Newly crowned Allan Border medallist Pat Cummins has become the first Australian bowler to top the ICC Test bowling rankings in 13 years.
Cummins’ rating of 878 in the latest rankings put him ahead of veteran Englishman James Anderson, who slightly improved his rating from 860 to 862.
Kasigo Rabada dropped 33 ratings points to 849 to slide from first to third after he collected 3-145 in South Africa’s one-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in the first Test in Durban.
