Australian Michael Clarke knocked Guyanese Shivnarine Chanderpaul to third when he jumped three places to second in the ICC rankings for Test batsmen, following his 187 at Old Trafford against
England.
Clarke, who had earlier topped the rankings during the 2009 Ashes, is now just 20 ratings points behind South Africa batsman Hashim Amla, whom he can overtake with another strong performance in the fourth Test in Chester-le-Street.
England batsmen Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen have also moved up in the rankings. Bell, who is leading the batting charts in the Ashes with 381 runs, is now placed 10th, while Pietersen’s century at Old Trafford helped him jump two places and he is now 14th on the list.
Marlon Samuels (18th), out of form opener Chris Gayle (21st) and Darren Bravo (23rd) are the other West Indians in the top 25.
In the bowler’s rankings, Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris leaped four places to achieve a career-best ranking of 11th, while Graeme Swann’s match figures of six for 233 took him to sixth, ahead of team-mate James Anderson.
South Africa’s Dale Steyn continues to head the bowlers’ table with teammate Vernon Philander in second place, and Sri Lanka’s Rangana Herath in third position.
Kemar Roach (13th) and off-spinner Shane Shillingford (22nd) are the only West Indians among the top 25. West Indies Captain Darren Sammy is the 8th ranked All-Rounder in the world in Test Cricket.
