Vernon Philander deservedly moved past Dale Steyn in the ICC Test rankings after the first Sunfoil Test at the Wanderers against India, where he took 6 wickets in the match. (Rankings supplied by http://www.relianceiccrankings.com/)
Furthermore, South Africa remains the number one Test team in the world, going into the second and last Test against India at Kingsmead, Durban on Thursday, the 26th. AB de Villiers is still ranked as the number 1 batsman, while Amla hangs onto second spot after a mediocre first test performance at the Bullring.
