In the ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers, West Indies' Sunil Narine has moved up a place to third to reclaim his career-best placing thus far. Narine has also achieved a personal best-ever 740 ratings points in this series against Australia.

Clint McKay of Australia has broken into the top 10 of the bowlers' list for the first time ever by moving up seven places to seventh. McKay's nine wickets from five games at an average of 21.88 helped him break into the top 10 in seventh spot, while his teammate Mitchell Johnson has jumped five places to 14th.

The bowlers' table is still headed by Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal, with Mohammad Hafeez in second place.

There is no change in the top 10 of the all-rounders' list. Hafeez continues to head this table with Shakib Al Hasan and Watson in second and third places respectively.

In the latest ICC ODI Championship Table, the top half is so closely bunched that just 12 ratings points separates India from sixth-placed Pakistan. For the West Indies, the 0-5 series loss against Australia saw it drop four ratings points to 84 even as it continued to retain seventh place.
