Steve Waugh has returned to number one place on the Test batting
rankings released by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (the former Coopers &
Lybrand) on Monday, displacing Sachin Tendulkar to second position.
The ratings have been updated following the First Test between
Pakistan and Australia at Rawalpindi, and the one-off Test between
Zimbabwe and India at Harare. Waugh (849 pts) scored 157 in
Australia's innings win over Pakistan, while Tendulkar (821 pts) lost
thirty points when he made 34 and 7 in India's loss to Zimbabwe.
Century-maker Rahul Dravid (804 pts) jumps to third place ahead of
Brian Lara (790) while Saeed Anwar (752) is now fifth. Zimbabwe's
Murray Goodwin has advanced to thirteenth position.
On the bowling rankings, there was some minor shuffling of places
among positions six to eleven. Glenn McGrath actually lost four points
following the Rawalpindi Test but retains third place. Allan Donald
continues in front followed by Curtly Ambrose.
