Shiv, Collymore Climb ICC Rankings

Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Corey Collymore are heading in the right direction on the Test ICC Player Rankings.

Chanderpaul, who made an unbeaten 97 in the first innings of the St Kitts Test, is up five spots to 17th and that means the home side now has two players inside that top 20 with captain Brian Lara unchanged in ninth position.

Collymore remains his side?s leading Test bowler in the rankings, up four places to 17th place, the only West Indies bowler inside the top 20.

Further down the list Jermone Taylor?s impressive form in St Kitts, where he took four wickets, has seen him move into the top 100 for the first time, and he is up 22 places to 91st, with his best-ever haul of rating points.

Daren Ganga, who made 135 ? his third Test hundred ? and 66 in the third Test, has risen 20 places in the batting list to 68th position and is another player with a career-best rating, while Marlon Samuels is up 13 places to 84th spot.

Among other batsmen, Chris Gayle is 23rd and Ramnaresh Sarwan, another centurion in the drawn match, is in 30th place.

Gayle is the West Indies? leading player in the LG ICC Player Rankings for Test all-rounders, in joint eighth position with Australia?s Shane Warne, while Irfan Pathan remains in fifth spot.
