you can't argue against the rating points or the ranking thereof.

not exactly sure what you're saying here..... but to give an example, someone like David Hussey (mike hussey's younger brother) would pretty much be guaranteed a spot in any test side other than australia. the reason he hasn't made the aussie test side is because there is too much depth to make the team, not because he isn't good enough to play test cricket. these players could potentially (we're never going to truly know unless they do play test cricket) rack up more rating points and therefore rank higher than some of the players already in that ranking system, that would mean some players on the list would have to be doing better than they are currently to achieve the rank they've currently been given, and if they don't then they'd be pushed down the list....
