Sourav Ganguly has overtaken Michael Bevan as number one in the PwC One Day Ratings for batsmen. Bevan had been top without a break since early in 1999. The man of the series in India, Sachin Tendulkar (who has in the past been number one in the one-day ratings) has moved up two places to 8th. Shaun Pollock remains top of the bowling ratings.
The PwC one day ratings put more emphasis on players' recent performances than those a long time ago. The batting ratings take account of a batsman's scoring rate and other key factors, while the bowling ratings give credit both for wicket taking and economy.
