da spicy bet： The latest PwC one-day ratings
Wisden Cricinfo staff09-Feb-2004Jacques Kallis has moved to the top of the top of the PwC one-day ratings, after his barnstorming run of form in the recent series against West Indies. Kallis scored two centuries and a 95 not out in five matches, to add to his four hundreds in consecutive Tests earlier on the tour. He leads Adam Gilchrist, the recent Man of the VB Series, by one point on the table. Following in their wake is Chris Gayle, whose efforts almost salvaged a drawn series for West Indies.Kallis became the highest-scoring South African batsman in ODI cricket in that decisive fifth match. He is now 16th in the list of alltime ODI run-scorers, after amassing 361 runs in five innings against the Windies, at anaverage of 180.50.RankBatsmanPoints1Jacques Kallis8162Adam Gilchrist8153Chris Gayle7974Sachin Tendulkar7875Michael Bevan7316Ricky Ponting7287Sanath Jayasuriya7238Yousuf Youhana7219Brian Lara71510Matthew Hayden709And there’s a South African at the top of the bowling charts as well. Shaun Pollock has leapfrogged Muttiah Muralitharan, after picking up eight wickets at barely three runs an over. He is joined in the top ten by his team-mate Makhaya Ntini, although the highest-rated West Indian, Merv Dillon, is way off the pace in 19th position. And just behind Murali’s partner-in-crime, Chaminda Vaas, is Brett Lee, who burst back to form in the final matches of the VB Series, after an indifferent season.RankBowlerPoints1Shaun Pollock9222M Muralitharan9113=Chaminda Vaas8363=Brett Lee8365Glenn McGrath8006Andrew Flintoff7747Makhaya Ntini7738Jason Gillespie7679Jacob Oram74210James Anderson703For the complete ratings, click on www.cricketratings.com
