Four Indians in ICC blacklist

Chennai Online News Service - View News: "Three of India's charges were laid during the recent Australian series where captain Sourav Ganguly was fined for slow over-rate, Rahul Dravid for applying an illegal substance on the ball and Irfan Pathan for mocking a rival player. Harbhajan Singh was fined last year for making abusive comment in a one-day match against South Africa at Dhaka.

Pakistan have only one bad boy to worry about, Shoaib Akhtar who had three charges against his name alone. The other Pakistanis to feature in the list are Rashid Latif, who was held guilty once and given a clean chit another time, and Yousuf Youhana.

West Indies can give themselves a pat on their back -- not for their show with the bat and ball but for being the only team not to have a charge laid against any of their players.

World champions Australia have four incidents reported against them with vice-captain Adam Gilchrist guilty twice. South Africa have the maximum players guilty at five."
