Australian fast bowler Nathan Bracken has once again taken the No.1 ranking as cricket’s best one-day bowler, despite the fact he cannot break into Australia’s Test squad.
The left-armer knocked New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori off top spot, while fellow Aussie leftie Mitchell Johnson is in third place.
The New Zealanders have also done surprisingly well, with Vettori in second place and Kyle Mills in fourth.
Indian one-day captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has edged ahead of Australia’s Mike Hussey to lead the one-day batsman rankings, although Hussey has recently taken top spot on the Test batsman list.
Australia’s Stuart Clark is the No.2 ranked Test bowler behind Muttiah Muralitharan.
