Windies duo moves up Test rankings

DUBAI, UAE (CMC) — Captain Darren Sammy and pacer Ravi Rampaul have made significant jumps in the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) bowlers’ rankings, following outstanding performances in the first Test against Pakistan which West Indies won by 40 runs on Sunday.

Sammy, a steady medium-pacer, leaped 16 spots to 29th, while Rampaul jumped 36 places to 58th in the rankings, to be some of the biggest movers in the latest rankings released Monday.

Both seamers had a huge impact on the outcome of the match, with Sammy taking five for 29 in the second innings for match figures of seven for 45 while Rampaul supported with four for 48 to finish with seven for 75 in the match.

Pakistan, resuming the day on 80 for three, were dismissed for 178 as they chased down 219 to win at the National Stadium at Providence.

Debutant leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo, who took four for 68 in the first innings, has entered the rankings at 81st.

There has been no change to the top 10 with South African speedster Dale Steyn heading the rankings.

There was no good news for the Windies on the batting side of the rankings as only veteran left-hander Shiv Chanderpaul experienced any positive movement by easing one place into seventh, replacing Sri Lankan stroke-maker Mahela Jayawardene.

Chanderpaul hit a top score of 36 not out in the Windies second innings to steer them towards 152 all out.

Ramnaresh Sarwan, meanwhile, dropped two places to 34th; left-hander Brendan Nash slipped four places to 45th; Darren Bravo five spots to 70th, while opener Devon Smith slid three slots down to 72nd.

Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar continues to lead the rankings with the top six also unchanged.
