Craig HillMichael Clarke Rises In Rankings
January 2nd 2009 09:56
Australian vice-captain Michael Clarke has risen to ninth place on the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for Test batsmen.
Following scores of 88 not out and 29 in the second 3 Mobile Test against South Africa, Clarke rose to his highest career rating and is now some three places behind Australian skipper Ricky Ponting.
Ponting, who scored 101 and 99 in the Boxing Day Test, moved up three places to sixth, but team-mate Michael Hussey dropped out of the top 10 for the first time since March 2006.
Hussey has only managed 10 runs in his last four innings and is now ranked 11th in the rankings, with West Indian left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul the top rated batsman.
Stuart Clark (fourth), Mitchell Johnson (fifth) and Brett Lee (ninth) are the three Australians in the top 10 for bowling, with South African speedster Dale Steyn (second) closing the gap at the top of the rankings on Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralidaran.
