we play sr Lanka in a two test match series coming up, last time Lara faced up to the srilankans was last year when he scored 558runs in three tests. so i'd expect him to climb the ladder a couple more steps after those two tests have finished.

Vaughan slips from top spot in PwC ratings
Wisden CricInfo staff - May 25, 2003

Michael Vaughan has relinquished his title as the top-ranked batsman in Test cricket, following his failure during England's innings victory over Zimbabwe at Lord's.

Vaughan managed just eight runs in his only innings of the match, and Australia's Matthew Hayden has moved ahead of him by a single point, thanks to his century in the final Test against West Indies in Antigua last week.

Other Englishmen have made gains after the Lord's victory. Marcus Trescothick has moved up to 18th place after a fluent 59, while Mark Butcher, who scored a century and took five wickets, is 21st.

Shaun Pollock, who arrives in England in June to compete in a five-Test series for South Africa, remains at the top of the bowling stakes, ahead of Australia's Glenn McGrath.

Top 10 batsmen
1 Matthew Hayden (Australia)
2 Michael Vaughan (England)
3 Ricky Ponting (Australia)
4 Sachin Tendulkar (India)
5 Brian Lara (West Indies)
6 Jacques Kallis (South Africa)
7 Adam Gilchrist (Australia)
8 Inzamam-ul-Haq (Pakistan)
9 Rahul Dravid (India)
10 Herschelle Gibbs (South Africa)

Michael Vaughan's two failures against Zimbabwe have proven costly. He's dropped from first place to 4th.

Whereas he rocketed up the list with good performances against Australia, his two low scores against the 8th. ranked Test team dragged him down.

Pollock on top in PwC ratings
Wisden Cricinfo staff - August 19, 2003

Shaun Pollock has regained the top spot in the PricewaterhouseCoopers ratings for bowlers, after returning figures of 8 for 104 in the third Test against England at Trent Bridge. Pollock swapped places with Muttiah Muralitharan, who is in second place, 25 points behind Pollock.

Michael Vaughan may have registered his first Test win as captain, but scores of 1 and 5 in the match meant that he slipped five places to No. 8 in the batting list. The two centurions for England, Nasser Hussain and Mark Butcher, both improved their rankings. Hussain advanced eight places to No. 20, while Butcher moved up three places to a career-best No. 17.

Mark Richardson has played 24 Tests for New Zealand since his debut in 2000. He has 2 centuries, a highest score of 143 and 16 half centuries with an average of 48.73

Andy Caddick hasn't retired, that I know of, but with Kirtley, Anderson, Johnson, Harmison and possibly Hoggard, Bicknell, Ali and Chapple all ahead of him (and younger), it's highly likely he's played his last Test.

His rating in the top ten is still inflated from his 5th. Test performance against the Aussies, in Sydney. Wickets against Australia are worth far more than against the lower teams.
