Johnson | 707 | Australia | | 4. | K.D. Mills | 697 | New Zealand | | 5. | S.C.J. Broad | 684 | England | | 6. | M. Muralitharan | 674 | Sri Lanka | | 7. | W.P.U.J.C. Vass | 672 | Sri Lanka | | 8. | A. Flintoff | 668 | England | | 9. | J.D.P. Oram | 664 | New Zealand | | 10. | B. Lee | 657 | Australia |  The Rankings have surprises like Nathan Bracken topping the ODI Bowlers Chart where as the consistent performers like Ricky Ponting, Muralitharan, Vass and Mohammad Yousuf find their places in rakings for both forms of the game.
Indians have nothing to cheer about as their captain has been unable to justify his rank one in ODI Batsmen with his recent performances. Tendulkar holds a place in the Top 10 ODI batsmen due to his few good knocks but again nothing to celebrate.
Cricket360 congratulates those who have made it this time and also wishes them ‘Good Luck’ to maintain their performances. We also wish all other cricketers an exciting year ahead in which they can prove themselves and knock the ICC Rankings door.
