Further down the ladder are the absent trio of Irfan Pathan (26th), S Sreesanth (33rd) and Rudra Pratap Singh (42nd) but Ishant Sharma has nudged into the top 50, up six places to 48th.
For Sri Lanka, Kumar Sangakkara, who started the series at the top of the batting table, is now fifth. He dropped one place after the first match at the Sinhalese Sports Club and has slipped a further three places after the match in Galle.
But the left-hander remains his side's top-ranked batsman but Mahela Jayawardene is now just one spot below him.
The batting list is still headed by the West Indies' Shivnarine Chanderpaul, although he is only narrowly clear of the Australia duo of Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting and Mohammad Yousuf of Pakistan.
A consolation for Sri Lanka is that it still possesses the player at the top of the bowling ladder, spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, while mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis is now 39th in the table after just two Tests, having returned match figures of 10-209 in Galle. |
