Blackwood the biggest mover in ICC rankings

West Indies middle order batsman Jermaine Blackwood has emerged as the biggest mover in the latest Reliance ICC Player Rankings on the strength of impressive batting in the just ended series against England in the Caribbean.

Blackwood has soared 31 places to a career-high 37th spot after scores of 85 and 47 which helped West Indies to win the third test by five wickets and square the series one game apiece on Sunday.

The Jamaican batsman, who scored his maiden test century during the series, enjoyed a match-winning 108-run fifth wicket partnership with Darren Bravo whose second innings contribution of 82 has put him up three places to 29th.

Meantime there were major gains for three West Indies bowlers-Jerome Taylor, Shannon Gabriel and Jason Holder.
