PwC Ratings
Trescothick leapfrogs to ninth spot
Wisden Cricinfo staff - September 9, 2003
Marcus Trescothick's double-century against South Africa at The Oval has propelled him nine places into ninth spot in the PwC ratings for batsmen. Inzamam-ul-Haq's matchwinning hundred against Bangladesh took him up three places to No. 5. There wasn't much to celebrate for Michael Vaughan, though, who slumped to 15th place after a disappointing series against South Africa. Graeme Smith fell back to No. 25 after managing a mere 93 from his last six innings.
The top three slots in the bowlers' list remained unchanged, but Shoaib Akhtar and Jacques Kallis both leapt four places after impressive performances in the recent Tests. Three of the South African bowlers who played the series figured in the top 15, while none from the England squad made it to the top 30. In fact, the top three England bowlers in the list were Andy Caddick (No. 10), Matthew Hoggard (No. 22) and Dominic Cork (No. 30). Among the bowlers who played for England this season, Steve Harmison was the highest ranked, at a modest No. 32.

Hayden back on top of batting rankings
Lynn McConnell
October 14, 2003
Not only did Matthew Hayden's world record score of 380 deny Brian Lara ownership of the record, it also removed him from No 1 placing on the PwC ratings of Test batsmen. It is not Hayden's first appearance at the head of the rankings, that occurred a year ago against Pakistan.
He had not been out of the top three since then. But the Perth innings could still not displace Lara from the ranking as the scorer of the highest-rated innings. That is still regarded as his 213 at Kingston in 1999, while VVS Laxman's 281 at Kolkata in 2001, is also ahead of him as both were scored against strong Australian attacks. The fact that Hayden scored his runs against the weak Zimbabwe bowling downgrades his performance according to the ratings.
TEN TOP RATED TEST INNINGS SINCE 1990 ACCORDING TO PwC:
213 Brian Lara v Australia, Kingston, 1999
281 VVS Laxman v Australia, Kolkata 2001
154* Graham Gooch v West Indies, Headingley 1991
329 Inzamam-ul-Haq v NZ, Lahore 2002
380 Matthew Hayden v Zim, Perth 2003
188* Saeed Anwar v Ind, Kolkata 1999
333 Graham Gooch v Ind, Lord's 1990
375 Brian Lara v England, St John's 1994
226 Gordon Greenidge v Aus, Bridgetown 1991
274* Stephen Fleming v SL, Colombo 2003
