----------------------------

Awaiting player ratings update.

Expect Clarke and Warner to move up from their 9th. & 10th. positions.

Sids could drop a place or two, simply because he didn't play - injured or omitted, the player loses points.

Johnson & Harris (both took 7 wickets) will consolidate at #3 & #4. Either one could displace Philander from the #2 spot.

Donny, I think you meant to say "Johnson and Harris"?

The real question there is what did Bangladesh do to get 19 points?

[Donny]

Warner, Harris on the rise.

Dave Warner moved up to #6 from #10 on the ICC World Test batting table, after his 2 centuries against Sth. Africa. Michael Clark held his #9 spot but improved his rating.

Ryan Harris displaced Vernon Philander at #2 on the bowlers' list whilst Dayle Steyn retained top spot. Mitchell Johnson is still at #4 but also improved his rating.

Australia’s 245-run victory in the third and final Test in Cape Town against number-one ranked South Africa has not only helped it win the series 2-1, but will also allow it to finish in second position on the ICC Test rankings table at the April 1 cut-off date.

The thrilling victory in Cape Town also means Australia, which had entered the series in third position on 111 ratings points, has gained four ratings points to finish on 115 – three ratings points ahead of India.

Australia win US$370,000 while India will have to settle with US$265,000. England will receive US$160,000 for finishing fourth.

South Africa, thanks to its commanding lead at the top of the table, retains the mace in spite of dropping to 127 ratings points and is awarded US$475,000.

At the January 2012 meeting, the ICC Board had approved a proposal to substantially increase incentives in the form of prize money to promote Test cricket.

In 2015, the total prize money will be increased to US$1.34 million, which will be distributed to the teams that finish in the top four at the April 1, 2015 cut-off date.

The number-one ranked side will receive US$500,000, followed by US$390,000, US$280,000 and US$170,000 to the sides that will finish second, third and fourth, respectively.
