Huss and Steyn top the ICC rankings

[Donny]

Mike Hussey has risen to the top of the ICC Test rankings for batsmen without lifting his bat since the last Test against India. Kumar Sangakkara's disappointing two-Test series in the West Indies, during which he scored 95 runs, meant he slipped to third. Hussey is currently the only batsman with more than 900 points. Jacques Kallis, the South African batsman who scored his 30th Test century in Ahmedabad, has moved up two places and shares second spot with Ricky Ponting. Shivnarine Chanderpaul's match-winning 86 in the second Test against Sri Lanka in Port of Spain has seen him move into joint seventh position with the Mahela Jayawardene. 1 M.E.K.

please, Hussey scored half of his runs in one knock that had atleast 5 chances given to him, otherwise he did nothing in the remaining test matches.

For the first time in 3-4 years, SRT might be the highest ranking Indian bat in the rankings. BTW has any Indian bowler ever topped the rankings?

[Donny]

Yes. Bishen Bedi made #1 in 1973. Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble got as high as #2.

So the Club House leader grabs the top spot
